 The home of William Howard Taft, historic site Mt. AuburnMt. Auburn is Cincinnati’s first hilltop neighborhood. It was originally home to wealthy Cincinnatians who wanted to escape the overcrowded, dirty conditions of the city. Home to former president William Howard Taft, the Mt. Auburn Historic District is a National Historic Landmark and Cincinnati’s only National Park site. Houses date from 1819 to the turn of the century and reflect a variety of architectural styles. The Mt. Auburn Incline opened the suburb to the middle class in 1872, allowing for more multiple family dwellings and smaller houses to be built. There are also many mid-sized apartment buildings. Mt. Auburn has a population of 6,447 people, with half of its residents between the ages of 18-30. President: Freeman McNeal
