Just finished Mike Morgan's Over the Rhine: When Beer Was King.
This book, in conjunction with Zane Miller's Changing Plans for America's Inner Cities: Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine and twentieth-century urbanism will give you a real understanding of how Over the Rhine got to be what it is today & hopefully can shed some light on how to make it live again. Yeah, I know there's more books on the hood but these 2 will go a long way in familiarizing yourself with the subject. Miller's book is out of print but available at libraries & through online book stores but the prices are kinda high nowadays. Morgan's book is brand new & available from all the usual outlets. Morgan's book dedicates almost 2 pages to historic Emmert Grain.
Frances Trollope's Domestic Manners of the American has some goodies about her "Mowhawk Country Home", too.
