C. H. Burroughs House
The C.H. Burroughs House is a historic former house in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed at the end of the nineteenth century by one of the city's most prominent architects, the house has been converted into a social club, but it retains enough of its integrity to qualify for designation as a historic site.
==History==
C.H. Burroughs arranged for the construction of the present house in 1888, using land that had formerly been owned by the nearby Lane Theological Seminary. Its design was produced by Samuel Hannaford,〔 a prominent Cincinnati architect. The Burroughs House is one of many surviving Hannaford houses that were built in some of Cincinnati's most prestigious neighborhoods, including Walnut Hills, Clifton, and Avondale. Many of Hannaford's designs were constructed in such neighborhoods because of the architect's reputation:〔 he was known for insisting on the highest quality materials and workmanship and for his willingness to design structures in many popular architectural styles.〔 As a result, his designs gained great favor among many of the great men of politics and business in Gilded Age Cincinnati.〔 Located in Walnut Hills, the house is owned by the Cincinnati Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, a group of social clubs for black women. The organization purchased the property in 1925 in order to have space in which they could meet without fear of race-based exclusion; they took more than twenty years to pay the mortgage in full, but the house quickly became a subject of pride for the members. Members use the house to host community functions, including charitable events to mentor children and to bring elderly adults together with older children.〔
