An exquisite example of Italian Renaissance architecture and an important piece of history in the city of Cincinnati is pending sale after recently relisting for $650,000. Famed clock maker Frank Herschede of Herschede Hall Clock Co. commissioned Cincinnati architect Samuel S. Godley to design the elegant family residence for his wife, Sadie, and their children. The 8,500 square foot freestone mansion was completed in 1908 and remained in the family until 1952.
