This is the first location of St. Therese, established August 15, 1927
 in the building which formerly housed Heidelberg Resort.  The current
St. Therese is built on the same site.

An 1874 magazine, Chic, said that the Heidelberg Garden was a 5 cent trolley ride from Cincinnati, and that proprietor Kettenacker had set it up for families, with swings, bowling alleys, and "Wiedemann's famous Bohemian Beer always on tap."

One visitor's rave review is here.

Bluegrass Avenue was originally designed as an entrance to the Bluegrass Inn, which was at the top of the hill about where the Southgate/Newport line is.  From its construction in 1907-08, to its eventual opening on May 19, 1910, to a fire on Feb. 7, 1915, it was never profitable, and went thru a series of owners, suits and bankruptcies.
