THE HISTORIC PENDLETON
A Bit of Background
The Pendleton Club Building was built in 1891 by the Cincinnati Consolidated Rail Company as a ticket station and washhouse for streetcars. The building served its original purpose until the 1920's when the automobile became the preferred mode of transportation. In 1948, the Cincinnati Recreation Commission purchased the building for use as a recreation facility. Throughout the 1950's and 1960's, the Pendleton was used as a dance hall, primarily for the African American residents in the East End of Cincinnati. Many current and former neighborhood residents delight in telling stories of the dances, wedding receptions, skating parties and other events they attended at the Pendleton. After construction of the Le Blond center in 1974, the city closed down the Pendleton and used it only for storage.
In the 1980's neighborhood activist Dorothy Ellis dreamed of transporting the empty railway depot into a neighborhood center where the community could work together. She met long time friend to the Cincinnati East End, Mike Maloney and the idea for the Pendleton Heritage Center was born.
In 1992 the city of Cincinnati donated the building back to the neighborhood for use as a social, educational, civic, and social service center. Through the volunteer efforts of many residents, friends, and professionals the Pendleton was transformed into a modern community center!
