Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: The original description reads: "Fleischmann's Gardens-This view shows the lily pool at Fleischmann's Gardens, which was the original site of the home of the Fleischmann family, of yeast-manufacturing fame. These botanical gardens, which were donated to the City of Cincinnati by the heirs of the Fleischmann estate, are noted locally for their seasonal display of tulips and dahlias. Location: Forest and Washington Avenues, Avondale". This four-acre park features beautifully landscaped gardens and the largest ginkgo tree in the state. On the site of the home of Charles Fleischmann, founder of the Fleischmann Yeast Company, the park was given to the city in 1925 by his heirs and expanded in 1976. The Washington Avenue entrance is marked by ornamental iron gates topped with an old-fashioned gaslight fixture. A stone path flanked by holly trees leads down steps to an evergreen maze.
