Echo
This 1908 photograph shows the stone castle of soap baron Andrew Jergens, 1852-1929, that greets the corner of Hamilton and Bruce Avenues. The family willed the lot for a park, and it was demolished in 1968. Jergens Park was dedicated on April 26, 1970. The Cincinnati Art Museum received an entire room of the house, the Damascus Room, brought back as a souvenir from Syria by the Jergenses. From the collection of the Public Library of Cincinnati in Hamilton County.
