I've been interested in local history and other Cincinnati-related articles.

I've organized local Wikipedia events for Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art and Wikipedia 10 in Cincinnati.

I'm also interested in Hackerspaces and the surrounding movements and I'm a co-founder of my local hackerspace Hive13.

Photos I've taken appear in these articles:

In August 2007 the old Bond Hill Branch (on Dale Rd.) and the old Roselawn Branch (on Reading Rd.) were closed and merged into the new Bond Hill Branch (in Jordan's Crossing on Reading Rd.).

copied from http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/branches/roselawn.html "The Roselawn Branch opened for business in November, 1951. At that time, it was located in the Roselawn Center Building on Section Road. Approximately ten years later, the branch was expanded to twice its original size and a separate children's room was added to the facility. In July 1972, the Roselawn Branch relocated to larger quarters in the Valley Shopping Center." <-- not sure if that's permitted

old East End Branch - opened 1906, (closed when?), changed into a community center in 1993 http://www.columbiatusculum.org/ctcarnegie.aspx; was designed by Samuel Hannaford.

Cincinnati had 9 Carnegie libraries. Currently 7 are still in use as library branches: Avondale, Corryville, Hyde Park, Northside, Norwood, Price Hill, Walnut Hills http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/freepublic/carnegie.html

one of the original 9 carnegies burned down according to http://www.cincypost.com/news/1999/carn101199.html

Hannford started his career working with Edwin Anderson (architect). The Workhouse was their biggest job together. (List taken from http://www.samuelhannaford.info/hanander2.htm)

Hannford worked with Edwin Procter on a number of buildings, most notably Music Hall. The partnership was dissolved before Music Hall was finished.
