Description: Reverse reads: "Probasco Home, see 21,22. Sept. 1937. Cinci., O.)." The Henry Probasco home, known as Oakwood, is located at 430 West Cliff Lane in the Clifton community of Cincinnati, Ohio. Designed by architect William Tinsley, it was built in the Anglo - Norman Romanesque Revival style using beige and golden tan sandstone, set in limestone borders, between 1859 and 1866. Norman arches lead to an impressive stone porch and typical Romanesque floral and geometric designs surround the front entrance. A round tower with an octagonal roof is topped by an intricate weathervane. The mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 9, 1972. Benn Pittman hand carved the main staircase of rare woods and other decorative woodwork, along with Henry Fry, in the architectonic and Ruskinian naturalistic styles. Francis Pedretti painted a fresco on the ceiling of the red cedar paneled library. The Herter Brothers, interior designers, decorated the home originally and again around 1800 when Probasco remarried.
