Part 6/7:
Ascending to the upper floor reveals the private quarters of Peter and Laura Thompson. True to the customs of the era, each had their own bedroom—highlighting both personal preference and social propriety. Over the decades, Laurel Court has witnessed a varied history—from private residence to institutional use, and eventually, back to a private home.
A Historic Landmark with Evolving Uses
Beyond the Thompsons’ era, Laurel Court’s storied history continued. It was later repurposed by the Cincinnati Archdiocese and even served as the headquarters for LaRosa’s Pizzeria from 1977 to 1990. Today, it remains a private residence, with owners offering guided tours to showcase its architectural beauty and historical significance.
