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. Mrs. Tuttle passed away recently.
