The architect was James W. McLaughlin, one of the founders of the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. It was built for Sol P. Kineon, a coal and coke dealer, and he lived there from 1885 until 1908. John Uri Lloyd, an author, pharmacist, inventor, and founder of colloidial chemistry, deservedly reached distinction and lived in this home from 1909 until the mid 1930's.

medical system was the only medical system to originate in America), taught at the Eclectic Medical College and the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy, and received several honorary degrees. In 1886, Lloyd and his two brothers went into business in the drug manufacturing industry. His personal library and the library that resulted from this business formed the nucleus of the present Lloyd Library, which in June of 1971 moved into its new building at 917 Plum Street. This library, with over 165,000 volumes, 100,000 pamphlets, and 4000 periodical titles, is known internationally to scholars of botany, pharmacy, and certain aspects of medicine and chemistry.
