Hi all! Hope everyone’s enjoying this amazing spring weather!
The weather held off and we were finally able to complete the Findlay Market Shed!!! (photo attached) Thank you again to all of you who helped out with this project along its way. We were also able to finish some of our micro-green growing boxes for Permaganics!

In celebration of the completion of two projects and spring we’re going light on this month’s meeting. We’re going to switch it up and go to Christy’s BierGarten near UC. Meet us there Thursday the 24th at 6:00 for a casual meeting and a chance to hang out, celebrate, and chat.

Hope to see you there!

In 2010 we salvaged the entire Corbett House kitchen for a planned LEED home project. It was designed by John deKoven Hill. The 2501 Grandin Road home was House Beautiful’s 1960 Pace Setter and is considered the culmination of Frank Lloyd Wright and John deKoven Hill’s collaborative designs. View slide show of the exterior of the home. We aren’t going forward with that project so we are offering the kitchen for auction to benefit the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati. Read more about the kitchen at the CITYBEAT article by Steven Rosen, “Saving a Modernist Cincinnati Kitchen.”

RENNOVATION NATION article, “Saving the 1960 all Formica kitchen from the Corbett House.”

The entire kitchen by John deKoven Hill was saved except for a refrigerator and two dishwashers that were not original. Here’s a slide show of the kitchen removal day. All of the advanced NuTone appliances are included.
