September

.
Conservatory
of
Music
.
Highland
Avenue
and
Oak
Street
,
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
". The
Cincinnati
Conservatory
of
Music
was
founded
in
1867
by
Clara
Baur
and was the
first
music
school
in the
city
.
It
was
part
of a
girls’
finishing
school
known
as
Miss
Nourse’s
School
for
Young
Ladies
. The
opening
of the
College
of
Music
of
Cincinnati
in
1878
was a
serious
blow
to the
Conservatory
but
Miss
Baur
was
able
to
recruit
some
first
rate
faculty
which
enabled
the
school
to
compete
with
its’
neighbors
. The
school
began
to
thrive
requiring
several
moves
to
accommodate
their
growing
needs
. In
1902
, the
Conservatory
moved
to the
former
Handy
/
Shillito
Mansion
on the
corner
of
Highland
Avenue
and
Oak
Street
in
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
. The
Shillito
Mansion
,
designed
by
J.W
.
McLaughlin
for
merchant
John
Shillito
was
finished
in
1866
and
is
sometimes
referred
to as
being
in the
Elizabethan
Renaissance
style
.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
were
invested
during
this
time
for
additional
housing
and
other
facilites
to be
built
on the on the
five
acre
grounds
.
Samuel
Hannaford
and
Sons
were
hired
to
design
an
additional
five
story
building
south
of the
mansion
,
which
contained
classrooms
,
offices
and
housing
. An
auditorium
was also
built
to the
east
of the
main
building
during
this
time
.
Much
attention
was
given
to the
permanency
of these
buildings
, not
only
in
safety
and
sanitary
qualities
, but also in
regards
to
soundproofing
and
aesthetic
qualities
.
Between
1910
and
1911
another
addition
was
added
,
built
in
brick
in the
Jacobean
style
, to
provide
more
dormitories
and
classrooms
.
During
the
next
twenty
years
,
several
surrounding
buildings
were
purchased
as the
school
continued
to
grow
, and
it
eventually
covered
ten
acres
of
land
. With the
death
of
Clara
Baur
in
1912
, her
niece
Bertha
Baur
took
over
direction
and in
1930
gave
the
Conservatory
to the
Cincinnati
Institute
of
Fine
Arts
,
turning
it
into a
non-profit
organization
. In
1955
The
College
of
Music
and the
Conservatory
of
Music
merged
and
became
the
Cincinnati
College
–
Conservatory
of
Music
and in
1962
joined
the
University
of
Cincinnati
.
Sometime
after
this, the
building
was
demolished
, but
more
information
is
needed
as to the
exact
date
.
