History
The Maryland Avenue Steps connect the base of Price Hill to Mount Hope Avenue, near the former route of the Price Hill Incline. Cincinnati's second inclined-plane railway, the Price Hill Incline ran from 8th and Glenway up some 800 slant-feet and required bridges with stone piers and massive wooden beams to pass over Maryland Avenue. After nearly 70 years of service, the incline closed in 1943, and the steps remained as the pedestrian link between the avenues. Source: Walking the Steps of Cincinnati, Ohio University Press, 2014.
