Drawing of Glendale around 1860. Sketches and Statistics of Cincinnati in 1851 by Charles Cist GLENDALE. This is a village, and once a series of fine farms, amounting in the aggregate to five hundred and sixty-five acres. It is situated on the line of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, and twelve miles from our own city. The property has been purchased by a joint-stock company of thirty persons, who propose, after selecting their own lots out of the premises, to lay off the residue into building lots of various sizes, confining their sales to actual residents, at least for the summer season, and of a description of persons who will be desirable neighbors to each other. A series of improvements are in progress, which will make Glendale a delightful residence. An artificial lake of four acres surface, and seventeen feet depth, has been created, by running a dam three hundred feet long just below four or five permanent and abundant springs ; which will secure inexhaustible supplies of water for washing and bathing. Glendale will be a station for wooding and watering, and passengers and freight for the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton railroad. An arrangement will be made to establish regular morning and evening trains to and from Cincinnati, in addition to the through trains. This will afford unrivaled facilities to accommodate the dwellers at Glendale. There will be three hundred lots or more, laid out, for future purchasers. © 2008-2010 ADigitalHistory
