The Betts House has been part
of
Cincinnati's history for over two hundred years. Built in 1804 it is
located in the Betts-Longworth Historic District in the city's West
End. In 1995 the oldest surviving residental building in downtown
Cincinnati and the oldest brick house in Ohio became
the Betts House Research Center, a place dedicated to the study of
building materials and traditions.This remarkable survivor of
Cincinnati's period of settlement serves as a valuable resource and
artifact for the study of early building materials and architecture.
