====Isaac Mayer Wise==== In the latter part of the nineteenth century, North College Hill was the home of Dr. [[Isaac Mayer Wise]], who has been called “the most prominent Jew of his time in the United States”<ref>Adler, Cyrus and Philipson, David, "[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=214&letter=W Isaac Mayer Wise],” ''Jewish Encyclopedia.com''. Retrieved on 3/30/2008.</ref> for his influence as one of the early leaders of [[Reform Judaism]] in America. In 1861, Wise and his wife Therese bought a house and {{convert|42|acre|m2|adj=on}} farm near the current intersection of Goodman and Hamilton Avenues, where they raised a family of ten children.<ref>Fine, John S. and Krome. Frederic J., ''Images of America: Jews of Cincinnati'', Arcadia Publishing, 2007.</ref> Wise added to the original farmhouse until it included 13 rooms on various levels. The farm, meanwhile, allowed him to carry out agricultural experiments and to enjoy the opportunity to own his own land.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=g9vJrsMSnEQC&dq=%22isaac+mayer+wise%22+%22north+college+hill%22&pg=PA500 ''Cincinnati: A Guide to the Queen City and Its Neighbors''], The Wisen-Hart Press, 1943, pp. 500-501.</ref> A park near the site of his former farm was dedicated to Wise. In 2022, the park was renovated and re-dedicated.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.northcollegehill.org/336/2022-Wise-Park-Renovation|title=2022 Wise Park Renovation|work=North College Hill website|access-date=September 4, 2022}}</ref>
