Excerpt from Suburban Homes for Business Men, on the Line of the Marietta Railroad: A Description of the North-Eastern Suburbs, the Scenery, Soil, Cost of Property, Conveniences of Living, Churches, Schools and Societies
The object of this publication, is to direct the attention of citizens desirous of securing country homes, to the great amount of land awaiting occupation in the North-eastern Suburbs, including Loveland. The recent improvements on the Marietta Cincinnati Railroad, have made these suburbs easily accessible, and the beautiful and healthy country, cheap land and low rates of travel, will, when known, attract a large amount of capital and induce rapid settlement.
To aid the citizen and capitalist to profitably locate, we have given a description of the scenery from various points along the road, the soil, the atmosphere, topography and elevations; the statistics of the churches, schools and societies; the cost of land, building material, fuel, food and labor; monthly fare and freight, and referred to the drives, fishing and skating grounds.
For this information we are indebted to residents in the various villages along the road, but more especially to the following gentlemen: W. W. Peabody, Superintendent of the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad, C. A. Partridge, of the Cincinnati Gazette, G. W. Black, at the Court House, and H. B. Turrell, of Pleasant Ridge. We are also under obligations to our talented artist, Mr. W. R. McComas, who has given so much satisfaction to our subscribers.
