The Bernard H. Moormann House is a historic residence in eastern Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1860 in the Italianate style,^[1] it is one of the most significant buildings in the neighborhood of East Walnut Hills.^[2]

By 1860, Bernard Moormann had established himself as one of Cincinnati's leading dry goods merchants. Choosing to build a new house in East Walnut Hills, he selected a two-and-a-half-story design built of brick. Except for a small ell on the western side of the rear, it is a simple rectangle in shape. Measuring five bays wide, the south-facing front of the house features such elements such as varied shapes of windows and an archway around the front door, plus ornamented lintels around the second-floor windows. Surrounding the front entrance is a small porch with multiple columns, and sheltering the entire house is a large detailed cornice at the level of the attic.^[2]

Both before and after Moormann's residence in the house, it experienced few changes: into the late twentieth century, it was one of the best remaining examples of nineteenth-century residential architecture reminiang in Cincinnati's more suburban neighborhoods.^[2] Because of its place as an example of leading local architecture,^[3] the Moormann House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[2]
