History

The Franciscan Friars of St. Leopold Province in the Austrian Tyrol arrived in Cincinnati in 1844. They had been recruited by Archbishop John Baptist Purcell to serve German-speaking Catholics in the Over-the-Rhine area. In 1858 the friars opened St. Franziskus Gymnasium, a high school at Liberty and Vine. It later relocated north of Mt. Healthy and was renamed St. Francis Seminary. [4]

Actor Tom Cruise attended the seminary "for two years in the early 1980s" according to the Columbus Dispatch. [5]

The Winton Place Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic church building in the Winton Place neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States that was constructed as the home of a congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the late nineteenth century. The congregation grew out of a group that was founded in 1856; although the members erected their first building in 1860, they were not officially organized until 1872. Among the leading members of the congregation was Samuel Hannaford, a prominent Cincinnati architect. When the congregation chose to build a new church building in 1884, Hannaford was chosen as the architect for the project. At this time, Hannaford was near to the peak of his prestige: he had ended a partnership with another architect seven years before, and his reputation was growing with his designs of significant Cincinnati-area buildings such as the Cincinnati Music Hall.
