The Kings Lodge was founded by Marcellus and Alice Owen in 1937. This Black-owned lodge began as a farm and overtime, expanded into a hotel. It became a year-round vacation resort offering seasonal activities, mineral springs, a swimming pool, game room, lounge and restaurant, located on their 300 acres of beautiful woodlands. Mr. Owen wanted it to be known that his hotel was “fit for a king” and its name reflected that.

It remained in the Owens family for three generations. After closing, it operated as the Betty Shabazz Holistic Retreat Center until 2001. Located in Otisville, New York. Photos by Julia Wertz

Spring scene painting class

At the end of this past May, I had another painting class at Owensville Carnegie Public Library. It was for a Spring scene painting class. I had a great turnout. I’ve mentioned before when I had a class here last fall, that the set up is just ideal for teaching a painting class. There’s a sink, decent lighting, and a good size room. Plus, it has the most important part which is people that want…

Pfarr Log House (Wiederhold Log House)

Olive Branch-Stonelick Rd.

Owensville, OH

The Pfarr Log House is a log cabin located near the village of Milford in rural Clermont County, Ohio. Built in the early nineteenth century, it provides a pivotal representation of the area's earliest built environment, and it has been named a historic site. In 1837 it was purchased by Pierre Charley from Samuel Davis, but the cabin is known primarily as a property of the Pfarr family because it was purchased by George Pfarr in late 1840 as part of a 21-acre homestead, and it remained in the Pfarr family until it was sold to James Wiederhold in 1976. George, a butcher and farmer, immigrated from Bavaria with his wife and three children, and the property was actively farmed until the 1960s by his children and grandchildren.

Although primarily a log building, the house rests on a stone foundation; the roof is metal, constructed with a very shallow pitch from the edge to the peaks of the gables. The structure is one and a half stories tall with walls built of square-cut timbers, rather than unhewn logs. The joints between the timbers feature a construction method known as "steeple notching", which was often employed in buildings constructed before 1825. Comparatively little is known of the house's early history before 1825; a precise date of construction has not been established, and the builder's name is similarly unknown. A newer farmhouse was built next to the cabin in the early 1900s, and when the Pfarrs expanded this newer residence, the cabin was moved in 1910 to make room.

On September 16, 1977, the Pfarr Log House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; despite having been moved in 1910, it qualified because of its historically significant architecture. The location given by some sources is west of Owensville on Olive Branch-Stonelick Rd., but it is said that the log cabin on Olive Branch Stonelick Rd is a completely unrelated structure built by Mr. Damm as part of his pay lake in the early 1930's from logs harvested from the surrounding property. Other sources give the location as southeast of Milford on Shayler Run Rd. It has been noted that the associated pictures are not of the Pfarr Log Cabin. They are pictures of the other log cabin that is near the location of the Pfarr Log Cabin. The Pfarr Log Cabin has since been removed from this location.

“A Decorated Gypsy Caravan in America” , 1958

BY JOSEPH D. JESENSKY

THE elaborately decorated caravan depicted in Mr. Barnhill's photographs facing the next page was accidentally dis covered by him while on a motor trip in southern Ohio . Mr. Barnhill , besides being a professional photographer is also an expert on the woodworking and native craftsmanship of our Appalachian Mountain folk in America . He recognized at once the unusual artistry of this vardo .According to the Dayton Daily News Camerica , ' of Sunday , July 16 , 1950 , it was the property of a Mr. and Mrs. Bullock of Owensville , Ohio , who exhibited it outside their amazing country store of antiques and curiosities of fifty years ago . Hearing that this ancient wagon , which was reputed to have belonged to a Gypsy ' Queen , ' was for sale at Douglasville , Pa . , Veronica and Flavius Bullock bought it , and then took a cattle truck to fetch this unique treasure back to Owensville , the wife driving it the 600 odd miles herself because she would not trust so precious a cargo to anyone else .It still stands there in Owensville along with other ancient vehicles such as an old American Prairie Wagon , and an old Western Stage Coach forming a permanent exhibit feature of the famous Bullocks ' Country Antique Store .Despite numerous enquiries on my part , I have failed to obtain any information as to the name of the original Gypsy owner of the caravan , or even of the clan to which this alleged ' Queen is supposed to have belonged . But in the considered opinion of Mr. F. G. Huth , the Society's expert on English Gypsy Caravans ( see JGLS . ( 3 ) xix . 117-146 ) , this is a genuine vardo which was definitely built in Britain some fifty years ago or more . The following is his detailed report :.' This wagon is NOT the work of a Gypsy but of some recognized caravan builder in Great Britain . It must be very ancient for , if you look at the corner pillars of the van , you will see they are turned ( in a lathe ) , like a table- or chair - leg , and this style of spindle decoration was abandoned by the builders about forty to fifty years ago . I have occasionally seen these turned corner pillars myself , but only on very old vardos . The body of this van is similar to that described in my article as the " Reading Shape , " but the turned spindle work in the front porch belongs to the " Brush Wagon type , with racks for displaying folded carpets for hawking , the bottom one , which looks like a seat , being merely the lowest shelf of such a carpet rack . I would suggest that these spindle racks were added later to the original van , or were a special order from the owner for whom it was built , for as it appears in these photographs , the wagon is definitely a variation from the normal type ( cp . Mr. Fred Shaw's photo of the " Brush Wagon " in my article , Plate No. 14 , facing page 140 ) ." ".' As can easily be recognized when this van was built , it was the reverse of a cheap - made plain vardo ; it is carved bracketed between every rib , and elaborately decorated at the top , middle and bottom with what appears to be an acanthus design . The wheels are not the original ones built with the van , for if you examine them carefully , you will see they have " Warner " hubs , an American style of hub with cast iron centre into which the spokes are fitted . These are no used in England on very light traps and trotting buggies , but no caravan builder would put them on a vardo . So in this specimen I think the original wheels were probably rotten with age and broken down , so were replaced in the States by.new ones . '.Mr. Barnhill was impressed not only by the unusual spindle decoration of the porch , but also by the unique fittings of the interior of the wagon , especially the little open fireplace ( not a stove ) built into the left - hand front corner , ' and ' the sliding shutters . ' He was not previously aware that an open fire was customary in Gypsy vans . And certainly , in my experience , this is a unique feature which adds to the interest of this ancient.caravan .

Fall Landscape Painting Class Review

Fall Landscape Painting Class Review

A couple of weeks ago, I taught a fall landscape painting class to a packed house at Owensville Carnegie Public Library. I had 16 people sign up and that was the limit for the space. Their director contacted me to teach and so it was the first time for me to teach at this library. It was a perfect location. They have the nicest annex area with a kitchen and I couldn’t have asked for a better set…
