The Taft Museum of Art occupies the Baum-Longworth-Sinton-Taft historic house at 316 Pike Street in downtown Cincinnati, the city's oldest wooden residence still standing in its original location. Built around 1820, the Federal-style manor became a National Historic Landmark in 1976, in part for its entry hall murals painted by Robert S. Duncanson, the first Black American artist to earn an international reputation. The eight large landscapes Duncanson created here are recognized as the most important pre-Civil War domestic murals in the United States. The museum's collection spans over 800 works, including Chinese porcelains, American furniture, and European decorative arts, displayed throughout the historic house.
