Description

The Mariemont Story.
Mariemont was a New Town when it was created in 1923, the result of the foresight and a keen interest in people on the part of Mary M. Emery, a well known, public-spirited, Cincinnati widow.The town was not an ordinary real estate development. It was carefully planned by a nationally known leader in the field of planning, John Nolen of Cambridge, Mass. It was rightly called a “National Exemplar in Town Planning”. This hardcover book first published in 1967 and authored by Mariemont Company Village Engineer, Warren Wright Parks, includes maps, early aerial photos and progress pictures.
