Police Station No. 5 (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Police Station Five was a historic police station in the West End neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1890s to serve both regular police and the city's patrol service, it was named a historic site in the late twentieth century, but historic designation was unable to save it from destruction.
==History==
Other than Chicago, which formed a patrol service in 1877, Cincinnati was the first city in the United States to establish a horse-mounted patrol service to provide general emergency services. When the first patrol force was formed at the end of 1881, its officers rode in horse-drawn carts that carried medical equipment such as surgical tools and stretchers in addition to police paraphernalia. Besides their responsibilities of supporting the regular police force, patrol officers watched for fires, and horse-mounted patrols provided police service in sparsely-populated parts of the city in which foot patrols were inconvenient. Their services were essential during emergencies, such as the chaos of early 1884: patrol officers rescued those endangered by dangerous Ohio River flooding and sought to maintain order during the courthouse riots. Horse-powered patrols were replaced by patrol cars and motorcycles in the 1910s and 1920s.〔
Originally an English immigrant working lowly jobs for established architects, Hannaford raised himself into public prominence by producing such grand buildings as Music Hall, and the built environments of Cincinnati's wealthier neighborhoods were filled with Hannaford-designed buildings by the end of the nineteenth century.〔Gordon, Stephen C., and Elisabeth H. Tuttle. ''(National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Samuel Hannaford & Sons Thematic Resources )''. National Park Service, 1978-12-11.〕 At the age of 62, Hannaford retired in 1897,〔 one year after the construction of Police Station Five.〔 The station was originally a base for horse-mounted patrols;〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 652.〕 they had previously been based at the former City Stables, and the construction of the new building was mandated by the Stables' poor structural condition. It was also constructed with space for the police.〔Cramer, Adele, and JoAnn Kurlemann. ''(National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Patrol Stations in Cincinnati, Ohio Thematic Resources )''. National Park Service, 1980-05-21.〕 During the twentieth century, the station saw a conversion from simple patrol usage into being the precinct headquarters for the city's fifth police district. It remained in official use until 1957, when a replacement police station opened on Ludlow Avenue,〔 but it remained in city ownership. A contracting firm bought the building from the city in late 1980.〔(City of Cincinnati Ordinance 205-1998 ).〕 City officials hoped to see its preservation and redevelopment, but the new owners sold it in 1984 to another company that demolished the building and replaced it with a parking lot.〔Udris, Andi.
