The house lies within the City of Cincinnati limits in a little niche in the northeast corner of Delhi Township in Hamilton
County, Ohio. It receives all public services from the city, including trash removal and street maintenance.
In regards to voting, the house lies within voting precinct 25-H, District 1 of the US House of Representatives, District
31 of the Ohio House of Representatives, and District 9 of the Ohio Senate. The polling place is usually at St. William
Catholic Church on the corner of W. 8th St. and Sunset, but this is not always the case. It is always a good idea to
just double-check the Hamilton County Board of Elections/Polling Locations page.

And even if you are not Catholic, children of all backgrounds are welcome to enroll at any of the schools. All four
schools are also participants in the Ohio EdChoice scholarship program.
