Oyler House: Anchoring a Community of Change
In early January, the Community Learning Center Institute opened its doors to Oyler House, a community center aimed to support Lower Price Hill residents in every aspect of life and community. The Oyler House builds on a vision decades in the making, with the premise that for a neighborhood to thrive, it needs an anchor institution through which it can flow. For one community, that anchor began with a school with an uncertain future.
The restored home that sat vacant for more than 17 years has emerged as a symbol of a new era for this historic riverfront community with a proud Urban Appalachian heritage.
