The John Hauck House
812 Dayton Street
The elegant, stone-fronted Hauck townhouse on Dayton Street’s “Millionaire’s Row,” was built circa 1870 for coal dealer George W. Skaats. The house was then purchased in the 1880s by beer baron John Hauck, whose brewery was located a block away. The sumptuous Victorian interior is filled with exquisite murals, wood trim and plasterwork. See the full homeowner’s history below.
In 2023, Cincinnati Preservation once again calls the John Hauck House home as a Preservation Homebase. With offices located on the second floor, the first floor is a Preservation Library and Resource Room.
