Located in the historic Mount Auburn section of Cincinnati, this two story brick house is the birth place and boyhood home of the only person to serve both as President (1909-1913) and Chief Justice (1921-1930). Although the Taft house is simple in design with remarkably plain detailing, the interesting cornice give it an Italianate style feeling. The front portion was built about 1840 and Alphonso Taft added the rear portion in 1852. The Taft house was restored in 1988 by the National Park Service.
Look for Casper, our black cat mascot, looking for a cozy spot to take an afternoon nap.
It can set neatly on a shelf, desk or narrow ledge such as window, door trim, or wainscoting. Group it with other Cat’s Meows to create your own little Village!
We handcraft this replica from 3/4" thick wood with colorful details on the front and its story on the back. Proudly made in Ohio.
