Camp Washington, Cincinnati
Camp Washington is a city neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. It is located north of Queensgate, east of Fairmount, and west of Clifton and University Heights. The community is a crossing of 19th century homes and industrial space, some of which is being converted into loft apartments.[1]
During the U.S.–Mexican War Camp Washington was an important military location, training five-thousand, five-hundred and thirty-six soldiers who went to war. Camp Washington was annexed to the City of Cincinnati in November, 1869.[2]
This neighborhood is also the location of National Register buildings, including the Oesterlein Machine Company-Fashion Frocks, Inc. Complex and the old Cincinnati Workhouse (designed by Samuel Hannaford), which was destroyed and rebuilt to serve as a drug rehabilitation center. The neighborhood has been home to the award-winning Cincinnati chili parlor, Camp Washington Chili for more than 50 years.[3][4][5]
