Description: Cincinnati, OHIO - Hotel Alms - MULTIVIEW: In 1891, Frederick Alms built a large apartment building on McMillan, just across Elmwood Place (later renamed Alms Place, now Victory Parkway) from his palatial home. He intended the place as a residence for families who “could have the fine air of a hill-top.” The new property also shared with his residence the magnificent view down the ravine (since filled in by Victory Parkway), beyond Francis Lane and past the Emery mansion Edgecliff to the Kentucky hills in the distance. In about 1894 Frederick Alms styled the building as the Hotel Alms. The distinctions among apartments with services, residential hotels, and what were then called “transient” hotels for short-term visitors were considerably more fluid at the time than they are today. The Alms seems always to have filled all three roles, serving as a permanent address for some residents. Indeed, after Frederick’s death in 1898, Mrs. Alms took a fantastic apartment in the hotel. It also played many of the other roles usually associated with the large downtown hotels – banquet facilities and meeting rooms accommodated large local events including, on occasions, fundraisers hosted by the proprietor for favorite charities.
