Lillybanks is a historic stone residence in eastern Cincinnati, Ohio, built in 1926 by architect John Scudder Adkins. This two-and-a-half-story Tudor Revival mansion exemplifies the style through its gabled roof, ornamental stonework, wall dormers, and stone mullions, while its hilltop location behind walls reinforces the architectural isolation characteristic of Tudor Revival estates. The house follows an elongated rectangular floor plan and features a slate roof. Originally home to Philip Swing, a lawyer in the Hamilton County courts, and his wife Bessie—both descended from prominent Clermont County legal families—Lillybanks was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its historically significant architecture.
