When it was first opened no girl was allowed to live there if they earned more than $10 a week. The price of room and board varied from $2.75 to $4.50 a week depending on the rooms location and how much the girl made a week. The inn also contained a laundry, a sewing room, and a roof garden. The Union Bethel that was located across 3rd Street was the organization that was responsible for the construction of the building. and the inn was named after the daughter of the principle donors, Mr. and Mrs. Charles P.

  Located at 400 Oak Street this 177 room building was built in 1924 at a cost of $1.5 million. When opened it was for wealthy, retired persons living in luxurious apartments, it also contained hotel rooms and a restaurant open to the public. In 1945 it was considered to be pretty well run down. It was bought by Marge Schott's father-in law Walter Schott. It continued downhill due to racial unrest in the area during the 60's and 70's. It was again sold in 1977. In the 1980's a multi-million dollar restoration once again brought back the hotel to its old glory. It has now been decided to close the hotel at the end of March, 2009 due to "current market conditions."
  Over the years the hotel has hosted many of the nation's most famous celebrities such as Presidents Lyndon Johnson, George Bush Sr. and John F. Kennedy. Some of Hollywood's celebrities have been Judy Garland, Yul Brynner, Jane Fonda, Pete Rose, Sarah Jessica Parker, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, little Richard, The Temptations, Luther Vandross, Emmy Lou Harris, Trisha Yearwood, Charlie Daniels, The Allman Brothers, Sheryl Crow, etc. The cast and crew of the movie "Rainman" including Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise made the Vernon Manor their temporary home while filming in the Cincinnati area in 1988. In the movie, Hoffman's character keeps repeating "400 Oak St." in various scenes.
   The famous anthropologist Margaret Mead resided here annually when she was a visiting professor at the medical school.
   The Beatles stayed at the hotel in 1966, during the band's second trip to Cincinnati. The suite they stayed in had two bathrooms, living and dining rooms, a kitchen and den. Since then it has been known as The Beatles Suite and contains Beatles memorabilia on all the walls with the furniture in Sgt. Pepper colors.
   The swimming pool seen in the last card has long been filled in for use as a parking lot. The building will be converted, in 2010, into office space for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

  Located in the area of Woodford and Robinson Roads in Kennedy Heights. Yononte Inn was started by Anthony J. Bullock, as a summer resort. Built in the 1880s, the sprawling 50 room Queen Anne style building cost $65,000 to build, It was called Yononte after a legendary Miami Indian maiden who, according to legend, had been married on the site. It was located on the eastern rim of the hills above the Norwood trough, overlooking the Little Miami Valley, Madisonville, Oakley, Hyde Park, and Norwood. The inn prospered, attracting the Cincinnati elite. It was the sight of many parties and balls to which the rich and famous, including the Vanderbilts were said to have attended. By 1907 the hotel had outlived its usefulness and, after serving for a time as an exclusive dance hall, closed its doors. It burned to the ground in 1909.
