Description: Washington Ave. at Forest Ave., Avondale neighborhood, Cincinnati. Once home to Charles Fleischmann, yeast magnate and father of Cincinnati mayor Julius Fleischmann, Fleischmann Gardens is a four-acre park, designed in part by landscape architect A. D. Taylor. The Fleischmann family donated the park to the city of Cincinnati in 1925; the park was expanded in 1976. Charles Louis Fleischmann, born 1835 Krnov, Moravia, emigrated to the United States in 1865. Unimpressed with the quality of bread being produced in Cincinnati, he and his brother Maximilian originated the mass-production of yeast in America. Fleischmann eventually became the top world producer of yeast, the second-largest producer of vinegar, and the US' largest commercial gin producer. Reverse reads: "Cinci., O., Sept. 1937 Fleischmann Gardens" View on Ohio Memory.
