Abstract

Grange Solar LLC (Grange Solar) contracted Stantec Consulting Services , Inc. (Stantec ), to conduct a historic architectural reconnaissance survey prior to the proposed Grange Solar Grazing Center (the Project), which is located in Stokes, Bloomfield, Washington, Richland, and McArthur Townships, Logan County , Ohio

A historic architectural records review was conducted utilizing data available through the Ohio History Connection/Ohio Historic Preservation Office (OH-SHPO) focused on a Two -Mile Study Area around the Project. A total of 160 properties were previously recorded on Ohio Historic Inventory (OHI) forms within the APE and the Two -Mile Study Area. Of these 160 previously recorded properties, one is listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP ) In addition, twenty -four (24) total cemeteries were previously recorded by the Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS) within the APE and Two -Mile Study Area.

This survey recorded 374 total properties, of which one (1) historic property is recommended to retain sufficient historic integrity to remain listed in the NRHP, fourteen (14) properties are recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP, and four (4) properties are recommended to retain an undetermined NRHP status due to insufficient access for photos but are not expected to be either directly or indirectly impacted by the Project. The remainder of the properties are recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP. Stantec recommends that three (3) of the eligible historic properties will experience negative visual impacts to their historic integrity resulting in an Adverse Effect . The following report details these findings.

1 Introduction

1.1 Project Description

In response to a request from Grange Solar, Stantec has prepared a historic architectural reconnaissance survey for the Grange Solar Grazing Center (the Project) in Logan County, Ohio. The Project is located on the Russells Point and Huntsville, Ohio United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle maps in Logan County, Ohio Figure 1 provides a topographic view of the Project Area

Based on information provided by Grange Solar, the Project is a combined utility -scale solar energy facility and sheep grazing operation being developed in Logan County, Ohio . The Project will use rows of ground -mounted solar panels to supply wholesale power to the existing electric grid while also providing pasture for livestock. All the Project’s above-ground structures will be situated within vegetated fields enclosed by agricultural-style fences, which will confine the livestock and protect them from predators.

The Project Area is defined as the area where solar arrays and associated infrastructure will be located (the area within and immediately adjacent to planned construction that will be impacted by Project activities ) A cultural resources literature review focused on a two -mile buffer (Two -Mile S tudy A rea) around the proposed Project Area. Research identified 160 previously documented historic buildings and structures as well as twenty -four (24) previously documented cemeteries within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) and Two -Mile Study Area

The majority of the Project Area is located on agricultural lands with a mix of hay/pasture and row crops. Some forested land, farmsteads, and residential parcels are dispersed throughout the Project Area as well. Bellefontaine, the county seat of Logan County, is a growing city with a small central downtown. Bellefontaine is located outside the APE to the southeast.

1.2 Compliance Requirements

The objective of the historic architectural reconnaissance survey is to identify significant architectural resources within the APE in compliance with the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 4906-4 including 49064-08 (D) as administered by the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) and determine the P roject’s potential effect s on those resources eligible for or listed in the NRHP. Based on Stantec’s understanding, the proposed P roject is not a federal undertaking subject to review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA ). However, the historical architectural reconnaissance survey was conducted in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA.

To guide the determination of eligibility of properties for inclusion in the NRHP, the National Park Service (NPS) has developed the NRHP Criteria for Evaluation (36 CFR Part 60.4). The criteria are standards by which every property is evaluated for listing in the NRHP. These standards were used in determining whether resources in the APE may be potentially eligible for the NRHP.

1.3 Area of Potential Effects

The historic architectural reconnaissance survey identified historic properties in both the Area of Potential Effect s (APE) as well as the Two -Mile Study Area. The Two -Mile Study Area for the Project is defined generally by a two -mile radius around the Project Area including the vertical and horizontal space (the area within and immediately adjacent to planned construction) that will be impacted by P roject activities. 10 The APE encompasses the area where impacts may occur, which includes the Project Area as well as portions of the Two -Mile Study Area that have views of the Project. All possible effects to above-ground resources were considered when defining the APE.

To accurately define the APE, a preliminary visual resource analysis was prepared using the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS software with Spatial Analyst Extension. The preliminary visual resource analysis was based on a digital elev ation model (DEM), which considers the screening effects of topography, vegetation, and buildings (Figure 2). Results are reported in a first return LiDAR, given a six -foot -tall observer, and are restricted to a two -mile radius, due to the relatively low height of the panel array, a maximum of 15 feet, as has been customary for solar projects in Ohio. The DEM used for this examination was downloaded from the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (http://gis5.oit.ohio.gov/geodatadownload/).

Simulations prepared for similar solar projects indicate that a two -mile study area range is appropriate for solar projects in this part of Ohio. The visual resource analysis was based on this precedent, the relatively low height of the panel array , and the topography in the broader area. As can be seen in Figure 2, visibility is most pronounced south and west of the Project Area. To the north and east, visibility is somewhat limited due to the presence of significant vegetation and existing buildings. Given these conditions, the proposed APE is restricted at the north and east and expanded at the south and west. Stantec approaches the concept of APE with fluidity, that is, eligible properties in areas directly adjacent to the APE will be included if on-the-ground conditions merit this expansion.

On March 8, 2024, the Phase I Cultural Work P lan for the Project was submitted to the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office (OH-SHPO) and concurrence with the Work P lan was received from OH-SHPO on April 5, 2024 In September 2024, the Project Area decreased to the area shown in the report mapping. By this time, Stantec had already surveyed six new OHI properties with new OHI numbers. To avoid confusion and to seek determinations of NRHP eligibility for the new OHI properties, Stantec has not decreased the APE or the Two -Mile Study Area from what was submitted in the March 2024 Work P lan. E ffects assessments to eligible properties are based on distances from the current Project Area.

10 A detailed description of the Project methodology, including the development and coordination of the APE and Two - Mile Study Area, is included in Section 2.2 Field Methods.

2 Research Design

The historic architectural reconnaissance survey design follows guidance in the Guidelines for Conducting History/Architecture Surveys in Ohio (rev. 2014); Guidelines for the Recordation of Architectural Resources for the Ohio Historic Inventory in I-Form – Quick Reference (2014); the NPS Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning, Parts 1 and 2 (rev.1985), National Register Bulletin 15, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation (rev. 1995), and National Register Bulletin 16A, How to Complete the National Register Registration Form (rev. 1997). In addition, given the number of rural properties examined in this study , NRHP Bulletin 30, Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Historic Rural Landscapes (rev. 1999) was utilized. The Principal Investigators (PI), Rachel Kennedy and Jennifer Ryall, exceed the requirements for professional architectural historians as detailed in the Secretary of the Interior Standards. The investigation included research conducted using online data provided by the OH-SHPO, review of maps and literature, and field survey.

2.1 Research Methods

Stantec conducted research to establish a historic context for West Central Ohio and to determine the presence of historic resources in the APE that have already been surveyed or listed in the NRHP. The records used for research include the National Historic Landmarks list, NRHP list, Ohio Historic Inventory (OHI) records , Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS) Cemetery Survey files, and County Histories and Atlas Maps. Stantec also conducted research in-person at the Knowlton Library in Bellefontaine, OH

2.1.1 Literature Review / Previous Historic Resource Surveys

Stantec completed a literature review to identify previously recorded historic architectural resources within the Two -Mile Study Area. Research was conducted using data provided by the OH-SHPO and the NPS in January 2024. For this literature review, the following resources were consulted:

• National Historic Landmarks;

• National Register of Historic Places;

• Ohio Historic Inventory files;

• Ohio Genealogical Society Cemetery Registry Survey files; and

• Historic Maps and Atlases.

Records provided by the OH-SHPO revealed a total of 160 previously recorded properties and twentyfour (24) previously recorded cemeteries (Figure 3) Three of these properties are listed in the NRHP. Of the 160 properties, one hundred and forty -nine (149) are in Logan County, and eleven are in Shelby County. Of the one-hundred and forty -nine (149) previously surveyed properties in Logan County, fortyfive (45) are no longer extant. Three of the previously recorded properties in Shelby County are no longer extant. Of the twenty -two (22) cemeteries in Logan County, four were inaccessible/not visible from the ROW, six were not extant, and three were destroyed 2. One of the two cemeteries in Shelby County was not extant.

2.1.2 National Historic Landmarks List

There are no National Historic Landmarks located in the Two -Mile Study Area

2.1.3 National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)

In addition to two NRHP -listed mound s ites , which will be addressed in the accompanying archaeological report, the NRHP -listed 1876 McColly Covered Bridge (75001458) in Miami Township is within the TwoMile Study Area. The McColly Covered Bridge appears to be one of only two remaining covered bridges in Logan County. This Howe truss covered bridge was listed in the NRHP in 1975 as a significant example of nineteenth-century American bridge engineering.

2.1.4 Ohio Historic Inventory

One-hundred sixty (160) previously recorded OHI resources are located within the APE and the Two -Mile S tudy Area; six (6) of these are within the Project Area. These resources include farmsteads, residential buildings , barns , industrial buildings, schoolhouses, churches, and cemeteries (Table 2-1) Forty -eight (48) of these resources were confirmed as no longer extant during the field survey in Spring of 2024 Of the remaining one-hundred six (106) previously recorded OHI resources , forty -six (46) are located within the APE , and sixty (60) are located outside the APE within the Two -Mile Study Area. 3 The previously recorded resources are located north, east, south, and west of the Project Area. The properties located outside of the Project Area may be located within its viewshed which is evaluated for visual impacts.

2.2 Field Methods

In April 2024, Stantec’s architectural history team, led by Rachel M. Kennedy , MHP , and Jennifer N. Ryall, MHP, with Rowan Davidson, Heather Doerge, and Becky Gatewood , conducted an historic architectural survey using methods consistent with both the NPS guidelines and the OH-SHPO guidelines (Derry et al. 1977; OH-SHPO 2014).

Field survey s consisted of driving all county roads within the APE to identify potentially eligible properties. A combination of reconnaissance and limited intensive survey work was paired with archival research to identify and evaluate resources over 45 years of age. The 45-year mark was utilized to allow for analysis of resources that may turn 50 years old prior to the P roject review or construction. In addition, potentially eligible resources, less than 50 years in age, were analyzed to determine if they meet NRHP Criterion Consideration G, properties that have achieved significance within the last 50 years. There were no f ield sites that met this criterion’s registration requirements.

Three hundred and seventy -four (374) f ield sites were examined, which can be found in the Field Survey Results Table in Appendix B Three hundred and eight -two (382) field sites were initially examined; however, after the field survey, eight of those sites were determined not to be of sufficient age and were removed from the report . In the interest of time, rather than re-numbering all the remaining field sites and their accompanying photos and field notes, the authors of the report chose to leave gaps in the field site numbering Due to insufficient access for photos and information, four properties were recommended to retain an undetermined NRHP status but are not expected to be either directly or indirectly impacted by the Project.

Each potential historic property was photographed and a preliminary assessment of integrity and NRHP eligibility was conducted. Field survey s were conducted on the exterior of the properties and primarily from right -of -way unless the property appeared potentially eligible or was previously recorded. In the latter instances, efforts were made to gain access and obtain sufficient photography and information from residents regarding the property’s history. General landscape photographs were also taken in order to demonstrate context. The P roject Area was also surveyed for potential historic districts. Crossroads villages and other rural areas were examined during the field reconnaissance survey, both inside and outside the APE, to determine if there was sufficient integrity and continuity for potential NRHP districts. No NRHP historic districts were found as a result of the field survey.

Field survey in the Two -Mile Study Area outside the APE was limited, due to the P roject’s scope and likely visual effects. However, Stantec’s architectural history team documented all previously recorded OHI properties within the Two -Mile Study Area, if extant. In addition, cemeteries included in the OGS cemetery database were also recorded if the sites included above-ground features, such as gravemarkers, walls and fences, designed landscapes, memorials, mausoleums, and other above-ground resources. Once documented, cemeteries were evaluated utilizing NRHP Criteria Consideration D.

Importantly, there were substantial access limitations within the APE and Two -Mile Study Area which were not anticipated prior to the survey. An EF3 tornado impacted Logan County on March 14, 2024, result ing in extensive damage, loss of life, and injuries . On March 29, Governor Mike DeWine requested a Presidential Disaster Declaration, and on May 2, 2024, the Presidential Disaster Declaration for the FEMA Individual Assistance Program was issued for 11 counties impacted by the March tornado event including but not limited to Logan County. 18 The tornado occurred just prior to the intended mobilization for the historic architectural reconnaissance survey. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), supercell thunderstorms developed over Indiana producing strong tornadoes in western and central Ohio . The NWS Wilmington [Ohio] office confirmed seven tornadoes including the one that formed just south of

Wapakoneta (Auglaize County) and extend ed into Logan County through Lakeview, ending near Bellefontaine 19 Per the Bellefontaine Examiner, “The twister was reportedly upwards of a mile wide when it ripped through a section of Lakeview. It had an estimated top wind speed of 155 mph, and a total path length of 31.2 miles. ” 20 As a result of the lives lost and the extensive property damage, especially in the Lakeview and Russells Point communities within the APE and Two -Mile Study Area, the team waited to go into the field until April to allow time for the disaster response. As field conditions allowed, the team respectfully documented as much as possible within the APE and Two -Mile Study Area while also mapp ing the Survey Exclusion Area within which they were unable to survey due to safety concerns , ongoing cleanup , and/ or the extent of property damag e (Figure 4). The need for the Survey Exclusion Area and the approach taken for this survey based on the disaster in March 2024 have been discussed with and agreed upon by OH-SHPO in August 2024 21

2.3 Expected Results

Due to the relative size of the APE and Two -Mile Study Area and the early -to -mid nineteenth century Euro -American settlement of the area, Stantec expects to identify unrecorded historic resources , which are eligible for listing in the NRHP. The landscape was historically agricultural in nature and for the most part remains that way today, except for the unincorporated communities and villages mentioned below. Within the Two -Mile Study Area, there are two NRHP listed mounds which will be addressed in the arc haeological report and one NRHP listed historic structure which will be addressed in this report – the McColly Covered Bridge. The 160 previously recorded OHI properties and 24 OGS cemeteries within the Above-ground APE and the Two -Mile (3.2-km) study area indicate that unrecorded historic buildings, structures, and cemeteries are likely to be identified. Buildings are likely to include those typical of agricultural landscapes including but not limited to houses; garages; barns; and other agricultural suppo rt buildings. Buildings within unincorporated communities and villages were expected to include residential, commercial, and institutional buildings to support the residents living in those communities as well as the surrounding agricultural portions of the county. Structures, such as historic culverts and bridges, were expected to be identified in greater numbers in the rural portion of the county but were also expected to be identified within unincorporated communities or villages.

Additional unrecorded cemeteries, in addition to the OGS cemeteries, were expected to be identified in either the rural portions of the county or at the edges of the unincorporated communities and villages. The Project Area does not include any major population centers or major industries; however, the northern margin of the Project Area touches the southern margin of the Village of Russells Point. In addition to the Village of Russells Point, north of the Project Area is the Village of Lakeview. Just south of portions of the Project Area are the unincorporated communities of Bloom Center and Lewiston, as well as the Village of Huntsville. East of the Project Area is the unincorporated community of New Richland. West of the Project Area is Village of Jackson Center. Of these, only portions of Bloom Center, Lakeview, Lewiston, and Russells Point are within or partially within the Above-ground APE. It was expected that additional historic resources would be newly identified within the Above-ground APE, and that many of these will be associated with these unincorporated communities and villages.

Historic Context

The purpose of this section is to provide a context through which to evaluate the results of our investigations. This section will briefly outline the environmental and cultural background of the region in and around Logan and Shelby County , Ohio.

3.1.2

Early European Settlement (18th century)

The establishment of Detroit in 1701 as a major center for fur trade and as the seat of European political and military power in the region led to an increase of non-Native people and a resurgence of Native Americans in the Ohio area throughout the eighteenth century. 24 By the mid -eighteenth century, British and French traders competed for dominance in the Ohio region. Following the Seven Years ’ War (17561763), the French relinquished control of all Ohio lands to the British. 25 In the years following the treaty that ended the war, British colonists were often engaged in skirmishes and battles with the Native Americans, who were disgruntled with the postwar policies of the British. In an attempt to maintain peaceful relations wit h the Tribes that participated as allies to the French during the war, Great Britain passed the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which restricted settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. 26 The proclamation only served to anger the colonists, who continued to move west and settle. The British victory in the North American Theater of the Seven Years ’ War and the events that followed shortly thereafter sparked the upheaval that would lead to the American Revolution against Great Britain. 27 After the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), most of the Native American territory was ceded to the

United States through a series of treaties, including the Treaty of Fort McIntosh (Pennsylvania) in 1785 and the Treaty of Greenville (Ohio) in 1795. 28

3.1.3 Land Development (Late 18th to Late 19th centuries)

In the late eighteenth century, the area was home to many Native American villages. More than a dozen villages were created in the county in the 1760s and 1770s, as a result of Tribes being pushed westward by white settlers. The Shawnee Nation, the Wyandot Nation, as well as the Delaware, Mingo, Seneca, and Cherokee were in the region during this period. In 1786, Benjamin Logan led Logan’s Raid through the area. His group included U.S. soldiers as well as Kentucky militia who specifically targeted Shawnee villages, destroying their homes and food sources and killing one of their most admired chiefs. 29

In 1817, an addit ional treaty mandated all Native Americans in Ohio to move to reservations. One reservation, the Lewistown Reservation, was in western Logan County Primarily Shawnee and Seneca relocated to the reservation In 1830, the Indian Removal Act forced the removal of Native Americans to reservations in Kansas and Oklahoma. Within the next ten years the remaining Native Americans in Ohio were forced west. 30

3.1.4 Logan County, Ohio

Logan County, Ohio , was established in 1817. The town of Bellefontaine was laid out in 1820 and serves as the county seat. Perry Township was organized in 1830. 31 The first settlement in the area that became Perry Township occurred in 1805. 32 Many Native Americans lived in Perry Township at this time. While there were no documented villages, members of the Delaware and Shawnee Tribes frequented the area on hunting trips. 33 The land associated with Logan County was initially set aside for Native Americans in Ohio under the Treaty of Greenville. 34 However, the treaty was not honored and Native Americans were eventually expelled from the land. In an added offense, the land originally intended for these Native American tribes was named in honor of Benjamin Logan, who spent his life fighting Native Am ericans. 35 By 1805, the “unbroken wilderness” gave way to a highly populated and cultivated region. 36 The prosperity of the community was measured through its numerous schoolhouses, churches, and industries. Agriculture was the focus of the economy at this time. Jonathan Chapman, also known as “Johnny Appleseed,” was said to have had orchards and nurseries within Logan County. 37

The first railroad planned for Ohio extended through Logan County. The Mad River Railroad , as it was called by locals, began in Sandusky in 1832. It did not reach Bellefontaine for 15 years due to a lack of funding and issues with construction The line reached its destination of Dayton in 1850. The line was later known as the Lake Erie and Mad River Railroad and extended to Cincinnati as part of the “Big Four.” 38 By the late 1800s, t he Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad traveled across Logan County from the

northwest to the south. It provided access to Lakeview, Lewistown, and Bellefontaine connecting further to Columbus 39

In addition to providing access to agricultural markets further away as well as providing easier accessibility for travelers in and through the area, the railroad also enabled Logan County to further advance its role in cement manufacturing. During the late 1800s, George Bartholomew founded the Buckeye Portland Cement Company in Marl City , seven miles northeast of Bellefontaine. The native marl pits in the area provided ample material to produce cement. In 1891, Bartholomew persuaded the city of Bellefontaine to allow him to pave a portion of Main Street with his experimental concrete near the Courthouse. Bartholomew’s goal was to prove to the city that he had mastered a way to make an economical concrete pavement that could endure the daily traffic of horses, wagons, and other loads. The pavement was such a success that the city used Bartholomew’s material to pave the remainder of Court Square. Today the original paved portion of Main Street in Bellefontaine holds the record for being the oldest concrete street in the county. 40

Others in the area followed suit during the early 1900s , creating cement block factories that manufactured building materials Some utilized machines to cast blocks with a rusticated finish that could be used for foundations as well as porch railings and columns. 41

Concrete manufacturing reflected a national trend during the early 1900s, when there were a thousand companies and individuals manufacturing concrete blocks. Individuals could purchase a block machine and some even created their own. One individual in East Liberty , ten miles east of Bellefontaine, advertised that he had “patented machines for the manufacture of…cement building blocks, cement shingles, and cement fence posts and other articles.” 43

Manufacturing, service industries, and tourism have played an important role in the county . 44 Indian Lake State Park and Zane Caverns are among the principal attractions in Logan County. Today, the county spans 459 square miles and as of 2020, had a population of 46,150. 45

3.1.5 Logan County Townships: Bloomfield, Harrison, McArthur, Richland, Stokes, Washington Townships

Bloomfield Township is located along Rum Creek in the western boarder of the county People of European descent settled in the area around 1830 The soil contains clay and the land has small slopes It was ideal for growing corn and grass. These quickly became the principle crops. Before 1880, Bloomfield had a flour mill, a tile manufacturer, a store, a post office, a drug store, two blacksmith shops, two churches, and a school. 46

Washington Township was settled in the early nineteenth century in the western portion of the county The township was originally a part of Bloomfield Township until 1838. By 1880, the township had a church, a school, a grist mill, and a tannery There are two kinds of soil within the township: clay on the east side and black loam on the western side. Wheat , corn, and grass were the principal crops in the 1880s. 47

Harrison Township was first settled by non-Native Americans in 1811 when the McPherson family settled in the area from Pennsylvania 48 The township is centrally located within the county. Although a few others settled in the area shortly after the McPherso n Family, settlement was not significant in the area until the 1820s. By 1821, the Township had a gristmill, a saw mill, and a distillery. Harrison Township was divided from Lake Township in 1832 and was organized in 1836 49 The township has clay soil as well as areas of fertile bottomland. The eastern portion of the township had limestone quarries as early as the 1880s 50

McArthur Township is located in the north-central part of the county. The township was organized in 1823. One of the first businesses in the township was a grist mill owned by Adam Yearn. The mill was established in 1828 51 Soil in the township is clay in the east and gravel loam to the south and west. Like the county as a whole, the township primarily produced wheat, corn, and grass . The western portion of the township is relatively flat, whereas other areas of the township have slightly rolling topography.

Richland Township is located in the north part of the county . The t ownship was created in 1845. The first “road” in the township was Hull’s Trace 52 The Trace extended from Cherokee to Solomon Town across the township through Belle Center and into neighboring Hardin County. The township is crossed by the north and middle branches of the Miami River Land throughout is relatively flat . This combined with the Miami River drainage resulted in the township being named for its “rich land.” 53 The western portion of the township has been historically more fertile, whereas the eastern half contains more clay soil. Crops grown in the towns hip during the late nineteenth century included wheat, corn, and grass. 54

Stokes Township is located at the northwestern corner of the county It was formed in 1838. During the 1850s, Lewistown Reservoir was created in the eastern section of the township by flooding several ponds

and acres of land . Two branches of the Muchinippi Creek cross through the township in the southwest section 55 With flat terrain and numerous watersheds, the township proved difficult for farming. During the early settlement of the area corn and grass were the primary crops . Later wheat became a popular crop in the township. 56

3.1.6 Agriculture in Logan County

Logan County’s first recorded agricultural census dates to 1860, when there were over 237,000 acres in farmland. 57 That number only increased at the turn of the century with 289,777 acres of Logan County land being used for farming. 58 Farming dominated the economy with 95-100 percent of land being used for farming. 59 Farmers earned 50-75 dollars per acre harvested which was on par with the state average of 53.34 dollars per acre. 60 Corn was listed as the most valuable crop for the county at the time. 61 The amount of acreage used for farming in the county has stayed relatively consistent for over 100 years. 62 Farming continued in Logan County throughout the late nineteenth century and into the present day. In the 2017 U.S. Agricultural Census for Logan County, there were 1,009 total farms covering about 211,281 acres of land, which is a one percent decrease from the 2012 U.S. Census. This suggests that the amount of land farmed has remained relatively stable in the last four years. On average, a Logan County farm contains 209 acres. Of those 1,009 farms, 87 percent of the land is used for cropland; three percent of the land is used for pastureland; seven percent of the land is used for woodland; and three percent of the land is used for other means. 63 Some of the most common crops grown in Logan County include grains, oilseeds, dry beans, and dry peas; these account for approximately 68 percent of the county’s crop output. Other kinds of crops produced in the area include vegetables, melons, potatoes, and sweet potatoes; fruits, tree nuts, and berries; nursery plants, greenhouse plants, floriculture plants, and sod; cultivated Christmas trees and short rotation woody crops; and hay. In addition, livestock is raised in Logan County. The livestock raised in Logan County includes milking cows, hogs and pigs; goats and sheep; horses, ponies, mules, burros, and donkeys; and aquaculture. 64 In 1969, Logan County had a total of 1,381 farms on about 188,047 acres, with an average farm containing about 136.17 acres. 65

3.1.7

Indian Lake

Indian Lake Dam, in Stokes Township, was built in 1850 to create the Lewis town reservoir as a “feeder lake” for the Miami and Erie Canal. The Little Miami River drains into the reservoir. The reservoir was expanded between 1856 and 1860 to enhance the waterpower of the Miami Canal and the spillway was added . The area is known as Indian Lake, named after one of the lakes flooded for the initial creation of the reservoir. The lake encompasses over 5,000 acres. 66

The community of Huntsville, located approximately five miles southeast, originally served as the local stop for the reservoir because it provided the nearest railroad access . Visitors to the reservoir would either walk or arrange a ride to the reservoir. 67 The Newark and Granvile Street Railroad of Ohio Interurban provided service to Indian Lake starting in 1889. By the early 1900s it offered hourly access to Lakeview and Russells Point. 68 The lake and dam have been owned by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources since the department was created in 1949. The dam spillway was rehabilitated in 1959 and again in 1972. The original spillway was replaced in 2018 due to structural issues. 69

3.1.8 Shelby County, Ohio

People of European descent began settling in present -day Shelby County around 1805 The land in the southern portion of the county is relativ ely flat , while land near the Miami River and Loramie Creek contain more rolling hills with fertile soil. 70 Shelby County was officially established in April of 1819 from Miami County . It was named in honor of Isaac Shelby, a former Kentucky governor. 71 Sidney was named as the county seat The county had a population of 2,142 by 1820. 72

Settlers in the early 1800s had little access to equipment and goods. They cleared enough farmland to sustain their families. Large sections of Shelby County were flat and not well drained, hindering the development of roads beyond the capacity of a horse. Water transportation consisted of sending flatbottomed boats along Loramire Creek and the Great Miami River to Cincinnati. From there the Ohio and Mississippi provided access to outside markets. 73 In 1822, the Ohio legislature established the Canal Commission with the intention of creating a canal system in the state. Seven years later, the Miami and Erie Canal connected Dayton to Cincinnati. The “Sidney Feeder” was completed through Sidney in 1841 By 1845, t hese were all connected to Lake Erie 74

Although the swampy conditions of the county hindered maintenance of the canals and made road creation difficult, residents in Shelby County continued to take advantage of the fertile soil for agricultural pursuits. By 1839 the county had an Agricultural Society . The first county fair was held the following year Crops showcased at the fair included corn and potatoes 75 The population of the county was 12,153 by 1840. 76

In the 1840s, Shelby County was impacted by an unusual piece of American history. The history begins in Virginia with the will of an American politician, John Randolph. Randolph was elected to Congress in 1799 and was a member of the U.S. Senate from 1825 to 1827. He was named minister to Russia in 1830. By this time, he had amassed a plantation of 6,000 acres and was the owner of over 400 enslaved African Americans. In 1833, Randolph died, and his will freed those he had enslaved . In addition to freedom, Randolph reserved $8,000 in his will to cover the transport ation and settlement of these freed people within another state or territory . His will further instructed that any of the newly freed over the age of 40 were to be given 10 acres in this new location. Randolph’s family opposed the will, declaring it was a

result of insanity . Randolph’s brother reportedly retained the slaves in his possession for 13 years while a court battle continued over the will. 77

When the court battle concluded in favor of the will, William Leigh, who was Randolph’s cousin and esquire at the time of his will, began purchasing land in Mercer County, Ohio to arrange for the settlement per Randolph’s will. Leigh soon acquired around 3,200 acres in the county. In June of 1846, 383 former enslaved African Americans made the trip from Virginia to western Ohio with a guide employed by Leigh to direct the trip and ensure their settlement. 78 The group came through Cincinnati, where they boarded barges on the Miami and Erie Canal. The group disembarked in New Bremen, which was then part of Mercer County. Local residents knew of their arrival and gathered to display their aversion to the new group of settlers in the form of an angry and armed mob Nothing went according to Randolph or Leigh’s plan and the group of newly freed African Americans eventually sp lit to settle in various areas including Shelby County. Although they were not truly welcomed in any location, a number settled in Sidney and were hired as farmhands. Many settled in Rumley, which was an early black settlement in Shelby County. 79 None of the original formerly enslaved Randolph group or their descendants ever received any of the land or money profited from its sale as intended During the early 1900s an effort was made to reclaim what Randolph intended to be theirs, but the statute of limitations had been reached. 80

Descendants of the group continue to reunite today and call themselves the “Buckeyes. 81” A descendant of one of the former enslaved, James P. Humphrey became the first B lack mayor of Sidney in 1981 82

By 1856, Sidney was accessed by two steam railroads and residents in the county had more efficient connections to outside markets . One of the steam lines ran from Dayton to Michigan and the other from Bellefontaine to Indianapolis. These lines and additional ones throughout the state eventually led to the downfall of the canal system. 83

By 1860, Shelby County had a population of 17,493 and agriculture continued to be the primary occupation 84 Residents throughout the county , some of which had never left their land or the county where they lived, were called to action during the Civil War Following the attack of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, President Lincoln called for the recruitment of 75,000 troops within 90 days Company F of the 15th Ohio Voluntary Infantry was one of the first units that was formed . Approximately 100 men in Company F were from Sidney. By 1863, a draft was established for men between the ages of 20 and 45. In Shelby County, a committee was formed to look for able men throughout the county. On June 12, 1863, t he local Sidney paper published a notice that the courthouse bell would be rung the following day to actively form a regiment of 1,000 citizens. 85 More than 1,000 men from Shelby County served in the Civil War; more than 300 never came home. The state of Ohio in total lost over 35,000 of its citizens in the war, second in number to New York state. 86

The Western Ohio Railway, known by locals as the “trolley” ran as an interurban through Sidney beginning in the early 1900s. It provided access to Toledo, Findlay, Lima, Piqua, Troy, and Dayton. 87 In 1913, the final blow to the canal system fell in the form of a flood. Unusual amounts of snow, followed by a very wet spring filled reservoirs, spilling into the canal systems. The flood itself lasted from March 23 through March 27, dropping ten inches of rain across the state of Ohio parts of Indiana and to the northeast as far as Connecticut In Ohio, c anal banks, aqueducts, and paths were washed out and entire towns were flooded 88

Today, Shelby County comprises 408 square miles of land and has a population of over 48,000. Manufacturing is the biggest employer in the county, followed by educational services, health care, and social assistance. 89

3.1.9 Jackson Township, Shelby County, Ohio

Jackson Township is in the northeast corner of Shelby County. The township consists of flat land with some rolling hills. In the late nineteenth century, the soil was revered as fertile and productive. The township was first settled in 1831 and was officially organized in 1833. The first mill known to operate here was constructed circa 1839 by Daniel Davis. This mill produced corn meal, wheat flour, and buckwheat flour. By 1880, the township was home to two general stores, a pump factory, a steam sawmill, a shoe store, a hotel, a school, two churches, a blacksmith and wago n shop, and a doctor. These businesses served the roughly 150 people living in the community. 90

Jackson Center, located slightly east of the center of the township was first platted in 1835 by James Wells. Wells reportedly platted the village for Calvin Davis who had relocated to the area to freely practice his faith, Seventh Day Baptist. At the time, Jackson Center was the furthest west a family of that faith had settled. 91 It had 24 lots recorded at this time. A post office was established in the town in 1860 92 The 1865 Map of Shelby County depicts the community, then referred to as Jackson “Centre,” with 24 lots, including a store and school. 93 The 1875 Atlas of the area portrays Jackson Centre with some growth in comparison to 1865. By this time the town had 34 lots. 94

By 1883, the village had approximately 35 residences and 150 citizens. It was still referred to as Jackson “Centre” at this time. The town offered dry good stores , two sawmills, and a “saddler shop ” A t annery was located nearby along with a blacksmith shop , a wagon and repair shop, a doctor, a Seventh Day Baptist church, a masonic lodge, and a post office. 95 The Ohio Southern Railroad began service through Jackson Centre during the 1890s The line was eventually acquired by the Dayton, Toledo, and Ironton Railroad The community of Jackson Centre was finally incorporated in 1894 96

During the 1890s, a college was created in Jackson Center. It was financed by the residents of the town. Reportedly graduating a total of 140 students, the college was only in existence for four years. 97 A comparison of the 1875 Atlas and t he 1900 Atlas of Shelby County clearly illustrates how much the town grew between 1883 and 1900 due to the railroad. The atlas depicts the Ohio Southern Railroad travelling north-south through Jackson Township and the town, then referred to as Jackson “Center. ” The town had a central depot. 98 The population of Jackson Center in 1900 was 644. 99

The 1913 topographic map of Jackson Center depicts the town of Jackson Center surrounded by a fairly open landscape, indicating the area remained primarily agricultural during this time The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad is shown traveling north-south through the community. 100 A comparison of the 1913 and the 1944 topographic map s of the area illustrates the improvement of roads during that time. This reflects the nationwide popularity and availability of the automobile. By this time, t he road traveling northsouth through Jackson Center is State Route 65 and the route east -west through the community is State Route 274. 101

During the 1950s, a new industry was established in Jackson Cent er Wally Byam, who founded the travel trailer company Airstream during the 1930s in California was looking for a second factory location. By the early 1950s, Byam was specifically looking for a location that would provide access to markets in the east. In the summer of 1952, Byam traveled to Chicago for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, in a promotional 1933 Airstream. On the return trip, Byam visited relatives in Ohio and st op ped for gas in Sidney, Ohio where he asked about local real estate. He was directed to an old factory building in Jackson Centre The building was eventually acquired by Byam and Airstream began operations in Jackson Centre In 1978, the Airstream facility in California was closed. From that point on, all Airstream products have been manufactured in Jackson Cent er 102

In 2018, Airstream began construction of a new $40 million 750,000 square foot headquarters facility in Jackson Centre. The new facility became home to the company’s “touring coach manufacturing line,” and created more than 300 jobs. Today Airstream employs over 900 at its Jackson Center facility 103

Today, Airstream is the largest employer in Jackson Center, followed closely by Plastipak Packaging, which produces plastic bottles . Other major employers in the area include the trucking industry, education, and general manufacturing. 104 The population of Jackson Center in 2020 was 1,441 105

3.1.10 The Miami River

The Great Miami River was prone to flooding the communities that settled near it. Following the Great Flood of 1913, which claimed the lives of 360 people, The Miami Conservancy District (MCD) was formed The MCD was officially established in 1915 and by 1922 43 miles of levees and five dry dams were built along the river. The dams were constructed in Huffman, Taylorsville, Lockington, Englewood, and Germantown. The levees are located in Hamilton, Middletown, Franklin, Miamisburg, West Carrollton,

The Great Miami River begins at Indian Lake in Logan County Multiple levee systems have been built along the river to prevent major flooding. 108 The river spans 170 miles southwest before terminating at the Ohio River near Cincinnati Today, about 97 percent of people living within the Miami River Watershed , which consists of 5,702 square miles, rely on groundwater for their water supply. Over 70 percent of land located within the watershed is used for agricultural purposes. Corn, wheat, and soybeans are among the most harvested crops in the watershed . Over 75 percent of the 1.3 million people living in the watershed reside in an urban area. 109

4 Results of Field Investigation

Field survey sites were generally dispersed along the main roads throughout the APE Most field sites date from the mid -nineteenth century through the first half of the twentieth century Several mid -to -latetwentieth century residences are distributed throughout the APE as well. A summary of field survey results is included in Appendix B and includes determinations of eligibility. Based upon field survey results and the historic context, and archival research, Stantec recommends that one (1) NRHP -listed historic property retains sufficient historic integrity to remain listed in the NRHP and recommends fourteen (14) properties eligible for listing in the NRHP. Stantec recommends that four (4) properties should retain an undetermined NRHP status due to insufficient access for photos and information, but they are not expected to be either directly or indirectly impacted by the Project. The remainder of the properties are recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP. No p otential NRHP historic districts are recommended eligible in the APE or in the Two -Mile Study Area. The following discussion summarizes the results and analysis in detail.

4.1 Results and Analysis

The f ield survey team originally documented 382 properties , but due to lack of sufficient age, eight of these properties were removed. The remaining 374 properties over forty -five (45) years of age within the Project Area, APE , and Two -Mile Study Area were documented and as part of this report (Figure 8) Previously recorded OHI buildings and structures and OGS cemeteries were surveyed outside the APE within the Two -Mile Study Area The surveyed properties are primarily residences and barns , but also include farmsteads and structures, such as cemeteries. A full set of field survey maps is provided in Appendix D.

After collection of field survey data, t he 374 field sites were further evaluated to determine NRHP eligibility following guidance in NRHP Bulletins 15 and 16A, as detailed in Section 2.2. Each property was examined for its significance, age, and integrity, which are summarized in a detailed chart in Appendix B. An analysis of the rural and domestic settings encountered in the field is provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. These sections are organized by location and property types and include a synopsis of prevalent domestic buildings and commercial buildings.

As detailed in Appendix B, most of the properties are recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP. These properties are not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history , as is necessary to be eligible under Criterion A. No information was found that identifies any properties associated with persons important to our past per Criterion B. Furthermore, the ineligible properties fail to embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction as is necessary under Criterion C. In addition, cemeteries were also evaluated utilizing Criteria Consideration C and D Archaeological sites are primarily assessed under Criterion D , which is addressed in the separate Phase I archaeolog ical report prepared for the P roject.

4.2 Rural Agricultural Setting

Most of the APE has a rural setting oriented along state and county roads. The predominant land uses within the APE and Two -Mile Study Area are rural agricultural and rural residential Field survey confirmed a predominant rural land use with a few pockets of mid - to late-twentieth century rural suburban properties . Most resources surveyed within the AP E are rural houses generally constructed from the 1880s through the 1950s. These houses are situated on one-to -ten-acre parcels with modern outbuilding s , such as one-to -two -car garages and/or workshop building s This type of mid -twentieth century “piano -key development” occurred when large farmsteads were partially subdivided into narrow lots oriented along the main road

Farmsteads are also found throughout the APE and Two -Mile Study Area. Many of these properties continue to be used for agricultural purposes ; however, historic barns and outbuildings have often been demolished or have collapsed over time These types of properties typically include the main residence, barns and agricultural outbuildings , and detached garages Many of these properties also have modern residential and agricultural outbuildings Few of these properties retain their original domestic outbuildings, such as meat houses , summer kitchens , and/or chicken houses . These domestic outbuildings were often removed from farmsteads in the 1950s , due to the proliferation of modern conveniences. Most farmsteads typically retain selected examples of barns, poultry houses , granaries, or open-bay machine sheds that are of sufficient age. Some retain large amounts of acreage, while some have been downsized to just a few acres of land with the residence and outbuildings.

4.3 Rural Residential Setting

A large percentage of residences in the APE are single-story Ranch houses Most of these dwellings are generally found along the main roads in piano key development fashion rather than in subdivisions The examples below in Plate 5 illustrate their typical form.

Other styles and types of mid -twentieth century resources, such as Minimal Traditional and Split -Level residences, are represented throughout the APE. Although these residences occur less frequently , they still represent a sample of the domestic architecture within the APE. Examples of these architectural types and styles can been seen below in Plate 6.

4.4 Recommended Eligible Properties

As a result of the field survey, research, and analysis, Stantec recommends that one (1) historic property retains sufficient historic integrity to remain listed in the NRHP and that fourteen (14) properties are eligible for listing in the NRHP (Figure 9). These historic properties were determined to retain sufficient historic integrity and significance for the NRHP under Criteria A, B, or C or a combination of Criteria. These historic properties are described below with photographs and narrative text. Effects are included in the discussion of each property’s eligibility and are summarized in Section 4.5.

4.4.1 John M. Smith House (LOG0050005)

Field Site Number: 7

Address: 12838 CR 60, Quincy, OH 43343

Lat/Long: 40.417407, -83.985116

Date of Construction: ca. 1875

Narrative Description:

This 200-acre property co ntains the John M. Smith House (primary resource), a three-bay garage, a nonhistoric one-bay garage, two large equipment storage barns, two non-historic grain bins, and a nonhistoric run-in shed. The two story, brick , John M. Smith House was built circa 1875 and has a historic rear addition dating to at least 1957, which appears to connect the house with a previously separate, single story brick, outbuilding suspected to have functioned as a smokehouse 111 The house appears to have been designed with a somewhat unusual cross shaped plan Its structural brick walls are laid in common bond, and it has a cross gable plan. Its cross gable roof is clad with metal panels and it has four interior brick chimneys. Its fenestration pattern is W-D -W-W-W-D -W with historic 2/2 wooden windows retaining stone lintels and sills . The house also retains historic front doors flanking the central projecting cross gable wing ; these two half -light doors have arched lights and transoms above. A ccess to the front doors is provided by dual, poured concrete patio s with simple, non-historic metal railings. The house rests on a continuous brick foundation

Northwest of the house is a one-bay garage with a multi-paned window, a metal roof, and vertical siding (extant by 1957). West of the one-bay garage is a three-bay garage with vertical siding, a two -paned casement window, and a side gable roof (extant by 1994, according to historic aerials) West and northwest of the garages are two large equipment storage barns with vertical siding (extant by 1957 and 1981, respectively). East of the northernmost equipment storage barn is a circa 2006 run-in shed. North of the run-in shed are two g rain bins (extant by 1981).

As illustrated in the 1875 Atlas Map of Logan County , the John M. Smith House historically had a flatroofed front porch wrapping around the central projecting cross gable wing The porch roof was supported by bracketed columns, and it had a balcony with a decorative railing. These features have since been removed, replaced by the dual concrete patios flanking the central projecting cross gable wing In 1875, t he farmstead also had associated former outbuildings including a large stable (Figure 10) and a small brick outbuilding to the rear of the house, both of which are no longer extant.

Per the Atlas of Logan County , John Manasseh Smith (1827-1898), suspected to have built the house, owned the land in 1875 through at least 1890 113 John M. inherited the family farm (even though, interestingly, he was not the eldest). Born in 1827, John married Elizabeth (nee Smith, 1827-1910) in 1852 and thereafter they had at least nine children. 114 By 1860, John amassed $3,100 in real estate and another $500 in other personal assets. 115 By 1870, his real estate was worth $6,400. 116 This significant landholding is apparent on the aforementioned 1890 Logan County map, where John M. Smith is shown as owning 360 acres just east of Bloom Center where the John M. Smith House was built. 117 John served as mayor of the village of West Liberty, located to the east of Bloom Center, soon after its establishment. 118

John’s father, Jacob Smith (1794-1870), had founded the associated farm around 1835, and his descendants continued its farming use 119 Jacob and his wife, Christina (nee Hall, 1795-1872), originated from Pickaway and Fairfield Counties in central Ohio, where they had fourteen children, including John M 120 Jacob was of German descendent, the son of an American Revolutionary War private. 121

The family farm, including the John M. Smith House, was passed down through Jacob and John’s descendants. In 2002, Robert and Ann Smith owned the farm Robert is the nephew of John Ewing Smith (grandson of John M ).

The John M. Smith House was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber of the Ohio Historical Society . The front porch had already been removed and the rear addition connecting the former smokehouse had already been completed by that time.

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends the John M. Smith House individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C. Under Criterion C, the John M. Smith House preserves sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance as a good example of a late nineteenth century , cross -shaped brick house in Logan County . Importantly, this house preserves its brick construction, wooden windows, stone lintels and sills, front doors, and cross -shaped plan The house is in its original location and is surrounded by agricultural fields. For these reasons, it retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance. While some of its associated barns and outbuildings are technically historic, they appear to have been heavily modified and non-historic buildings have been constructed on the property. As a result , the recommended NRHP boundary includes its front yard and drive as well as the John M. Smith House with an approximately 10foot radius to its sides and rear. Its associated barns and outbuildings would be outside the proposed NRHP boundary and Stantec recommends that they are not eligible for listing in the NRHP. Although John M. Smith was a wealthy gentleman f armer in Logan County, research did not identify him as a person of outstanding significance under Criterion B. Due to the loss and new construction of barns and outbuildings, the property does not appear to preserve sufficient historic integrity as a Logan County farmstead under Criterion A.

Effects: Adverse Effect

Stantec recommends that the Project is likely to result in an Adverse Effect to the John M. Smith House The John M. Smith House is located approximately 0. 24 miles (1,259 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. Due to the relatively flat topography and the openness of the rural landscape, the John M. Smith House would be likely to have visibility of the proposed solar panels within the Project Area to its east and northeast The construction of the solar panels to the east of the John M. Smith Ho use will create a visual intrusion into the rural landscape and will compromise the historic integrity of feeling, setting, and association of this historic property resulting in an Adverse Effect.

4.4.2 Rea Cemetery (LOG0065005, OGSID 6816)

Plate 12. Rea Cemetery , looking northwest .

Field Site Number: 28

Address: CR 13 (0.2 miles south of TR 79), De Graff, OH 43318

Lat/Long: 40.407384, - 83.932031

Date of Construction: ca. 1840

Narrative Description:

According to Findagrave.com, there are approximately 504 marked burials in this cemetery. 122 Death dates in the cemetery range from 1841 through 2022. A 1979 copy of the cemetery trustee records was later compiled in the Cemetery Records of Logan County Ohio and published by the Logan County Genealogical Society. 123

The cemetery is located along County Road 13 between the road and Brandywine Creek. The cemetery is oriented in a traditional east -west manner, is in overall good condition, and is well maintained. Some headstones have been placed in poured concrete footers to maintain their horizontal positions . Some footers are associated with single burials while other footers serve several burials

Buried in this cemetery are a relatively large number of early settlers of this area including Benjamin Harman Rea, Jr. (1804 – 1876) and his wife Ann Elwood Rea (1809 – 1876) who gave a portion of their land (FS 27) for creation of the cemetery . Benjamin was an Elder in the local Christian Church. He settled in the area in 1821 and remained there for the rest of his life 124

Other early Logan and Bloomfield Township early Euro -American settlers included the Hone and the Hoy families. Henry Hone (1813-1889) was born in Franklin County, Ohio, and purchased land in Logan County in 1835. He built a small log cabin in 1836 for himself and his wife Prudence A. Ogden (18171882). They had twelve children; many are buried in the cemetery including his son William Harrison Hone, a private in Company E of the 132 Ohio Infantry during the Civil War. 126 Philip Penn Hoy Jr. (18051858) was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Bloomfield Township sometime in the 1830s. He married Lucy Dauge Hoy (1810-1894) in 1828. They had five children, and several are buried in the cemetery. 127

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends the Rea Cemetery individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criteria Consideration D/Criterion A as a historic cemetery important due its early age and relatively high number of burials of early Logan County settlers The cemetery preserves its historic orientation, layout, and monuments. As many of the sites associated with these founding members of Logan County have likely been lost from the landscape, this cemetery is suspected to be the best representative resource of the lives of many of these settlers.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Rea Cemetery will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 1. 91 miles (10,099 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

4.4.3 McColly Covered Bridge (NRID 75001458)

Plate 16 McColly Covered Bridge, looking west.

Field Site Number: 32

Address: 9141 CR 13, De Graff, OH 43318

Lat/Long: 40.401033, -83.924004

Date of Construction: 1876

Narrative Description:

The McColly Covered Bridge is a single-span, open Howe Truss covered bridge carrying County Road 13 over the Great Miami River between Washington and Bloomfield Townships in Logan County. The bridge is 142 feet in length with a clear span of 134 feet over the river. It is 20 feet wide with an overhead clearance of 13 feet. The Howe Truss is designed with 13 horizontal panels and is 14 feet tall. The bridge has a simple frame gable roof , extending the length of the span, with asphalt shingles and exposed rafters beneath the eaves. The exterior of the bridge has painted board and batten siding on the sides and the open faces. On both sides of the bridge, the battens end towards the top of each elevation, exposing the bridge structure and allowing the circulation of air through the interior of the enclosed bridge. Each end of the bridge has a projected portal. The bridge rests on stone abutments at each end of the span and an additional pylon is located at the eastern end of the bridge. The stone has been faced and reinforced with concrete since its construction. The interior of the covered bridge has the exposed wood structure of the walls and roof, revealing the truss form. There are non-historic guard rails along both walls and the floor is heavy wood planks on a steel reinforced truss frame.

A Howe truss slightly resembles a Pratt truss, but the Howe diagonal web members are inclined toward the center of the span to form A -shapes. The vertical members are in tension, while the diagonal members are in compression, exactly opposite the structure of a Pratt truss. Patented in 1840 by William Howe, the truss type was considered an improvement to other forms of covered bridge designs at the

time. The vertical wood elements of the bridge were replaced with iron rods at an early point, which could be tightened over time as the bridge sagged after construction.

The covered bridge was constructed in 1876 by the Anderson, Green, and Company of Sidney, Ohio, and cost approximately $3,100 to complete. Its name was inspired by Nicholas McColly, an early settler in the area, who farmed near the bridge site. The McColly Covered Bridge was listed in the NRHP in 1975 (NRID 75001458) The bridge was rehabilitated in 2000 with a reinforced steel structural system in the floor, fireproof paint on the interior, concrete repairs to the stone abutments, and exterior paint. The work was completed by the Righter Company of Columbus, Ohio. 130 The Bickham Covered Bridge, also located in Logan County (Field Site 216), is of a similar smaller design and is not presently listed in the NRHP.

Eligibility and Integrity: Listed

Stantec recommends that the McColly Covered Bridge should remain Listed in the NRHP under Criterion C in the area of significance Engineering as a good example of a Howe Truss covered bridge 131 The McColly Covered Bridge was listed in the NRHP in 1975 (NRID 75001458). Although, in 2000, repairs and modifications were completed to maintain the bridge, the McColly Covered Bridge retains sufficient historic material and integrity to convey its engineering significance as a Howe Truss covered bridge. The McColly Covered Bridge is as important representative example of an increasingly rare bridge type. Although there were once hundreds of such bridges in Ohio , the total number had fallen to eighteen (18) by the time the nomination was submitted in the 1970s and is now estimated to be less than a dozen.

Effects: No Effect s

Stantec recommends that the McColly Covered Bridge will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 2.52 miles (13,283 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

Narrative Description:

This approximately 257-acre property contains the two -story brick Nancy Huber House (primary resource), a circa 1920 English barn with earthen ramp ; and a stock barn The Nancy Huber House is a circa 1865, common bond brick building with Italianate details and square massing . The house retains a low-pitched hip roof covered in asphalt shingles and it has two interior brick chimneys. Its fenestration is W-D -W with 1/1 double hung vinyl replacement windows retaining stone lintels and sills. The central front door has a non-historic 3/4-light storm door with a transom above. The house has a simple porch with four rounded posts on a poured concrete pad resting on a concrete block foundation; the posts support a flat roof creating a second floor balcony surrounded by a metal railing. The house rests on a continuous brick foundation. At the rear of the house is a two -bay , vinyl sided, garage addition with an asphalt shingle, g able oriented roof.

Southwest of the Nancy Huber House is the circa 1920 English barn with an earthen ramp , an attached milk house, and a metal paneled roof. East of the English Barn is the circa 1950 stock barn with a single overhead door and fixed picture window on its front elevation, and a front gable roof .

In a drawing in the 1875 Atlas of Logan County , original features of the Nancy Huber house are shown as well as numerous former barns and outbuildings which have since been demolished (Figure 10). In addition to the front porch previously described, the 1875 drawing of the Nancy Huber House shows that it had a paneled front door and 4/4 sash windows. Despite this, the house preserves many historic

character-defining features including its common bond brick construction method, interior brick chimneys, rooftop railing, and fenestration pattern.

Per the 1875 Atlas of Logan County , the house was owned by Nancy (nee Makemsom) Huber (18181901). Nancy was born in Logan County in 1818 to Thomas and Elizabeth (nee Wallace) Makemson, who were originally from Kentucky . Genealogical sources conflict on where Nancy was born either in Logan County or in Kentucky, where her parents were from. In 1837, Nancy married Manasses Huber (18061873) and they eventually had ten children. 132

Nancy’s husband , Manasses Huber, was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, the son of John and Margaret (nee Stottlemeir) Huber, who were of German descent . Genealogical sources also conflict on Manasses’ birthplace either Virginia or Kentucky although most agree on Virginia. Manasses’ father, John, died in 1827, and his widow, Margaret , came to Logan County in 1832, with six of her children, including Manasses. Margaret purchased a farm one mile east of DeGraff and made her home there until

her death in 1856. As a young man, Manasses assisted her in running and developing the family farm. Soon after his marriage, Mannasses purchased his own farm in Bloomfield Township, eventually developing it into a 720-acre farm along the Miami River; the federal government sold this land to Manasses as part of its encouragement of homesteading. 133 On this land, the Huber home was built 134 (Histories, such as the 1880 History of Logan County , indicate that the family home was built soon after the farm’s establishment, so the house may be older than 1865.) 135

The Huber family’s level of real estate success is apparent in federal censuses. They reveal that Manasses acquired a considerable amount of real estate before his death in 1873. In 1860, the census reports that he owned $12,000 in real estate and another $1,500 in personal assets a considerable amount in that era. 136 In 1870, he maintained that amount of wealth, according to that year’s census. 137

Genealogy records additionally document how the Hubers were prominent local citizens: Manasses was captain of the local militia, Logan County Light Horse Guard, and became affectionately known as Captain Huber thereafter. Both he and Nancy were active and influential members in their local Methodist Episcopal church which, during their lives , was in its early years. The Nancy Huber House was even used as a meeting house for church members 138

The Nancy Huber House was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber of the Ohio Historical Society. On the previous OHI form, the author noted that the original flat -roofed front porch had bracketed posts and a cast -iron cresting roof but that these features had been removed. The extant front porch and second -story balcony have since replaced these histo ric features. Also o n the previous OHI form, the associated English barn “west of the house” was referred to as a “bank barn,” however it is not truly banked into the grade. 139 Instead, the upper level is accessed by an earthen ramp .

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the Nancy Huber House is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C as a good example of an early vernacular brick hous e with Italianate details. Importantly, this house preserves its brick construction material, fenestration pattern, and overall form. The house is in its original location and is surrounded by agricultural fields. For these reasons, it retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance. As previously described, the property has lost numerous historic barns and outbuildings and those remaining have been heavily altered. As a result, the property does not appear to be eligible as a farmstead under Crit erion A. Although the Hubers were a wealthy farming family, research did not reveal outstanding significance under Criterion B.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Nancy Huber House will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 1. 21 miles (6, 369 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

4.4.5 Plum Cemetery and Mausoleum (LOG0065116, LOG0021316, OGSID 6944)

Field Site Number: 34, 35

Address: CR 54, Lewistown, OH 43333

Lat/Long: 40.421323, -83.917008

Date of Construction: ca. 1840

Narrative Description:

According to Findagrave.com, there are approximately 1,162 marked burials in this cemetery. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) drew plans of the cemetery and the mausoleum during the 1930s. 140 The cemetery’s trustee records, copied in 1980, were later compiled into the Cemetery Records of Logan County , Ohio and published by the Logan County Genealogical Society. 141 The cemetery has three sections with a central, circular section surrounded by a road. A 1914 mausoleum is located within the cemetery near the road. Death dates range from approximately 1840 through 2024. The well-maintained cemetery is oriented in a traditional east -west manner, is in overall good condition, and the headstones are in good condition.

Jonathan Plum, also spelled Plumb, (1808-1879), one of the earliest Euro -American settlers to Washington Township established the cemetery. Originally from West Viriginia, he moved to the township around 1839 and became one of the township’s trustees. He married Sallie Ann McKimmon, also spelled

McKinnon, in 1835 and they had nine children. 142 At the time of his death in 1879, he owned 1,600 acres of farmland and was one of the wealthiest farmers in the area. 143 Sallie’s father, William Harrison McKinnon (1789-1861), was also an early settler to the county, buried in Plum cemetery, a veteran of the War of 1812. 144 The cemetery’s earliest burial is the eight year old daughter of William Harrison McKinnon in 1840. Other early Logan and Washington Township early Euro -American settlers included the Shafer, Brunner, Archer, Wright, Thompson, Cherry, and the Duckworth families among others. Around 23 veterans are buried in the cemetery who served in the War of 1812, Civ il War, World War I, and World War II. Several veterans served in Company K of the 57th Ohio Infantry during the Civil War. Also belonging to this unit was 2nd Lieutenant John A. Plum (1840-1864), killed in action at the Battle of Resaca, Georgia. 145

Based on the date inscribed in the block set in its façade, cemetery records for Harrison, Union, and Washington Townships , and a count of the memorials in Findagrave.com for the Plum Cemetery , the Plum Cemetery Mausoleum was built in 1914 and was designed to house approximately 32 families. This mausoleum is a structural stone building with a generally square plan terminating in an apse. It is built of mortared cut stone with a rusticated texture The mausoleum is characterized by a flat roof with stone crenellation, and a central entrance flanked by Tuscan columns resting on stone bases. A recessed stone panel reading “1914” is located above the entrance door. A stone stoop provides access to the recessed metal, double door. A former transom above the entrance and two former window openings in the apse have been infilled with stone.

The Plum Cemetery Mausoleum was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber of the Ohio Historical Society. The previous OHI form indicates that the mausoleum is “. . . a lovely example of Egyptian Revival architecture,” although the Egyptian Revival elements are not apparent. Instead, the mausoleum appears to be a unique interpretation drawing from several revival styles which would have been popular at this time including its generally Romanesque Revival style with Classical Revival entrance and Tudor Revival crenellation The 1984 OHI form also notes its “elaborate stained glass windows.” It is possible the former stained glass windows were later vandalized, leading to the eventual infill of the window openings with stone. The previous OHI form for the mausoleum and did not record the cemetery itself . Although this is the case, the previous OHI form for the mausoleum did indicate that “A number of old and new graves are located to the north and west of the structure. ” 146 The form also indicates that there is an “identical” mausoleum in Mt. Tabor Cemetery in Gutman, Auglaize County, and future research may identify that a local builder constructed both mausoleums. For the purposes of this report, based on guidance from the OH-SHPO, Stantec requested a new OHI number for Plum Cemetery (LOG0065116). Stantec also references the existing OGSID number for Plum Cemetery (6944) and the existing OHI number for the Plum Cemetery Mausoleum (LOG0021316) which has been individually recorded within the cemetery.

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends the Plum Cemetery I ndividually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criteria Consideration D/Criterion A as a historic cemetery significant due to its early age and relatively high number of burials of early Logan County settlers . The cemetery preserves its historic orientation, layout, and monuments. As many of the sites associated with these earliest members of Washington Township have likely been lost from the landscape, this cemetery is suspected to be the best representative resource of the lives of many of these settlers. The recommended NRHP boundary is the cemetery boundary with an additional buffer of at least 100 feet on all sides. Additionally, Stantec also recommends that the Plum Cemetery Mausoleum is individually Eligible for listing under Criteria Consideration D/Criterion C as a unique example of revival style funerary architecture drawing from the Romanesque Revival, Classical Revival, and Tudor Revival styles Although the Plum Cemetery Mausoleum has experienced the unsympathetic infill of its former transom and apse window openings, the building has retained its character-defining features such as its inscribed stone date block, Classical Revival entrance, square form with apse, crenellation, stone construction material, and fenestration. Thus, it has retained sufficient historic integrity to convey its architectural significance. Research did not identify people of outstanding significance buried in the cemetery and, as such, it is not recommended eligible under Criteria Consideration D/Criterion B.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Plum Cemetery and Mausoleum will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 1. 24 miles (6, 561 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

Lat/Long: 40.449364, -83.994124

Date of Construction: ca. 1885

Narrative Description:

This 3.5-acre property includes the Pence B arn, a 1.5 story front gable house, equipment barn, shed, garage, and chicken coop. Although the associated front gable house is also historic, the Pence barn was recorded as the primary resource, and this is how its OHI number was assigned The Pence Barn is a circa 1885, English barn with a side gable corrugated metal roof, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding. There are two sliding doors, and one is accessed by an earthen and stone ramp. Lean-to additions are found on the western and southern elevations, and another rear addition has a gable roof. There are two louvered openings with decorative trim. The foundation has been reinforced with concrete on the northern elevation. A sign affixed to the eastern elevation reads “Maddox & Sons 1885.”

Located southeast of the barn is the circa 1870 front gable house. The house is clad in vinyl siding and has a front gable roof covered with asphalt shingles. There is a brick interior slope chimney. The house features 1/1 vinyl windows flanked by faux vinyl shutters. A small portico front gable porch is supported by wooden brackets. At the rear are several additions including a one-story shed roof addition and two gable roof additions which have been present at least since 1957. In fact, these additions may connect previously separate outbuildings such as a summer kitchen. A brick chimney is located in between the two gable roof additions.

S outhwest of the Pence Barn is a single story , metal-clad equipment barn with a gable roof covered in asphalt shingles S outhwest of the Pence Barn and east of the equipment barn is a single story shed with a round arch metal roof. The exterior is clad in wooden clapboards. S outhwest of the barn is a stable that appears to have been converted into a one-bay garage. It has a front gable corrugated metal roof, a shed roof addition, and the exterior is clad in metal siding. To the west of the barn is a frame chicken coop with a s hed roof. The exterior appears to be clad with horizontal wooden siding.

According to the 1875 Combination Atlas Map of Logan County , James A. Pence (1836-1893) owned the property then. The 1875 map shows the house in its current location with an orchard at its rear. No barn is shown on this property or any others in 1875. It is likely that Pence built the existing barn around 1885 147 James A. Pence and his wife Amanda (b. 1838) farmed the property with their nine children and with two laborers who lived and worked on the property. 148 James A. Pence’s 1893 will indicates that he leaves his “. . . beloved wife Amanda the farm we now live upon known as the Davis Farm situate in the Township of Stokes, County of Logan, and State of Ohio . . ..” 149 Unfortunately, available historic map ping is too late to confirm either a Davis ownership or any buildings that might have been present at that time. The property passed to the Maddox family sometime after Pence’s death in 1893.

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the Pence Barn and Maddox Farmstead is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A as a good example of a late nineteenth century farmstead in Logan County preserving the relationship between its historic house and a historic barn built relatively soon after. It is also suspected that the house preserves at least one historic outbuilding, possibly a summer kitchen, which has been incorporated through subsequent historic additions. Stantec also recommends that the Pence Barn is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C as a good example of an English barn preserving its side gable orientation, louvers, and earthen ramp Although the Pence Barn has had experienced some modifications over time, these have been relatively sympathetic and, as such, the Pence Barn retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance as a good example of a late nineteenth century Logan County English Barn. Research did not reveal that James A. Pence was an outstanding person beyond being a farmer in Logan County and, as such, the Pence Barn and Maddox Farmstead is not recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion B.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Pence Barn will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 0.55 miles (2, 929 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation. As it relates to intervening buildings, there are approximately six existing non-historic houses on “piano key” lots fronting on CR 23 which have intruded upon the viewshed of the Pence Barn, with one as close as 0.15 miles to the southeast.

According to the 1875 Atlas, “J.J. Wright ” owned the property and, although a house and orchards were shown to the southwest, the current house was not yet indicated. 150 According to the 1890 Atlas Map of Logan County , “Jo s.

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends the Joseph J. Wright Farmstead individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A and Criterion C. Under Criterion A , the Joseph J. Wright Farmstead is a good example of the evolution of a Logan County farmstead from the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century as farming changed over time The Joseph J. Wright Barn, along with the other buildings comprising the farmstead, is in its original location and surrounded by agricultural fields. Under Criterion C, the Joseph J. Wright barn is a good example of a late nineteenth century English barn in Logan County The John J. Wright Barn preserves its distinctive patterned slate roof with cupola and cross gable. The barn retains its exterior siding, louvered openings, roof form, and historic fenestration. Even the historic addition of its structural clay tile milking parlor, likely added along with the silo in the early twentieth century for dairy use, contributes to the story of the evolution of farming on the Wright farmstead

Effects: Adverse Effect

Stantec recommends that the Project is likely to result in an Adverse Effect to the Joseph J. Wright Farmstead The Project Area borders the west, south, and east property lines of the Joseph J. Wright Farmstead within about 0.06 miles (336 feet) of the Joseph J. Wright House. Although the property is somewhat screened by existing trees at its edges, many of those trees are deciduous, especially at the west side of the parcel. Due to the proximity and the relatively flat topography and the openness of the rural landscape, the Joseph J. Wright Farmstead would have visibility of the proposed solar panels within the Project Area The construction of the solar panels to the west, south, and east of the Joseph J. Wright Farmstead will create a visual intrusion into the rural landscape and will compromise the historic integrity of feeling, setting, and association of this historic property resulting in an Adverse Effect.

This window has wood en tracery and leaded stained glass.

A two -story belltower clad in vinyl siding is located where the two gable-roof masses join the façade vestibule. The bell tower base served as the original entry vestibule prior to construction of the current gable-oriented vestibule. The bell tower has a pent roof clad in fish scale asphalt shingles. Louvered vents extend above the pent roof. The pyramidal roof of the bell tower is steeply pitched and is clad in fish scale asphalt shingles. The bell tower and vestibule both have a single narrow window on the northeast elevation. The vestibule window appears to be multi-light casement; the belltower window has leaded stained glass. The northeast gable of the primary mass of the church has an arched window identical to the one on the façade, with wood tracery and leaded stained glass. The window is flanked by narrow windows that have leaded stained glass.

A two -story , gable-oriented addition is attached to the northwest elevation of the church by a two -story hyphen. The hyphen is clad in vinyl siding. The addition is clad in brick veneer on the first level, and vinyl on the second. It has a pedestrian door on the northeast elevation. The roof of the addition is clad in asphalt shingles.

Lewistown United Methodist Church was established in the 1830s. Its first church was built in 1853; however, the existing church replaced the first church in 1894. The building cost $3,600 to construct and many of the stained glass windows were funded by church members as memorials. The vestibule was added to the front of the church in 1970. As the church continued to grow and offer additional services such as weddings and funerals more room became necessary. In 1975, the fellowship hall and school rooms fo r Sunday school were added to the rear of the church to accommodate additional events and support the growing church. In 2002, the Lewistown United Methodist Church merged with the Lakeview Trinity United Methodist Church, creating the Lewistown-Trinity United Methodist Church. Although much smaller today, the church continues to be active in the area, supporting the homeless via the Lighthouse Homeless Shelter in Bellefontaine as well as helping the local pregnancy center and Alzheimer patients in their area. In 2020, the church was awarded the West Ohio United Methodist Rural Advocates William B. Murray Vital Church Award, “for a rural church worshiping less than 100 that displays passionate worship, radical hospitality, risk -taking service and mission, ex travagant generosity, and faith-forming relationships.” 154

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

The Lewistown-Trinity Methodist Church is recommended individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C as a good example of a late nineteenth century rural church. Although it has been somewhat modified through later additions and the removal of architectural ornamentation, the building has preserved its character-defining features such as its bell tower with steeply pitched pyramidal roof, pent roof, louvered vents , arched stained glass windows , and roof finials. Following the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards , the substantial 1975 rear fellowship hall and clas sroom building addition is visually separated and differentiated from the original church building through its hyphen and its partial brick veneer siding 156 Additionally, the hyphen facilitates the removal of the addition in the future, if desired, without damaging the historic integrity of the original church building.

Effects: No Effect s

Stantec recommends that the Lewistown-Trinity United Methodist Church will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 1.34 miles (7,070 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area.

Lat/Long: 40.442970, -83.804094

Date of Construction: ca. 1852

Narrative Description:

This property contains the 2.5-story Bimel Hotel building (primary resource) which has been adaptively reused as a house The Bimel Hotel building was constructed circa 1852 and has Greek Revival details On the façade of the two story portion of the building, the west/ right three bays are running bond ; the east/ left three bays are eight course common bond . The façade of the single story portion at the far east, suspected to be an early addition, is also common bond and its header rows appear to align with the header rows of the adjacent common bond section of the two -story portion of the house. The house retains its side gable roof covered in metal. Its fenestration is W-W-W-D -W-D -W-W. Its windows are 2/2 double hung sashes with wooden lintels and sills. There are two front doors on the façade, each with a non-historic 2/3-light storm door. The front door at the east side of the façade appears shorter than the other, with its lintel lower than nearby window lintels; the lintel for the front door on the west side of the façade is horizontally aligned with nearby window lintels but also appears to be somewhat altered (infilled or shortened slightly). A low-pitched , hip roof porch with square-sided wood en supports and decorative brackets extends across the first floor of the two story portion of the building . The house rests on a cut stone foundation.

of H. Shafer, and in this now entertains the traveling public.” “H. Shafer” was a merchant from the nearby village of Cherokee who, around 1850, moved to Huntsville with his business . In addition to constructing a frame building for that business, he built the house that Bimel purchased. 157

John Bimel (1831-1901) was a German immigrant whose family hailed from Bavaria. They immigrated in 1835, when he was four years old, and he spent the rest of his life in Logan County, Ohio. While John received no formal education, he carved a business and political path for himself that landed him on Huntsville’s town council, as Justice of the Peace, Judge of Elections, and eventually mayor of Huntsville the post he was in when he died in 1901. 158 John was married to Margaret Jane (nee Loughridge) and had two children with her, Flora (1861-1948) and Clem (1863-1945). 159

John operated his hotel from around 1880 (if not earlier) until his death. 160 Its operation as an inn continued after that, though; in 1906, t he building suffered a fire, as did the rest of Huntsville, and it was noted in local news at the time that Bimel’s was still operating as an inn. 161

The Bimel Hotel has been previously recorded in 1984. The previous OHI form indicated that the hotel “is reported to have been built in three sections (as the brick work indicates).” 162 The previous OHI f orm incorrectly lists the hotel as the “Bimmel” Hotel it should be Bimel.)

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the Bimel Hotel is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A and Criterion C. Under Criterion A, the Bimel Hotel is significant for its association with the patterns of village development in Logan County , demonstrating early settlement and commerce as well as the subsequent need for roadside inns to house travelers. Under Criterion C, the Bimel Hotel is a good representative example of nineteenth-century Vernacular architecture. While it has experienced changes over time, the Bimel Hotel preserves its brick construction, fenestration, front porch, stone foundation, and its overall form. The building is in its original location, in the heart of the Village of Huntsville. For these reasons, it retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Bimel Hotel will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 1.86 miles (9, 827 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

4.4.10 Johnathan and Sarah Woodward House (LOG0011218)

Plate 37. House, looking northwest.

Field Site Number: 191

Address: 6437 Lima Street, Huntsville, OH 43324

Lat/Long: 40.439685, -83.805585

Date of Construction: ca. 1866

Narrative Description:

This 0.3-acre property contains the 2.5 story , brick , Johnathan and Sarah Woodward House. The circa 1866 Federal style, brick house has an asphalt shingle, side gable roof. The house is characterized by a full-length front porch with Doric columns and a shed roof. Its fenestration is W-W-D -W-W, and the windows are 1/1 vinyl sash with limestone sills and lintels. The wooden glazed entrance door has a transom window above and is flanked by sidelights. On the northern elevation is a single story , vinyl sided garage addition with a side gable, asphalt shingle roof. It has a garage door and a secondary glazed entrance.

1804) and they had six children, including two additional children from Sarah’s first marriage. Woodward sold his grist mill and retired to the subject property and farm outside of Huntsville. 165

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the Johnathan and Sarah Woodward House is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C. The house is significant as a good example of a mid -nineteenth century Logan County Federal style house. The house is in its original location and has preserved its characterdefining features including its brick construction, main entrance, porch, roof type, and fenestration. For these reasons, the house retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance. Research did not reveal that Johnathan or Sarah Woodward had outstanding significance under Criterion B . Additionally, the house has lost its associated outbuildings and, as such, is no longer a good example of a Logan County farmstead under Criterion A.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Johnathan and Sarah Woodward House will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 2.07 miles (10,949 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

4.4.11 Bickham Covered Bridge (LOG0064702)

Plate 39. Bickham Covered Bridge, looking north.

Field Site Number: 216

Address: CR 38 between SR 366 and CR 98, Belle Center, OH 43310

Lat/Long: 40.474293, -83.840450

Date of Construction: 1877

Narrative Description:

The Bickham Covered Bridge is a single span, open Howe Truss covered bridge carrying County Road 38 over the Great Miami River in Richland Township , Logan County. The bridge is 98 feet in length with a clear span of 90 feet over the river. It is 20 feet wide with an overhead clearance of 13 feet. The bridge has a simple frame gable roof clad in metal panels , extending the length of the span, with exposed rafters beneath the eaves. The exterior of the bridge has painted board and batten siding on the sides and the open faces. On both sides of the bridge, the battens end towards the top of each elevation, exposing the bridge structure and allowing the circulation of air through the interior of the enclosed bridge. Each end of the bridge has a projected portal. The bridge rests on two stone abutments. The stone has been faced and reinforced with concrete since its construction. The interior of the covered bridge has the exposed wood structure of the walls and roof, revealing the truss form. There are non-historic guard rails along both walls and the floor is heavy wood planks on a steel reinforced truss frame. Much like the NRHPlisted McColly Covered Bridge (FS 32), the Bickham Covered Bridge has a Howe Truss design. The Bickham Covered B ridge was constructed along the Miami Valley Pike Road in 1877 by the Smith Bridge Company of Toledo, Ohio, and cost $2,315. The bridge was repaired after significant flooding in 1913 and renovated in the 1950s to account for vehicular traffic. It was rehabilitated in 2002 by the Righter Company of Columbus, Ohio. In 2013, Federal funding through the National Historic Covered Bridge Program permitted work on the bridge that included staining, interior fireproofing, lighting

Historic Architectural Reconnaissance Survey

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the Bickham Covered Bridge is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C in the area of significance Engineering as a fine example of a nineteenth-century wood Howe Truss covered bridge in Logan County. Stantec recommends a period of significance of 1877, the year the bridge was constructed. The bridge was constructed in 1877 to span the Great Miami River and has been operational along a rural county road ever since. While there have been changes to the bridge ov er time, repairing, maintaining, and reinforcing its structural system, the structure retains its integrity of location, setting, association, feeling, design, materials, and workmanship. The Bickham Covered Bridge is one of only two such structures in Logan County and one of the few remaining in Ohio. The NRHPlisted McColly Covered Bridge (FS 32), also in Logan County, is of a similar design and shares a remarkably similar history ; it was listed in the NRHP in 1975.

Effects: Adverse Effect

Stantec recommends that the Project is likely to result in an Adverse Effect to the Bickham Covered Bridge. This property is located approximately 0. 3 miles (1, 593 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. The Project is anticipated to have minimal visibility from the Bickham Covered Bridge due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation. The Project is only a little over a quarter mile from the covered bridge and many of the intervening trees appear to be deciduous. At certain times of year, there could be minor visibility of the Project from the covered bridge As a result, the Project will create a visual intrusion into the rural landscape and will compromise the historic integrity of feeling, setting, and association of this historic property resulting in an Adverse Effect.

4.4.12 First District Richland Township Schoolhouse (LOG0064802)

Field Site Number: 252

Address: 7598 County Road 98, Belle Center, OH 43310

Lat/Long: 40.476363, - 83.84213

Date of Construction: 1909

Narrative Description:

This 0.4-acre parcel includes the First District Richland Township Schoolhouse which has been adaptively reused as a house. The 1.5 story building is clad in brick laid in seven course common bond. The fenestration is W-D -W, with 1/1 windows. The building has a central, hip roof front porch with a brick arch opening. The front porch is partially enclosed with brick sidewalls and is accessed by poured concrete steps. A stone plaque is set into the façade directly above the porch and reads, “First District Richland Township A.D. 1909.” Both side elevations of the house have three window bays that have been partially infilled with wood to accommodate non-historic sashes. The window openings feature brick jack arches with keystones and stone sills. Both side elevations have basement windows featuring brick jack arches with keystones. The roof is gable oriented and is clad in asphalt shingles. The roof has exposed rafter tails and a carved wood vergeboard. A brick chimney is located near the north end of the ridgeline.

One-room brick schoolhouses were commonly constructed beginning in the late nineteenth century throughout Ohio. Edgar A. Ridder, an author of a publication on landmarks in the nearby county of Champaign, explains that during this period the most common school was the “’little red brick’ sub -district one-room schoolhouse.” Ridder indicates that these were rectangular, 24-foot x 30-foot buildings with stone lintels and sills, stone foundations, slate roofs, and three windows on each side. He indicates that “A lthough there was no master building plan, they all looked remarkably alike and are easily

recognized.” 167 Ridder also indicates that, after the 1892 Boxwell Law beginning the centralization and consolidation of schools in Ohio which continued later, “. . . the townships began building multi-room, multi-story brick and frame structures and the little red brick s were doomed. Ridder indicates that, by 1917, all the nineteenth century brick schoolhouses had been abandoned.” 168

The First District Richland Township Schoolhouse is shown as “School No. 1” in this location on the 1915 USGS Topographic Map. 169

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the First District Richland Township Schoolhouse is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A as a good representative example of a schoolhouse reflecting the period in Ohio educational history after the significant 1851 Ohio Constitutional reorganization (passed into law through the Act of March 14, 1853). This organized school districts and boards of education at the township level with local sub -districts beneath them and spurred township trustees to lay off districts “. . . in the manner best calculated for the convenience of the inhabitants and to prom ote the interests of common schools.” 170 Through at least 1850, school districts had been organized in several different ways based on a hodgepodge of laws. As such, another requirement of the 1853 educational legislation was that, unless school districts were organized under the 1847 Akron Law (extended in 1849) or similar previous educational legislation, “Cities or incorporated villages of 300 inhabitants or more,” were created as separate school districts. 171 Existing and new school districts had been forced to rely on a fund established from the county commissioners’ lease and sales of drained, granted “swamp and overflow lands” and on local property taxes. 172 From 1853 forward, “common schools” were supported through a state tax which was envisioned to create more equitable educational opportunities in Ohio’s rural school districts. 173 Although that was the case, this approach was challenged in later years because, in practice, the state still relied heavily on local property taxes to fund school districts. 174 Although the schoolhouse preserves sufficient historic significance to convey its educational significance under Criterion A, it has been somewhat modified architecturally for its adaptive reuse as a house and would need further investigation to better und erstand whether it retains sufficient historic integrity under Criterion C. Under Criterion B, research did not uncover an association with people of outstanding significance.

Effects: No Effect s

Stantec recommends that the First District Richland Township Schoolhouse will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 0.44 miles (2, 318 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

Field Site Number: 326

Address: 12844 CR 87 Lewistown, OH, 43331

Lat/Long: 40.499137, -83.944204

Date of Construction: ca. 1880

Narrative Description:

This 120-acre property includes a circa 1880 English barn, Ranch style house, non-historic barn, nonhistoric workshop , and non-historic outbuilding Although the associated Ranch house is historic, the English barn was originally surveyed as the primary resource and, thus, Stantec has maintained its status as the primary resource. The English barn has a side gable, asphalt shingle, diamond patterned roof, and the exterior is clad in wooden clapboards. There are two sliding doors and windows are fixed wooden sash with four lights. In the gable is a louvered opening. A shed roof addition is attached to the eastern elevation. The foundation is rusticated concrete block.

To the west of the English barn is a one story circa 1950 Ranch style brick veneer house. 175 This house is characterized by a metal, side gable roof. The fenestration pattern is W-W-D -W-W, and the windows are casement style metal or vinyl windows. A car port on the eastern elevation has square-sided, brick veneer supports To the rear of the Ranch house is a non-historic outbuilding which could not be photographed or accessed for further information. The non-historic outbuilding was built between 1981 and 1994.

Northwest of the English barn is a circa 1982, single story metal barn with a front gable, metal roof. There are s liding metal doors on its front and side elevations. The foundation is concrete slab with a wooden water table.

Just west of the single story metal barn is a circa 1990, single story frame workshop with a front gable asphalt shingle roof. Exterior cladding consists of wooden vertical beadboard siding and aluminum siding. A full-length front porch with square-sided supports is recessed under the roof. The workshop is two bays wide and features a 2/2 wooden sash window. The foundation is concrete slab and concrete block.

According to the 1875 Combination Atlas Map of Logan County, W.B. & R.J. Morris owned this property, but no buildings were indicated in the location of the existing English barn. 176 According to the 1890 Atlas Map of Logan County , N. Gross owned this 20-acre property 177 A building is shown on the property near the road at that time, but it likely indicated a former historic house that is no longer extant. Since barns do not appear to be indicated on the 1890 map, it is assumed the barn was built at about the same time as the former house. Research did not reveal additional information about N. Gross.

This property was previously recorded in 1997 (reviewed and entered in 1998) by the ASC Group, Inc. as the “Maag Property ” with an alternate name of the “Morris -Gross Property .” 178

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the English barn is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C as a good representative example of a late nineteenth century English barn in Logan County . The barn has preserved its character-defining features including side gable orientation, asphalt shingle diamond patterned roof, wooden clapboards, louvered opening, and rusticated concrete block foundation. The property has experienced both the loss of historic buildings and the construction of non-historic barns and outbuilding s. A s a result, the Morris -Gross Property is not recommended eligible as a farmstead under Criterion A. Under Criterion B, research did not reveal that N. Gross was a person of outstanding significance.

Effects: No Effects

Stantec recommends that the Morris -Gross Property will experience No Effects from the Project.

4.4.14 Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge (LOG0007716)

Field Site Number: 332

Address: North of State Road 366 at Indian Lake and Russells Point Harbor

Lat/Long: 40.472991, -83.894497

Date of Construction: ca. 1924

Narrative Description:

The Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge extends across Russells Point Harbor. The bridge is a single span, riveted, arched steel truss structure that is anchored with concrete piers. The bridge was constructed in 1924 reportedly for $15,000. It was constructed by a father and son who were investors in the area, Samuel and French Wilgus. When it was erected, t he bridge served as a connection for pedestrians traveling between the Sandy Beach Amusement Park to the east and restaurants, etc. to the west. The amusement park closed in the early 1970s and the bridge was closed soon after. In the 1980s, the original bridge decking was removed due to deterioration and potential safety risks. The bridge structure remained as development in the area increased around the recreational use of Indian Lake.

In 2009 a group of locals, including the Indian Lake Area Historical Society, began assessing the feasibility of reopening the bridge. Fundraising began in 2010 and by 2014, the refurbished bridge with new decking was reopened to the public. The reopening of the bridge reportedly saw the biggest crowd in Russells Point since the amusement park was active. The bridge was dedicated as the Sandy Beach Bridge on August 23, 2014. The current walkways, benches, and historical markers along the approaches to the b ridge were also dedicated at this time as the William and Marjorie Reed Memorial Walkway. 179

The Sandy Beach Amusement Park opened in December 1924. It had a wooden roller coaster, a train, a tilt -a-whirl, and other rides. On the west side of the harbor, the Plaza Hotel and several dance halls drew visitors from afar. One of the most popular spots was the Minnewawa Dance Hall, considered a prime venue within the Midwest due to its size. The Minnewawa could accommodate two bandstands and hundreds of dancing couples. In addition to several dance halls that attracted entertainment legends including Rudy Vallee, Guy Lombardo, and Lawrence Welk, the area eventually offered excursion boats, public beaches, and drinking and dining establishments. The amusement park area became known as “Ohio’s Million Dollar Playground.” 180 By 1930, there were numerous pleasure boats and speed boats plying the waters of Indian Lake. Visitors could pay to ride in a boat around the lake or rent a rowboat to fish or take excursions. The Plaza Show Boat, while not actually a boat, was a “nautical themed night club” at the west side of the harbor that offered cabaret and dining. 181

The wooden Minnewawa Dance Hall burned to the ground in 1935 and was never rebuilt. This was a huge loss to the area, but the Moonlight Terrace Gardens pavilion was constructed soon after, providing an outdoor dance venue. During the 1940s and 50s, the Sandy Beach Amusement Park and its associated establishments began to decline in popularity. Following World War II commercial excursion boats became less popular as more people attained their own watercrafts for pleasure. Fewer people came to the area wanting to invest in the park.

According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR), in 1967, Sandy Beach Amusement Park was renamed Indian Lake Playland , however, it could not compete with Cedar Grove, “Ohio’s trendy new theme park.” According to the Ohio DNR, Indian Lake Playland (formerly Sandy Beach Amusement Park) was closed on Decoration Day 1976 and the rides and concessions were demolished a few years later. 182 Due to the loss of Sandy Beach Amusement Park, the extant bridge remains significant to the community. French Wilgus (1887-1950) died at age 64 and his obituary noted that he “. . .broke ground in 1925 for a roller coaster and the well-known excursion boat, The Chief,” referring to him as a Bellefontaine native who had started a grocery business at Russells Point in 1906. He eventually built the Plaza Hotel, the Boardwalk, Danceland, and the Old Vienna Gardens. 183 French was married twice – first to Lenola Hand Wilgus and later to D. Ruth Wilgus. They had one child, Evelyn Juanita Stone. 184 Samuel Lister Wilgus (1854-1951), known as “Pappy,” was a native of Logan County and a Lakeview area businessperson. Along with his son, French, he built Sandy Beach Amusement Park. Samuel Lister Wilgus was married to Ernestine J. “Erna” Painter Wilgus in 1881, and they had two child ren, Nellie and French. 185 Samuel Lister Wilgus died at age 96 and his obituary referred to him as a “civic leader at Lakeview in the resort area,” and “pioneer in the development of the Indian Lake resort area . . ..” 186

The Sunset Beach Amusement Park B ridge was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber and, at that time, was considered endangered by neglect. The previous OHI form indicated that the bridge was significant as the last physical remains of the popular amusement park. 187

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

Stantec recommends that the Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge is individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A and Criterion B. Under Criterion A , the bridge has a significant association with the early twentieth century growth of the Lakeview area, which contributed to the development of Russells Point and Indian Head Lake. In addition to the bridge, Samuel and French Wilgus owned land on the east and west sides of the harbor. They, along with others created an amusement park on the east side. The bridge is the only built public resource remaining from the amusement park and remains of importance to the community. The bridge serves as a symbol of the prosperity of the early twentieth century when Russells Point was considered a destination and “Ohio’s Million Dollar Playground. ” Under Criterion B, due to the demolition of the remainder of Sandy Beach Amusement Park, the bridge now serves as the best association with the productive lives of Samuel and French Wilgus, locally significant investors, developers, and businesspeople. Per his obituary, Samuel Lister Wilgus was known a “civic leader” and “pioneer” for his work developing the resort at Indian Lake area.

Although the bridge retains sufficient historic integrity to convey its significance under Criterion A, it has been somewhat modified through the replacement of its decking. As a result, it does not appear to merit architectural or engineering significance under Criterion C.

Effects: No Effect s

Stantec recommends that the Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 0.75 miles (3, 967 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

The Donut Shop & Bakery on the Lake (LOG0064916)

Plate 55 The Donut Shop, looking southwest.

Field Site Number: 333

Address: 121 E. Main Street, Russells Point, OH 43348

Lat/Long: 40.472274, - 83.895419

Date of Construction: ca. 1960

Narrative Description:

This parcel contains a commercial donut shop and an associated sign. The parcel is located between E. Main Street and US Route 33. The one-story shop has a flat roof, with an overhanging eave on the northeastern elevation. The eave has a shallow pent roof that is clad in asphalt shingles. The northeastern elevation eave overhang provides shelter for the walkup service windows on that elevation. The northeastern elevation is divided into 18 windows; the center two windows hold double-hung sashes that operate as service windows for selling donuts and ice cream. The remaining windows appear to have fixed single-light sashes. The northwest, southeast , and southwest elevations of the building are clad in brick veneer. The northwest elevation has one single-light window near the eave on the south end of the elevation. The southeast elevation has two single-leaf doors. A flat -roof awning extends from the east elevation to shelter a poured concrete patio. The patio is accessible by a concrete ramp and steps; both have metal handrails. The awning is supported by square metal columns. The southwest elevation of the building has three single-light windows near the eave and one pedestrian door that is centered on the elevation.

A neon sign for the establishment is located west of the building within the parking lot. It is square with neon surrounding the word “Donuts ” A metal arch lined with individual light bulbs extends above the

square spanning through a metal sculpture that is shaped to resemble a donut. The sign is supported by a round steel pole.

According to RoadsideArchitecture.com, this sign was one of two created in 1969 for Hinkle Donuts. The donuts on the sign were created using a truck tire inner tube as a mold. After Hinkle’s business es failed in 1973, the signs destined for the Lima and Lakeview locations were acquired and re-purposed for MelloCreme Donuts. The Lakeview sign was later again repurposed with lettering for “The Donut Shop.” 191

Eligibility and Integrity: Eligible

The Donut Shop, including its associated neon sign, is recommended individually Eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A for its association with the development of mid twentieth century transportation and commerce in Logan County . As explained in “Ohio Modern: Preserving Our Recent Past Statewide Historic Context, “as home and automobile ownership increased, so did the American travel industry. With increased travel on America’s roadways, motels (or “motor-courts”), service statio ns, and restaurants opened to cater to the needs of travelers. Typically located on the outside of major cities and towns along newly constructed federal-aid highways, transportation-related buildings of the 1950s through 1970s had a distinctly modern feel in design and architecture.” 193

The Donut Shop, like other restaurants during the post -World War II period aligns with one of the three types identified within the Ohio Modern Context the walk -up. According to the context, “walk -up or ‘stand’ establishments were composed of a small rectangular building with large windows for serving customers but no indoor seating; this was a popular choice for hamburger and ice cream stands.” 194

With its small rectangular footprint, its modern design with little embellishment and sleek exterior, and its service window façade, The Donut Shop features the character defining features of a mid twentieth century roadside walk -up. The building’s locatio n and appearance as well as the pole mounted neon sign attracted automobile travelers passing through the area on E. Main Street and US Route 33. In addition, the walk -up provided a convenience to pedestrians who walked from Russells Point Harbor across E. Main Street.

Although The Donut Shop & Baker on the Lake retains sufficient integrity to convey significance under Criterion A, it has been somewhat modified architecturally with the addition of the side patio and awning. As a result, it does not appear to merit significance under Criterion C for its architecture. Under Criterion B, research did not uncover an association with people of outstanding significance.

Effects: No Effect s

Stantec recommends that The Donut Shop & Baker on the Lake will experience No Effects from the Project. This property is located approximately 0. 7 miles (3, 692 feet) from the nearest point of the Project Area. There should be no visibility of the Project due to distance, intervening buildings, and vegetation.

4.5 Project Effects

Table 4-1 summarizes the 15 properties described in Sections 4.4.1 through 4.4. 15 Most of these properties are distant from the Project Area; however, there are a few eligible resources that are closer including one that is located just outside the Project Area. For most of these eligible resources, distance and screening from intervening buildings and vegetation avoids potential effects from the Project , as presently designed. Several of these eligible resources (FS 7, 146, and 216) will have some visibility of the Project due to the relatively level topography and minimal amount of existing vegetative screening in those portions of the APE. The potential effects summarized below are based on the current Project Area and draft panel placement but may change as refinements occur to the area that will house the actual panels

5 Summary and Recommendations

In response to a request from Grange Solar, Stantec conducted a historic architectural reconnaissance survey prior to the proposed Grange Solar Grazing Center in Logan County, Ohio This survey recorded 374 properties, of which one historic property is recommended to retain sufficient historic integrity to remain listed in the NRHP, 14 properties are recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP , and four properties are recommended to retain an undetermined NRHP status due to insufficient access for photos b ut are not expected to be either directly or indirectly impacted by the Project . The remainder of the properties are recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP. As can be seen in Table 4-1 in Section 4.5, Stantec recommends that this P roject will have an Adverse Effect on three historic properties, as it is currently designed. If the Project Area increases or the panel placement changes , the effects analysis should be revisited

This resource was previously surveyed in 2016. At that time the spillway was a poured concrete ogee- style spillway . The survey was completed prior to replacement of the spillway in 2018. T he current 700- foot weir spillway replaced the original one. The previous survey also concluded that the existing dam “does not date to the original Lewistown Reservoir . The current components are related to improvements for the continued use of Indian Lake State Park during the twentieth century.” As a result, the dam is r ecommended not eligible, due to a lack of historic integrity.

Present Name(s): Sandy Beach Bridge

Historic or Other Name(s): Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge

Narrative Description: (note changes to property since original OHI was completed)

The Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge extends across Russells Point Harbor. The bridge is a single span, riveted, arched steel truss structure that is anchored with concrete piers. The bridge was constructed in 1924 reportedly for $15,000. It was constructed by a father and son who were investors in the area, Samuel and French Wilgus. When it was erected, the bridge served as a connection for pedestrians traveling between the Sandy Beach Amusement Park to the east and restaurants, etc. to the west. The amusement park closed in the early 1970s and the bridge was closed soon after. In the 1980s, the original bridge decking was removed due to deterioration and potential safety risks. The bridge structure remained as development in the area increased around the recreational use of Indian Lake.

Present Name(s): Sandy Beach Bridge

Historic or Other Name(s): Sandy Beach Amusement Park Bridge

Additional Information: (can include text or photos/maps)

In 2009 a group of locals, including the Indian Lake Area Historical Society, began assessing the feasibility of reopening the bridge. Fundraising began in 2010 and by 2014, the refurbished bridge with new decking was reopened to the public. The reopening of the bridge reportedly saw the biggest crowd in Russells Point since the amusement park was active. The bridge was dedicated as the Sandy Beach Bridge on August 23, 2014. The current walkways, benches, and historical markers along the approaches to the bridge were also dedicated at this time as the William and Marjorie Reed Memorial Walkway.1

The Sandy Beach Amusement Park opened in December 1924. It had a wooden roller coaster, a train, a tilt-a-whirl, and other rides. On the west side of the harbor, the Plaza Hotel and several dance halls drew visitors from afar. One of the most popular spots was the Minnewawa Dance Hall, considered a prime venue within the Midwest due to its size. The Minnewawa could accommodate two bandstands and hundreds of dancing couples. In addition to several dance halls that attracted entertainment legends including Rudy Vallee, Guy Lombardo, and Lawrence Welk, the area eventually offered excursion boats, public beaches, and drinking and dining establishments. The amusement park area became known as “Ohio’s Million Dollar Playground.”2 By 1930, there were numerous pleasure boats and speed boats plying the waters of Indian Lake. Visitors could pay to ride in a boat around the lake or rent a rowboat to fish or take excursions. The Plaza Show Boat, while not actually a boat, was a “nautical themed night club” at the west side of the harbor that offered cabaret and dining.3

French Wilgus (1887-1950) died at age 64 and his obituary noted that he “. . .broke ground in 1925 for a roller coaster and the well-known excursion boat, The Chief,” referring to him as a Bellefontaine native who had started a grocery business at Russells Point in 1906. He eventually built the Plaza Hotel, the Boardwalk, Danceland, and the Old Vienna Gardens.5 French was married twice – first to Lenola Hand Wilgus and later to D. Ruth Wilgus. They had one child, Evelyn Juanita Stone.6 Samuel Lister Wilgus (1854-1951), known as “Pappy,” was a native of Logan County and a Lakeview area businessperson. Along with his son, French, he built Sandy Beach Amusement Park. Samuel Lister Wilgus was married to Ernestine J. “Erna” Painter Wilgus in 1881, and they had two children, Nellie and French.7 Samuel Lister Wilgus died at age 96 and his obituary referred to him as a “civic leader at Lakeview in the resort area,” and “pioneer in the development of the Indian Lake resort area . . ..”8

The Sunset Beach Amusement Park Bridge was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber and, at that time, was considered endangered by neglect. The previous OHI form indicated that the bridge was significant as the last physical remains of the popular amusement park.9

Present Name(s):

Historic or Other Name(s): Bimel Hotel

Additional Information: (can include text or photos/maps)

According to the Logan County Historical Society, the building was constructed as a hotel/inn in 1852 and earned the name Bimel Hotel from the owner who subsequently enlarged it. Clarifying this history, the 1880 History of Logan County noted that “J. Bimel has recently enlarged and refitted the former residence of H. Shafer, and in this now entertains the traveling public.” “H. Shafer” was a merchant from the nearby village of Cherokee who, around 1850, moved to Huntsville with his business. In addition to constructing a frame building for that business, he built the house that Bimel purchased.1

John Bimel (1831-1901) was a German immigrant whose family hailed from Bavaria. They immigrated in 1835, when he was four years old, and he spent the rest of his life in Logan County, Ohio. While John received no formal education, he carved a business and political path for himself that landed him on Huntsville’s town council, as Justice of the Peace, Judge of Elections, and eventually mayor of Huntsville the post he was in when he died in 1901.2 John was married to Margaret Jane (nee Loughridge) and had two children with her, Flora (1861-1948) and Clem (18631945).3

John operated his hotel from around 1880 (if not earlier) until his death.4 Its operation as an inn continued after that, though; in 1906, the building suffered a fire, as did the rest of Huntsville, and it was noted in local news at the time that Bimel’s was still operating as an inn.5 The Bimel Hotel has been previously recorded in 1984. The previous OHI form indicated that the hotel “is reported to have been built in three sections (as the brick work indicates).”6 The previous OHI form incorrectly lists the hotel as the “Bimmel” Hotel it should be Bimel.)

Lewistown United Methodist Church was established in the 1830s. Its first church was built in 1853; however, the existing church replaced the first church in 1894. The building cost $3,600 to construct and many of the stained glass windows were funded by church members as memorials. The vestibule was added to the front of the church in 1970. As the church continued to grow and offer additional services such as weddings and funerals more room became necessary. In 1975, the fellowship hall and school rooms for Sunday school were added to the rear of the church to accommodate additional events and support the growing church. In 2002, the Lewistown United Methodist Church merged with the Lakeview Trinity United Methodist Church, creating the Lewistown-Trinity United Methodist Church. Although much smaller today, the church continues to be active in the area, supporting the homeless via the Lighthouse Homeless Shelter in Bellefontaine as well as helping the local pregnancy center and Alzheimer patients in their area. In 2020, the church was awarded the West Ohio United Methodist Rural Advocates William B. Murray Vital Church Award, “for a rural church worshiping less than 100 that displays passionate worship, radical hospitality, risktaking service and mission, extravagant generosity, and faith-forming relationships.” 1

Historic or Other Name(s): Plum Cemetery Mausoleum

Narrative Description: (note changes to property since original OHI was completed)

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) drew plans of the cemetery and the mausoleum during the 1930s.1 The cemetery’s trustee records, copied in 1980, were later compiled into the Cemetery Records of Logan County, Ohio and published by the Logan County Genealogical Society.2 A 1914 mausoleum is located within the cemetery near the road. Based on the date inscribed in the block set in its façade, cemetery records for Harrison, Union, and Washington Townships, and a count of the memorials in Findagrave.com for the Plum Cemetery, the Plum Cemetery Mausoleum was built in 1914 and was designed to house approximately 32 families. This mausoleum is a structural stone building with a generally square plan terminating in an apse It is built of mortared cut stone with a rusticated texture The mausoleum is characterized by a flat roof with stone crenellation, and a central entrance flanked by Tuscan columns resting on stone bases. A recessed stone panel reading “1914” is located above the entrance door. A stone stoop provides access to the recessed metal, double door. A former transom above the entrance and two former window openings in the apse have been infilled with stone.

The Plum Cemetery Mausoleum was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber of the Ohio Historical Society. The previous OHI form indicates that the mausoleum is “. . . a lovely example of Egyptian Revival architecture,” although the Egyptian Revival elements are not apparent. Instead, the mausoleum appears to be a unique interpretation drawing from several revival styles which would have been popular at this time including its generally Romanesque Revival style with Classical Revival entrance and Tudor Revival crenellation. The 1984 OHI form also notes its “elaborate stained glass windows.” It is possible the former stained glass windows were later vandalized, leading to the eventual infill of the window openings with stone. The previous OHI form for the mausoleum and did not record the cemetery itself. Although this is the case, the previous OHI form for the mausoleum did indicate that “A number of old and new graves are located to the north and west of the structure ”1 The form also indicates that there is an “identical” mausoleum in Mt. Tabor Cemetery in Gutman, Auglaize County, and future research may identify that a local builder constructed both mausoleums. For the purposes of this report, based on guidance from the OH-SHPO, Stantec requested a new OHI number for Plum Cemetery (LOG0065116). Stantec also references the existing OGSID number for Plum Cemetery (6944) and the existing OHI number for the Plum Cemetery Mausoleum (LOG0021316) which has been individually recorded within the cemetery.

Present Name(s): Nancy Huber House

Historic or Other Name(s): Nancy Huber House

Narrative Description: (note changes to property since original OHI was completed)

This approximately 257-acre property contains the two-story brick Nancy Huber House (primary resource), a circa 1920 English barn with earthen ramp; and a stock barn. The Nancy Huber House is a circa 1865, common bond brick building with Italianate details and square massing. The house retains a low-pitched hip roof covered in asphalt shingles and it has two interior brick chimneys. Its fenestration is W-D-W with 1/1 double hung vinyl replacement windows retaining stone lintels and sills. The central front door has a non-historic 3/4-light storm door with a transom above. The house has a simple porch with four rounded posts on a poured concrete pad resting on a concrete block foundation; the posts support a flat roof creating a second floor balcony surrounded by a metal railing. The house rests on a continuous brick foundation. At the rear of the house is a two-bay, vinyl sided, garage addition with an asphalt shingle, gable oriented roof.

Southwest of the Nancy Huber House is the circa 1920 English barn with an earthen ramp, an attached milk house, and a metal paneled roof. East of the English Barn is the circa 1950 stock barn with a single overhead door and fixed picture window on its front elevation, and a front gable roof.

Additional Information: (can include text or photos/maps)

In a drawing in the 1875 Atlas of Logan County, original features of the Nancy Huber house are shown as well as numerous former barns and outbuildings which have since been demolished. In addition to the front porch previously described, the 1875 drawing of the Nancy Huber House shows that it had a paneled front door and 4/4 sash windows. Despite this, the house preserves many historic character-defining features including its common bond brick construction method, interior brick chimneys, rooftop railing, and fenestration pattern.

Per the 1875 Atlas of Logan County, the house was owned by Nancy (nee Makemsom) Huber (1818-1901). Nancy was born in Logan County in 1818 to Thomas and Elizabeth (nee Wallace) Makemson, who were originally from Kentucky. Genealogical sources conflict on where Nancy was born either in Logan County or in Kentucky, where her parents were from. In 1837, Nancy married Manasses Huber (1806-1873) and they eventually had ten children.1 Nancy’s husband, Manasses Huber, was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, the son of John and Margaret (nee Stottlemeir) Huber, who were of German descent. Genealogical sources also conflict on Manasses’ birthplace either Virginia or Kentucky although most agree on Virginia. Manasses’ father, John, died in 1827, and his widow, Margaret, came to Logan County in 1832, with six of her children, including Manasses. Margaret purchased a farm one mile east of DeGraff and made her home there until her death in 1856. As a young man, Manasses assisted her in running and developing the family farm. Soon after his marriage, Mannasses purchased his own farm in Bloomfield Township, eventually developing it into a 720-acre farm along the Miami River; the federal government sold this land to Manasses as part of its encouragement of homesteading.2 On this land, the Huber home was built 3 (Histories, such as the 1880 History of Logan County, indicate that the family home was built soon after the farm’s establishment, so the house may be older than 1865.)4

The Huber family’s level of real estate success is apparent in federal censuses. They reveal that Manasses acquired a considerable amount of real estate before his death in 1873. In 1860, the census reports that he owned $12,000 in real estate and another $1,500 in personal assets a considerable amount in that era.5 In 1870, he maintained that amount of wealth, according to that year’s census.6

Genealogy records additionally document how the Hubers were prominent local citizens: Manasses was captain of the local militia, Logan County Light Horse Guard, and became affectionately known as Captain Huber thereafter. Both he and Nancy were active and influential members in their local Methodist Episcopal church which, during their lives, was in its early years. The Nancy Huber House was even used as a meeting house for church members 7

The Nancy Huber House was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber of the Ohio Historical Society. On the previous OHI form, the author noted that the original flat-roofed front porch had bracketed posts and a cast-iron cresting roof but that these features had been removed. The extant front porch and secondstory balcony have since replaced these historic features. Also on the previous OHI form, the associated English barn “west of the house” was referred to as a “bank barn,” however it is not truly banked into the grade.8 Instead, the upper level is accessed by an earthen ramp.

Present Name(s): John M. Smith House

Historic or Other Name(s): John M. Smith House

Narrative Description: (note changes to property since original OHI was completed)

This 200-acre property contains the John M. Smith House (primary resource), a three-bay garage, a non-historic one-bay garage, two large equipment storage barns, two non-historic grain bins, and a non-historic run-in shed. The two story, brick, John M. Smith House was built circa 1875 and has a historic rear addition dating to at least 1957, which appears to connect the house with a previously separate, single story brick, outbuilding suspected to have functioned as a smokehouse.1 The house appears to have been designed with a somewhat unusual cross shaped plan Its structural brick walls are laid in common bond, and it has a cross gable plan. Its cross gable roof is clad with metal panels, and it has four interior brick chimneys. Its fenestration pattern is W-D-W-W-W-D-W with historic 2/2 wooden windows retaining stone lintels and sills The house also retains historic front doors flanking the central projecting cross gable wing; these two half-light doors have arched lights and transoms above. Access to the front doors is provided by dual, poured concrete patios with simple, non-historic metal railings. The house rests on a continuous brick foundation

Northwest of the house is a one-bay garage with a multi-paned window, a metal roof, and vertical siding (extant by 1957). West of the one-bay garage is a three-bay garage with vertical siding, a two-paned casement window, and a side gable roof (extant by 1994, according to historic aerials) West and northwest of the garages are two large equipment storage barns with vertical siding (extant by 1957 and 1981, respectively). East of the northernmost equipment storage barn is a circa 2006 run-in shed. North of the run-in shed are two grain bins (extant by 1981).

Additional Information: (can include text or photos/maps)

As illustrated in the 1875 Atlas Map of Logan County, the John M. Smith House historically had a flat-roofed front porch wrapping around the central projecting cross gable wing The porch roof was supported by bracketed columns, and it had a balcony with a decorative railing. These features have since been removed, replaced by the dual concrete patios flanking the central projecting cross gable wing In 1875, the farmstead also had associated former outbuildings including a large stable and a small brick outbuilding to the rear of the house, both of which are no longer extant.

Per the Atlas of Logan County, John Manasseh Smith (1827-1898), suspected to have built the house, owned the land in 1875 through at least 1890 1 John M. inherited the family farm (even though, interestingly, he was not the eldest). Born in 1827, John married Elizabeth (nee Smith, 1827-1910) in 1852 and thereafter they had at least nine children.2 By 1860, John amassed $3,100 in real estate and another $500 in other personal assets.3 By 1870, his real estate was worth $6,400.4 This significant landholding is apparent on the aforementioned 1890 Logan County map, where John M. Smith is shown as owning 360 acres just east of Bloom Center where the John M. Smith House was built.5 John served as mayor of the village of West Liberty, located to the east of Bloom Center, soon after its establishment.6

John’s father, Jacob Smith (1794-1870), had founded the associated farm around 1835, and his descendants continued its farming use 7 Jacob and his wife, Christina (nee Hall, 1795-1872), originated from Pickaway and Fairfield Counties in central Ohio, where they had fourteen children, including John M.8 Jacob was of German descendent, the son of an American Revolutionary War private.9

The John M. Smith House was previously recorded in 1984 by Rachel Barber of the Ohio Historical Society. The front porch had already been removed and the rear addition connecting the former smokehouse had already been completed by that time.

According to the 1875 Combination Atlas Map of Logan County, W.B. & R.J. Morris owned this property, but no buildings were indicated in the location of the existing English barn.1 According to the 1890 Atlas Map of Logan County, N. Gross owned this 20acre property 2 A building is shown on the property near the road at that time, but it likely indicated a former historic house that is no longer extant. Since barns do not appear to be indicated on the 1890 map, it is assumed the barn was built at about the same time as the former house. Research did not reveal additional information about N. Gross. This property was previously recorded in 1997 (reviewed and entered in 1998) by the ASC Group, Inc. as the “Maag Property” with an alternate name of the “Morris-Gross Property.” 3
