REES E. PRICE

Rees E. Price, the son of a Welsh merchant and the man for whom Price Hill is named, invested in land west of the Mill Creek, where he built a brickyard and a sawmill and laid out a subdivision. He married Sarah Matson, daughter of Judge Matson, for whom Matson Place is named. Their sons, John and William Price, built the Incline Plane in 1874.

By the time Rees Price died in 1877, Price Hill had become a thriving community. The Incline brought thousands of newcomers to the area and Price Hill was praised as Cincinnati’s most popular and distinctive suburb. Today, Rees Price, the namesake of Price Hill, is also remembered in the name of Rees E. Price Academy, located on Considine Avenue.
