Sometimes you can get a detailed listing of property transfers through the years. I have found a lot of ancestral homes here. HOWEVER, I'm not sure what's available for structures no longer there or whose land has been attached to another address. So anyway, when I tried your addresses (2507-2515) there was nothing there: there is no odd numbered address in the 2500 block any more. It took me some playing around, but what I did was find a 2510 which would be across the street (parking garage). Looking at the map view of 2510, I got the parcel number for a building across the street which also faces Calhoun Street-- it's a gas station whose address is officially on Calhoun. The site has some of the property transactions for this location-- the bit I found was all commercial but there may be more there. So anyway, you might want to check out this site. Poke around a bit-- things seem to be put in different places in different ways and the more you look, the more information there seems to be, but it requires some looking in un-obvious places. Other than that you might wish to contact the Cincinnati Historical Society to see what their collection has. Hope this is of some help. You've gotten me curious about the building. I'd like to see pictures of it, too. Juliann
