- Saint Paul's Congregational Church was a German Reformed church in Cincinnati. The church was opened in 1850. Around 1883 an organ was built for the church by the firm Koehnken & Grimm. After a merger with the congregation of Saint Peter's Church in 1950, the building was sold to the Church of God. They did not use an organ at the services and had the instrument demolished.
- The church building was used as a church until 1993, but then became vacant. Since January 2015, the building has been completely restored and converted into a brewery with restaurant and café under the name Taft's Ale House.
