Classic Covington
The historic architectural styles of Covington, Kentucky
Over the next several months, we will be highlighting different types of architectural styles found in Covington. There are a wide variety of styles from the very ornate large Victorian homes, to the more subtle detailing of the art modern. Each month, we will describe a different style and showcase some great examples of the style from Covington's own buildings. I hope you enjoy learning about these and that as you walk though the streets of Covington you will be able to pick out the different styles!
Arts & Crafts c. 1905 - c. 1930
Based on an intellectual style developed in England as a reaction to Victorian excess, the American Arts & Crafts (or Craftsman) style instead was a wide-spread response to the middle-class need for affordable and attractive homes.
Several important architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright and the Greene Brothers, did herald the movement in America, but it was primarily due to the publications of furniture maker Gustav Stickley, that the style was brought to middle America. His magazine, The Craftsman, was first issued in 1901 and through the ensuing fifteen years, Stickley brought not only his furniture designs to the American public, but also over two hundred house plans aimed at the middle class. It was Stickley's intention that these small, functional homes use materials readily available locally, and that all ornament be a reflection of the construction methods and materials used.
The Bungalow became the most popular house form of this style. It can be described as a low, one or one-and-one-half story building with a prominent roof and overhanging eaves. A long front porch, often with stone or wood piers is typical.
Interesting facts about Arts and Crafts Revival:
Arts and Crafts style is often also called Mission Style
The Arts and Crafts movement concentrated heavily upon the craftsmanship on the interior of the building and are usually accentuated with detailed interior and exterior carpentry.

About National Fire Prevention Month
Each year, the campaign focuses on a different aspect of safety, from preventing forest fires to planning an escape route during a blaze. While the campaign lasts the entire month, most police and fire departments designate the second week of October as Fire Prevention Week, during which demonstrations and expos are held in different U.S. cities.
Sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Fire Prevention Month has roots that date back to The Great Chicago fire of 1871 that killed more than 250 people and left more than 100,000 homeless. The fire, which was reportedly started in a barn, also burned more than 2,000 acres and destroyed about 17,400 structures. The three-day fire, which started October 8, did most of its damage on October 9, 1871, which is why Fire Prevention Week is always held around that date. The first National Fire Prevention Day was declared by President Woodrow Wilson in 1922, and the week-long observance is the longest running public safety and health campaign on record.
In 2000, the NFPA extended Fire Prevention Week to include the entire month of October, and entities such as public libraries, schools and utility companies joined in to spread the word not only about fire safety and prevention, but overall personal safety.

Neighborhood Awareness: The Key To Crime Prevention
The Covington Police Department is asking the public to remember that being a good neighbor can be one of the best crime prevention tools. This is particularly true at this time of the year when various criminals and con artists use the warm weather to take advantage of the elderly. Watchful eyes in the neighborhood can spot criminals and alert police and the community to their presence.
Spring is the time when "deception burglars" reappear in this region. Typically these are criminals are on the move and only remain in an area for a short period of time before moving on. Nationally, burglary investigators find that "deception burglars" begin working in the southern states in the early part of the year and head northward during the spring and summer months.
Deception burglars generally work in pairs. One member approaches the victim, pretending to be someone benevolent: perhaps a contractor looking for work or a utility worker out to test a system. The criminal may also pose as a family friend of a relative, or the friend of a neighbor. While that criminal distracts the victim, another moves through the house, seeking out valuables. Often the victim doesn't even know he or she has been victimized for hours or days.
Other criminals are con men, posing as contractors, who convince victims something is wrong with their home. They ask for payment in cash, do a shoddy job, and then disappear.
The elderly are the most likely targets of these criminals, since they tend to be trusting, and very concerned about their property, their relatives and their neighborhood.

The Gourmet Strip: Dining, Entertainment & Gambling
October 17, 2009 - January 10, 2010
Before Newport on the Levee, Florence or Crestview Hills developed as centers of dining and entertainment in Northern Kentucky, there was the Gourmet Strip. This mystical stretch of Dixie Highway from Covington through Florence was known for its wonderful dining establishments like the White Horse Tavern and the Greyhound Grill, first-class entertainment presented at the Lookout House and of course illegal gambling. The Behringer-Crawford Museum celebrates this dynamic time in Northern Kentucky's history in its newest exhibit, "The Gourmet Strip: Dining, Entertainment & Gambling."
This exhibit explores the famous and not-so-famous eateries and clubs that ran along Dixie Highway and will display the famous White Horse from the White Horse Tavern (one of the few objects rescued from the ruins of the restaurant's original location), gambling paraphernalia from the Lookout House and other locations as well as a display dedicated to the various breweries and beers sold at Gourmet Strip establishments.

2010 Census is Coming - And this time it's fast and easy!
ONLY 10 Questions, 10 Minutes to Complete!
With one of the shortest questionnaires in history, the 2010 Census asks for name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship, and whether you own or rent your home. It takes only about 10 minutes for the average household to complete.
Why fill out the census form?
Every household in the country will receive a questionnaire in 2010. To ensure an accurate and fair count of all populations at all geographic levels in the nation, the Census Bureau needs you or someone in your household to respond to the census questionnaire.
It's important. - Census data affect funding for your community, your community's representation in Congress and your community leader's planning decisions.
It's easy. - The census questionnaire takes only a few minutes to answer and return by mail.
It's confidential. - Your responses are protected by law (Title 13, U.S. Code, Section 9). All Census Bureau employees have taken an oath to protect confidentiality and are subject to a jail term, a fine - or both - for disclosing any information that could identify a respondent or household. More info...
It's required by law. - The information you provide is combined with responses provided by your neighbors and other households across the country, to provide summary statistical data that are used by various local, state and federal agencies.
Census affects funding in your community
Census data directly affect how more than $300 billion per year in federal and state funding is allocated to communities for neighborhood improvements, public health, education, transportation and much more. That's more than $3 trillion over a 10-year period. Spending just a few minutes to fill out your census form will help ensure your community gets its fair share of federal and state funding.
Census affects your voice in Congress
Mandated by the U.S. Constitution, the census is also used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and to redistrict state legislatures.
Census affects your representation in state and local government
Census data are used to define legislature districts, school district assignment areas and other important functional areas of government.
Census informs your community's decisions
The census is like a snapshot that helps define who we are as a nation. Data about changes in your community are crucial to many planning decisions, such as where to provide services for the elderly, where to build new roads and schools, or where to locate job training centers.
