Licking Riverside Historic District
1 review for Licking Riverside Historic District
On the National Register of Historic Places, this district contains around 150 buildings, including mansions, multi-unit dwellings, row houses and more. The district contains the oldest neighborhood in the area, and its boundaries are the Licking River, 4th St., 8th St. and Scott St.
As you wander around, take note of the many historical plaques along the way, the nice parks, and many interesting statues, including those of Simon Kenton, John James Audubon and Chief Little Turtle. My favorite statue is one seated on a park bench overlooking the River; it's so realistic it's eerie!
Famous houses in the area include those of Daniel Carter Beard (one of the founders of the Boy Scouts), the Thomas Carneal House (Covington's first brick house, also contains a tunnel used to help slaves escape), and the Grant House (once owned by the parents of Pres. Ulysses S. Grant).
Other notable buildings in this area include the Baker Hunt Foundation, the LaSalette Academy, the American Red Cross building and the First United Methodist Church.
