Pine Meer
Pine Meer, built in 1922-1924, is a historic site located in Green Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. It received national exposure when it was the subject of a reality series that aired on TBS in late 2004 known as ''The Mansion''. In reference to the original owners, the property is known locally as the "Schott Estate." Its address is 5336 Cleves Warsaw Road, Cincinnati, Ohio.
==Architecture==
Pine Meer was built for William Charles (Wm. C.) and Lucia Riedlin Schott.〔''History of Southwest Ohio: The Miami Valleys'', Volume III, on Family and Personal History (New York and West Palm Beach: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1965), page 363.〕 The buildings were designed by the firm of Rendigs, Panzer and Martin, one of Cincinnati's leading architectural firms during the second quarter of the 20th century.〔Walter E. Langsam, ''Description of Pine Meer for the Delhi Historical Society'', 2004.〕 The main house "is a distinctive example of the Tudor Revival architecture embodying the architectural details associated with the style. It is characterized by its random ashlar stone and half timber stucco wall treatment, multi-paned and grouped window treatments, decorative sandstone trim, large wall dormers and gable ends, Tudor arch detail, polychromic slate roof and decorative chimney treatment."〔Editorial Staff, ''Ohio Historic Places Dictionary'', Vol. II, State History Publications, LLC, pg. 649.]〕 A unique feature of the home is the front terrace onto which the primary rooms on the first floor open. The main entry doors, opposite the side fronting the pond and street, were set back through a rather low cabled porch to set itself apart from the nearby service entrance. (During the TBS show "The Mansion" this entrance was modified and brought forward by enclosing the porch area.) Situated behind the main house is a carriage house, which has similar rough-stone as the main house on the first floor, but includes yellow brick on the sides and rear. It is dramatized by a pair of acutely angled gables at the ends along with vivid half-timbered patters. This structure contained a four car garage adjacent to a visi-bowl gas pump on the ground level and a servants quarter on the upper level. The lower rear level served as a barn with stalls to house animals, facing what was formerly fenced pastureland, and equipment/workshop rooms.
The interior architectural detail of the main house "further articulates the Tudor Revival style through the use of Tudor arched doorways and fireplaces, Tudor and Jacobethan ceiling detail and paneled wall treatments."〔 It originally had 13 rooms, and 4.5 bathrooms, including a "sunken" music room, which enlarged the ceiling heights, with a built-in organ that could play music scrolls. There was also a screened bedroom porch off the main bedroom. (But it was enclosed by a later owner.) The house also contained a large attic, adjacent to the former servants quarters, with shed-roof dormers as well as a basement with laundry room, card room and wine cellar. The driveway entrance is flanked by rough-stone gateposts topped by carved pineapples, which in turn are flanked by shorter stone piers connected by horizontal slate "rooflets" over curved arches with wrought-iron grills. There was a bench and brass plaque that said "Pine Meer" on the left gate post and a plaque that said Wm. C. Schott on the right gate post. The long driveway branches into a circle between the two buildings along with a drive extending to the back of the carriage house.
