This year, people will have the chance to see the inside of one of the stunning homes in the square, as well as five others throughout Manheim, as part of the Women’s Club of Manheim (WCM)
Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 2, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The iconic Georgian Revival mansion at 2 N. Charlotte St., owned by Ben and Kami Deppen and home to Big Dream Creative Art Studio, will be one of the tour stops fully decorated for the season. The property once served as the site of Baron Henry William Stiegel’s office and storage building, but in 1910 the buildings were razed. Cigar manufacturer and men’s clothing store owner Clayton Gibble built the home, complete with eye-catching features such as twostory fluted columns, oculus windows, and a belvedere.
