Founder:
Martha Tuttle
Martha
Tuttle is a direct descendent of the
Betts' family. Her mother (Florence Stevenson McCrea Benedict), her
grandmother (Adeline Betts McCrea), and her great-grandfather (Isaac
Betts), were all born in the house at 416 Clark Street. Largely due to
her
strong interest in historic preservation, the Betts House remains a
living artifact to Cincinnati's rich and varied history.
