Amazing how rural that looks (to me at least) despite being a stone's throw from Cincinnati. Cold Spring and Alexandria (before it exploded in population) feel the same way.

Maybe it's because my family all live on the east side of Cincinnati and Campbell County, KY (Fort Thomas and Cold Spring) but everything west of 75 always felt, for lack of a better word, "foreign."

It is interesting to see such a modern standing seam roof on this historic structure; it is an honest expression of a restoration while not standing out too much.

yes it was! it was a huge, landmark study and we had to briefly interview people. usually we would hit 4 counties per friday trips, sometimes 5. of course it was all set up in advance and the counties are very small. we just made it to all 120 ky counties in two+ semesters.
