The (Cincinnati) Evening Post , May 1889
"THE NEWEST OF CINCINNATI'S MANY SUBURBS,
ELSMEREThis is a tract of 160 acres, surrounded by North Walnut Hills, Ivanhoe, South Norwood and Oakley, and is better known as the old Cavagna Farm. At present there is nothing on this property save many handsome forest trees, four rustic-appearing dairy barns and a 13-room brick house of ancient architecture. The latter will be the only mark left by which those who visited the Cavagna Farm years ago will know the place three months hence.Although the property was only sold on the 13th of February last to the ELSMERE SYNDICATE, with a capital of $320,000, to-day men and teams are busily engaged grading streets, under the supervision of that able Engineer, M. D. BURKE. To Mr. Burke's engineering talent is due the disappearance of many of the unsightly hills around Cincinnati, which have by him been shaped into suburbs where now reside thousands of Cincinnati's best people and we give the readers of this advertisement the benefit of his judgement regarding the latest ELSMERE addition to Cincinnati. He says that as one tract of 100 acres it is the best lying land, suseptible of the best drainage, that he has ever surveyed in Hamilton County. There will be expended in streets and building improvement on this property over $150,000 during the year 1889. ELSMERE is accessible by the OHIO & NORTHERN-WESTERN RAILWAY, which will be running into Court Street Depot on standard gauge track after April 15th, and the popular C.,L.&N. RAILWAY to Ivanhoe Station, and four months from now KERPER'S ELECTRIC ROAD will be in operation within two minutes' walk of the property. At present it is only ten minutes' walk from Kerper's Walnut Hills Cable, and as a drive it is only 25 minutes' from the Cincinnati Postoffice. With all these advantages we can only bespeak for ELSMERE a bright future."
