Architectural Salvage & Antique Sale Saturday 4/7/2012
Architectural Salvage and Antique Sale
On Saturday, April 7, from 8am to 5pm, members of the Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County will host their first antique and architectural salvage garage sale at 233 Fair Ave NW, New Philadelphia, Ohio.
The saga began in 2010 when the organization opened its Olde House Parts shop in downtown Dover. The architectural salvage shop specialized in old and very old interior and exterior hardware, fixtures and accessories. Customers could find light fixtures, doorknobs, hinges, mouldings, pillars, staircases, windows, latches or sinks, as well as signs, corbels, mantels, gas lights, grates, spindles, drawer pulls, brackets, doors, shutters, and even slate roofing and slabs of marble. Its ever-changing inventory comes strictly from donations.
After a booming start, followed by six months of struggling to staff the shop’s store hours with volunteers during lean winter months, the group opted to close the store and move inventory into storage for further consideration. Later an organization member offered the loan of their garage on Fair Avenue to use for storage and, perhaps, an occasional garage sale. This Saturday will mark the 1st of such sales.
Donations of OLD house parts and antiques are still being accepted. Items that date before 1950 are accepted at this time. Contributions may be tax deductible, as the organization is tax-exempt under IRS Section 501(c)(3).
Proceeds of sales will aid the organization in its mission: The Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the documentation and preservation of the architecturally and historically significant homes, buildings, and neighborhoods of Tuscarawas County. Their mission is to cultivate awareness and appreciation of this part of the local heritage, encourage interest in preserving historic structures within the community, and to educate those who are interested in preservation or are actively involved in the restoration of historically significant structures.

HHA Plant Sale | 2012
Skill in gardening gave Zoar, Ohio one of its most interesting features: the magnificent community garden, which was designed and created with geometric precision. Occupying an entire village square, the garden was planted to symbolize the New Jerusalem described in the twenty-first chapter of The Book of Revelations.
Proceeds of the benefit plant sale will support the Bimeler (fka Baumeler) Museum Restoration in Zoar. Originally built as a residence in
1868, the Museum incurred major damage to its foundation, furnace, water heater and electrical system when its basement was filled with seven feet of water during the flood of 2005, then was flooded again in 2008.The house and furnishings were bequeathed to the Ohio Historical Society in 1942 by Mrs. Lillian Bimeler Sturm, wife of William Bimeler who was a descendent of Joseph Bimeler, a founder of the Society of Separatists of Zoar. A stipulation in her will precludes charging admission to tour the museum. Until the repairs are completed, the museum remains closed. Cost of repairs is estimated at more than $500,000.
It is believed that the village of Zoar never suffered major flood levels and damage until after the construction of Dover Dam, which was originally built to protect factories to its south, many of which no longer exist.
Members and friends are donating perennial plants, shrubs, and trees from their prvate gardens for the sale. You'll find flowering plants such as Daylilies, Siberian Iris, Japanese Iris, American hybrid Iris, Geraniums, Bee Balm, Shasta Daisy, Moonbeam Yarrow, Rose of Sharon, Sundrops, Batista, Camelion,and Cannas, ornamental grasses such as Japanese Blood Grass and Yellow Grasses, Sedum, shrubs and trees including Dragon Willow, White Lilac, and Burning Bush, herbs like Basil, Thyme, and Oregano, and heirloom vegetable plants such as organically grown tomato plants, hot peppers, and climbing beans... AND MORE! If you get there bright and early, you'll also find one-of-a-kind hand-painted clay pots for sale!
Perhaps you, too, have perennials that have claimed more that their fair share of your gardens. HHA is accepting donations of healthy plants, potted appropriately. They should be potted preferably in plastic pots like the ones you buy them in at a nursery or other store and in excellent condition.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Edee.
2012 Annual Meeting
Heritage Home Association Officers Set for 2012
The Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County held its annual meeting and banquet Thursday evening, January 5th, at the historic Reeves Museum Carriage House in Dover. It was a celebration of a successful year, which included the organization’s first annual Plant Sale, its second THAT Old House preservation and restoration workshop for do-it-yourselfers, and the 18th annual Christmas Tour of Homes.
After a recap of the events of 2011 and announcements of upcoming events, officers were elected and the member of the year was announced.
Among events planned for this year are the first Olde House Parts garage sale -- Saturday, March 31, featuring items from the former Olde House Parts architectural salvage shop; the 2nd Annual Plant Sale on Saturday, May 19, which will be staged as a joint effort in Zoar with the Zoar Community Association in continuing support of restoration of the historic Bimeler Museum; a Garden Tour on Saturday, July 14, and the 19th Annual Christmas Tour of Homes on Sunday, December 9.
The board of directors for 2012 will consist of: President Tom Strickling of New Philadelphia, Vice-President Jeff Miller of Dover, Secretary Leslie Wilson of New Philadelphia, Treasurer Rod Kirkendall of Fairfield Township, Plaquing V.P. Jerry Stoughton of New Philadelphia, Public Relations V.P. Patti Strickling of New Philadelphia, Membership V.P. Tod Carper of Dover, Projects V.P. George Laurence of New Philadelphia, Social Activities V.P. Liz Hipp of New Philadelphia, and Program V.P. Marlena Allen of New Philadelphia.
Outgoing president Rod Kirkendall was named member of the year.

HHA Presents Gift for Historic Zoar Museum
July 12, 2011
The plant sale is over. A monumental project remains. Historic Zoar’s Bimeler Museum is in dire need of tender loving care and, perhaps, some tough love.
Estimated cost of restoration of the 1868 building now stands at $700,000+.
In May, Heritage Home Association members and friends held a plant sale with the intent of raising funds toward the repairs. Well over 700 plants were sold in one day, along with assorted hand-painted clay pots and two greenhouses built by the Construction Technology Class at Garaway High School in Sugarcreek, Ohio.
Last night, immediately before the Zoar Community Association Board of Trustees meeting, Edee Kirkendall, event chairperson, and other HHA members presented a check for $2425 to George Kane, Director of Historic Sites and Facilities for the Ohio Historical Society. The contribution will be added to the OHS fund earmarked for restoration of the Bimeler Museum.
Originally built as a private residence in 1868, the Museum incurred major damage to the foundation, furnace, water heater and electrical system when its basement was filled with seven feet of water during the flood of 2005 and then flooded again in 2008.
The house and furnishings were bequeathed to the Ohio Historical Society in 1942 by Mrs. Lillian Ruof Bimeler Sturm, wife of William Bimeler who was a descendent of Joseph Bimeler. Joseph Bimeler was a founder of the Society of Separatists of Zoar. There is a stipulation in her will that no admission be charged to tour the museum. Until the needed funds are raised and restoration is completed, the museum remains closed.
Several other historic buildings in Zoar were damaged by the flooding, as well, including the Zoar Hotel.
Repairs of the Zoar Levee are currently under consideration by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Also being discussed is the possibility of leaving the levee ‘as is,’ which would allow flooding to continue and lead to more extensive damage to historic structures and infrastructure in and around Zoar. In addition, there has been debate over relocating the entire village to a place with higher elevation.
There was no serious flooding problem in Zoar prior to the existence of Dover Dam, as a simple 3-foot stone wall had been constructed by the Zoarites to help keep the Tuscarawas River near its banks. Much later, Dover Dam was built to protect factories to its south that no longer exist, rendering the 3’ stone wall inadequate. The levee was then constructed to protect the village from Dover Dam, which was conceived long after this historic community was established.
In essence, Zoar’s very existence is being debated. Those who would like historic Zoar to survive are encouraged to share their views in the form of a letter to SAVE HISTORIC ZOAR, PO BOX 544, Zoar, Ohio, 44697.
The Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County will hold their benefit plant sale again in the spring of 2012 – in Zoar.
Up Next: THAT Old House
Ahhhh… Home, Crap, Home!
“All right, that's it! I've had it with you! I’ve had it with the house -- and Max, and the orchestra and EVERYTHING! How long will it take to put this house together?!” (Anna Crowley, The Money Pit, 1986)
If you’ve ever tried to fix things around your own house, successful or not, you know how frustrating it can be – especially when it’s an old house, a VERY old house that needs more tender loving care than you could have ever imagined. You also have gotten a taste of how expensive it can be to hire the work done by someone else.
You are not alone.
Those who have persevered the many struggles that come with restoring an old house, a historic house, know that the process can make you laugh, make you cry, make you want to take a wrecking ball to it rather than the more delicate tools required to complete the project at hand.
Tom Strickling and George Laurence will do their best to lighten your burden a bit on Saturday, April 9, from 8am to 5pm in The Tuscarawas County Center for the Arts, New Philadelphia. Strickling is Industrial Arts Technology Instructor at Garaway High School in Sugarcreek. Laurence owns Museum Acrylics, a New Philadelphia company that produces custom acrylic display boxes for museums, businesses, and individuals all over the country. Both have had more than their fair share of experiences in tackling the tough problems of home restoration and maintenance. Both serve as directors for The Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County.
Their topic for instruction at this restoration workshop, will be wall and ceiling repair. Got a wet wall? A cracked ceiling? Worse? Original plaster and lath can be a challenging prospect. Or did somebody punch a hole in your drywall? This dynamic duo has seen it, dealt with it. They know the techniques, materials, and the tricks of the trade, and they will share that knowledge and experience with workshop participants.
Gary Howes of Durable Restoration (Columbus, OH) will offer instruction on masonry and mortar repair, and other workshop sessions will include work with interior coatings and surface preparation by Jim Kopras of Sherwin Williams. Jeff Miller and Carl Mackey will be making their first THAT Old House appearance, offering guidance on various types of flooring repairs. Jeff comes to class with 30+ years as a cabinet maker and woodworker, while Carl, through his company Mission Possible, creates custom furniture and is experienced in most phases of finish carpentry. If you've seen their work, you know their class will be a real treat.
Advance registration is $25 ($35 at the door) and covers participation in all sessions, as well as all workshop materials. Workshop participants will also receive a voucher good for 15% off at Olde House Parts, the architectural salvage shop.
THAT Old House is presented by The Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County, a non-profit Ohio corporation. President Rod Kirkendall said, “This is one of the ways we try to encourage preservation, by offering ways for people to learn about it. This is not a fund-raiser. Eliminating some of the frustration associated with home repairs and restoration through education can go a long way toward maintaining the character and charm of a home, a neighborhood, an entire town or county – as well as the sanity of the homeowner.”

HHA Names Members of the Year January 7, 2011
Members of The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association elected officers and directors for 2011 at their Annual Meeting held at the Reeves Carriage House in Dover on Thursday evening.
Elected were Rod Kirkendall (president), Tom Strickling (vice-president), Leslie Wilson (secretary), Liz Hipp (treasurer), Patti Strickling (public relations), Jerry Stoughton (plaquing), Marlena Allen (programs), Jeff Miller (social activities), Tod Carper (membership), and George Laurence (projects).
In recapping the Association’s year, Kirkendall said, “What a year! In terms of new plaque recipients, we took a breather, as we only awarded one Heritage Home Plaque in 2010, compared with a total of eight plaques (Heritage Home, Historic Marker, and 20th Century Plaque) the previous year, but… as a result of the efforts of a handful of dedicated members, we opened the area’s only architectural salvage shop, Olde House Parts (123 W 3rd St, Suite 101, Dover, Ohio) last fall. The shop is staffed solely by volunteers and inventoried by donations alone. Also, after having agreed to take over the production of Tuscarawas County’s traditional Christmas Tour of Homes from the Dennison Depot Railroad Museum in 2009, our members followed through and did an even better job the second time around. In 2011 we look forward to offering our 2nd preservation and restoration workshop in April (THAT Old House), our first-ever plant sale in May, our 3rd Annual Christmas Tour of Homes and, of course, continuing to develop Olde House Parts.”
George Laurence presented the Association’s Member of the Year award to Carl Mackey (pictured L-R: Carl Mackey, Laurence) for not only coming up with the idea for Olde House Parts, the architectural salvage shop, but for his contribution of time, talent, energy, and materials in making the shop a reality.
Patti Strickling presented a second Member of the Year award – to Robin Mackey (pictured L-R: Patti Strickling, Robin Mackey) – for her tireless efforts as co-chair of the organization’s Christmas Tour of Homes. Said Strickling, “Robin’s commitment and determination to get things done the way we needed them done and when we needed them done is an irreplaceable asset. I don’t know what we’d do without her.”

A New Philadelphia house built circa 1868 by Stephan and Amelia O’Donnell has been unanimously recommended for approval of a Heritage Home Plaque by the plaquing committee of the Heritage Home Association of Tuscarawas County.
The brick Italianate dwelling is home to Darrell Priddy and Pat Russell.
The original owner, Mr. O'Donnell, was president of the Citizens National Bank from 1882-1902. The house was later sold by the O’Donnells to James & Anna Congleton who lived there for over 40 years. Mr. Congleton was the proprietor of the Delphian Hotel and a broom manufacturer.
The 4000 square-foot house had been converted into three apartments, but was restored to its original splendor by the Priddys. The home has 12 rooms with 11-foot ceilings, a wide foyer with open walnut stairway, 5 fireplaces, and leaded glass windows.It is the 44th home to be approved by the committee for receipt of a Heritage Home plaque and will be featured on the Christmas Tour of Homes slated for Sunday, December 12th from noon to 5PM.

TuscHHA - The Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting:
Directors Elected, MOTY Named
Members of The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association elected nine directors for 2010 at their Annual Meeting held on Thursday, January 7, 2010 at the Reeves Carriage House in Dover.
Elected were Rod Kirkendall (president), Tom Strickling (vice-president), Leslie Wilson (secretary), Liz Hipp (treasurer), Patti Strickling (public relations), Jerry Stoughton (plaquing), Marlena Allen (programs), Tod Carper (membership), and George Laurence (projects).
In recapping the Association’s year, Kirkendall said, “Wow! What a year! It was eventful and very productive in terms of furthering our mission as an organization. We presented a record 8 plaques (Historic Markers, Heritage Home and 20th Century Home plaques) for deserving structures in our county, including our first historic barn and the Ragersville Schoolhouse. We presented our first-ever (and the first-ever in Tuscarawas County) preservation and restoration workshop. After agreeing to take over the running of the traditional Christmas Tour of Homes from the Dennison Depot Railroad Museum, our members followed through and did a great job. It was a natural for us. Also during 2009, we achieved a new high water mark in terms of membership, and we were granted federal tax-exempt status by IRS.”
Liz Hipp and George Laurence, both of New Philadelphia (pictured L-R: Laurence, 2008 member of the year Patti
Strickling, president Rod Kirkendall, and Liz Hipp – photo by Edee Kirkendall), were named co-members of the year for their leadership and hard work in the production of THAT Old House, the preservation and restoration workshop for do-it-yourselfers, which was held at the Tuscarawas County Center for the Arts in August. It was a first for the organization and a first for Tuscarwas County. Laurence said, “We’re looking forward to doing it again in the Spring of 2011.”
As for the Christmas Tour of Homes, its 2009 committee chairpersons are open to turning the helm over to some fresh young talent. Come on down!
After dispensing with the evening's business, members and guests enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, desserts, each other's company and stimulating conversation.
We were fortunate to enjoy the company of Gail and Bernie Schreiner, guests of founder Ernestine Kehl. Here they are, pictured with VP Tom Strickling (left) and Plaquing Chairman Jerry Stoughton (right).

CroweHousePlaqued-Bolivar
December 3, 2009
PARK AVENUE HOUSE AWARDED 20th CENTURY PLAQUE
Patrick & Michelle Crowe were presented a 20th Century Plaque by members of The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association for their residence at 432 Park Avenue in Bolivar. The Crowes are the sixth family to reside in the home.
The 10-room brick Colonial Revival house was built between 1903 and 1906 for Earl D. Fisher, a life-long resident of Bolivar who operated an orchard farm begun by his grandfather in 1847. Fisher served as a Bolivar Village councilman and also served on the School Board.
The house features curved windows in the parlor, oak woodwork and floors, four sets of pocket doors, and two staircases. One-inch oak planks sheath the exterior of the structure under the golden salt-glazed brick, which was fired by the Federal Clay Product Company of Mineral City. Considered modern for its time, it was built with indoor plumbing.
The original house plans by Charles B. Hickman of Massillon have been handed down by each owner. The plans were copied from a house that formerly stood in Wooster, Ohio.
The Association’s criteria for determining worthiness for a 20th Century Plaque are essentially the same as those for a Heritage Home, except that it is awarded for architecturally or historically significant homes or other structures built between 1901 and 1925.
To begin to qualify for a 20th Century Plaque, Heritage Home Plaque, or a Historic Marker, the property owner must first submit an application to the Association.

Frys Valley Barn
FRY'S VALLEY BARN AWARDED HISTORIC MARKER
Members of The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association approved the presentation of a Historic Marker for the barn owned by Kerry & Pam Saunders at 1188 Fry’s Valley Road between Tuscarawas and Gnadenhutten, Ohio.
A Historic Marker is awarded for a home or building that has historical significance -- such as a notable person having conducted business there -- without the property having to qualify as a Heritage Home. To begin to qualify for a Historic Marker, 20th Century Plaque, or Heritage Home Plaque, the property owner must first submit an application to the Association.
This, the first barn to be awarded a plaque by the Association, was built in Fry's Valley in 1884 by Frederick J. Haupert on 100 acres he purchased in 1855. The 100 acres was originally patented to Nathan B. Haswell in 1833 by President Andrew Jackson.
The structure is a poplar-sided Sweitzer Forebay barn, a 2 1/2 story bank barn characterized by a cantilevered overhang on the second story. This style was popularized by the German/Swiss immigrants in Pennsylvania. The barn has its original slate roof and its cornerstone (pictured), with Mr. Haupert's name and the date 1884, is intact.
The Kinsey family owned the barn from 1931-2001. The Saunders’ are the 3rd family to own the barn.
The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association is a non-profit Ohio corporation, tax-exempt under IRC section 501(c)(3). The association is dedicated to the documentation and preservation of architecturally and historically significant homes and other structures located in Tuscarawas County. More than 60 Tuscarawas County historic homes and buildings have been awarded Historic Markers, Heritage Home Plaques, or 20th Century Plaques by the Association.

Hipp House is a Heritage Home...
11/22/2009
HIPP HOUSE IS A HERITAGE HOME
Members of The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association voted unanimously to award a Heritage Home Plaque for the residence of David and Elizabeth Hipp on East High Avenue in New Philadelphia.
Liz & Dave purchased the house in November of 1998, and have been working hard to restore it ever since. The Hipps are the 3rd owner of the house since it was built in 1874 by Benjamin P. Scott for his second wife, Emma, who he married in 1873.
Mr. Scott, a native of Washington Co., PA, came to New Philadelphia in 1868, where he first engaged in the hardware business and managed the sale of all salt made in the county. Later he was associated with the Citizen's National Bank, located on the NW corner of the square in New Philadelphia. He served as Vice President, Cashier, and in 1901 as President. He died in 1915.
The 8-room brick Second Empire home boasts 12-foot ceilings on the first floor, 8½-inch molding surrounding the first floor doorways, 12-inch baseboards, and 4 fireplaces. A curved walnut staircase is the focal point of the foyer; arched double pocket doors separate the front parlor from the dining room, and there are some interior shutters. The front porch and porte-cochère, though not original, were added before 1900.
Says Liz, “We reflect back on all the situations we faced, and we can be very thankful we had the privilege to have worked with so many knowledgeable individuals. Most of all we have had the support and encouragement from our friends of The Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association. Many of our TCHHA friends have been with us from the beginning and have seen the transformation this house has gone through. Without them I'm not sure we would have been able to keep up the motivation to complete the house. It's not quite done, but we have gotten through the better part of the work and lived to tell the story.”
The State of Ohio has bragging rights to the largest number of properties of any state in the union listed in the National Register of Historic Places. 23 of those properties are located in Tuscarawas County, and many more have yet to be officially recognized.
