These first two rows show the Eucharistic
Congress (Communion) held in and around the Archbishop's Residence in Norwood in
October of 1911. The 2nd and 3rd rows show the Archbishop's residence at 5440
Moeller Avenue, which had just been built that year, (which is why the area
looks so barren in the real photo postcards). The 14 acres were bordered by
Montgomery Road and Drex, Moeller, named after Archbishop Henry Moeller, and
Quatman Avenues. In 1923 Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West was moved here
from Mt. Washington.
Archbishop Henry Moeller had long complained that his residence on
Eighth Street was unhealthy and inadequate. He bought the land in Norwood and
had Samuel Hannaford design his "palace". Although Moeller loved the
Italian Renaissance style mansion, most of his successors preferred not to live
in it. After Moeller died in 1925, the building has been used as a teachers
college and as a part of the seminary. After the school year in 1981 Mount St.
Mary's returned to Mt. Washington. The buildings in the late 80's were unused
and for sale by the Cincinnati Archdiocese. No information on what the land is
used for now.
