Mount Adams: A History

Mount Adams is Cincinnati's oldest suburb. She was known as Mount Ida in the early 1800s but had a name change in 1843 after a visit from John Quincy Adams. She was home to the Cincinnati Observatory, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Holy Cross Church and Monastery, the Rookwood Pottery, the Mount Adams Inclined Plane Railroad, Pilgrim Chapel, two Catholic schools, one public school and at her peak population in 1910 housed 11,000 people, mostly Catholic families with lots of children.

This book, the first comprehensive history of Mount Adams, traces her history from the late 1700s to the present and introduces the reader to interesting places and people.

Jim Steiner spent eight years writing this book. It was a labor of love for him. The end result is 370 pages chronicling the growth and development of the Hill supplemented by over 320 images in a hard cover format. This book is a must read for local history buffs, people who grew up on Mount Adams, lived there or just visited and fell in love with the place. All proceeds were donated to the Mount Adams Civic Association.

Thanks to everyone who purchased my book, Mount Adams: A History. This book is no longer available for sale on this site. There are still copies available at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Rookwood Mall, The Bookshelf in Madeira, Roebling Point Books in Covington and the Ohio Bookstore downtown. These Mount Adams businesses have a few copies available: The Bow Tie Café, Crowley’s Highland House, Salon Blanc and North Side bank. 
The Cincinnati Public Library also has copies so if you can’t find it anywhere, you can always count on the library to loan you a copy. 
I’m happy to report that with your support, I donated the profits from book sales, $10,000, to the Mount Adams Civic association.
