Carol, According to the Bicentennial Guide to Cincinnati, Lick Run was the area that incorporated a number of Cincinnati vicinity neighborhoods such as Fairmount, Mt. Harrison, Barrsville and Spring Garden. The area that these communities were located in was called Lick Run, after the Lick Run River that ran through this area. In 1870 the area was annexed by Cincinnati. There was a street called Lick Run Pike that also ran through the Fairmount area. Lick Run Pike is now called Queen City Avenue. My great grandfather Jacob Gessert, who was a member of the Board of Public Works, owned a home in Fairmount in the 1870's.
