The Residence of Capt. Philip Rothenbush
During the Battle of Chickamauga, one of the Civil War’s most significant engagements, Capt. Rothenbush sustained three separate wounds. In honor of his sacrificial service, a historic residence was built for his family, commemorating his bravery and dedication.
After returning to Southwest Ohio, Capt. Rothenbush became a respected businessman, opening his first store in 1868 at the corner of Front and High Streets. His leadership and reputation were so well-regarded that The Republican-News once wrote:
There is no man in Hamilton better known or more respected than Captain Philip Rothenbush.
Today, Fox & Ziepfel, LLC is honored to serve clients from this historic space, a structure built in tribute to an inspirational Ohioan and American. More than just an office, it stands as a living testament to Capt. Rothenbush’s enduring legacy of service, leadership, and commitment to the community and our country.
Fox & Ziepfel attorneys serve on nonprofit boards of directors, community improvement corporations, port authorities, and lead nonprofit organizations that shape the fabric of communities we live inand serve.

By getting our hands dirty on a grassroots level, our attorneys work tirelessly to make a positive difference that outlives the length of our legal careers. We want to leave every area of the world around us far better than we found it, whether that be our clients’ future or our community’s future.
