The Rawson House is a historic building along Clifton Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

## History

[edit]

Erected circa 1870,[2] it has been ranked as a fine example of the Italian Villa style of architecture.[3] Built with brick walls and elements of wood and stone,[4] it was originally the home of Jacob Lloyd Wayne. Later, the house was sold to Joseph Rawson, who was the president of a local meat packing firm and then the vice-president of the city's First National Bank.[3]

## National Register of Historic Places

[edit]

In 1973, the Rawson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Non-archaeological historic sites in the United States qualify to be listed on the National Register by passing any of three different criteria: significant historical role, relation to a historically significant person, or historically significant architecture.[5] It is possible for properties to meet more than one criterion; the Rawson House fit all three. Five years later, a group of properties along Clifton Avenue were designated a historic district, the Clifton Avenue Historic District;[1] the Rawson House is a contributing property to that district.[6]
