Alten-Casper House The original farmhouse of Matthias Alten is the centerpiece of Olde Avon Village. This Georgian-style brick farmhouse, that was built around 1850, houses the Tree House Gallery and Tea Room. The Tree House offers antiques and collectibles, folk art and accessories while the Tea Room serves light lunches, Sunday brunches and parties–all in the charming atmosphere of this restored 1850s century home.
Gibbs-Binns House
The original Jonathan Gibbs house, built between 1851 and 1857, was moved to Olde Avon Village in 1987 from Stoney Ridge Rd. This Greek Revival-Style home now houses the French Creek Fiber Arts, a weaving studio where you can find original, custom home fashions and wearables made on the premises. You can also see other artists' consignments there and receive instructions on spinning, weaving, knitting and hammered dulcimer.
Avon Train Depot
The 1882 restored Avon Train Depot and the 1918 Baltimore and Ohio Caboose.
Lewis House
The Lewis House, built around 1843, is made from sandstone from the Amherst quarries and reputed to be the only pyramid- roofed stone house in Ohio. The Lewis house was moved from Center Road near Rt. 83 in August, 2002. The Lewis house is home to Details, an upscale gift shop and more.
Blackwell Barn
The Blackwell Barn, built around 1851, which is formerly known as the Ewers barn, is constructed of hardwood lumber harvested in central Ohio. The style of the barn is of German Dutch architecture and assembled in the fashion of that era.
In mid-to-late October, 2009, the Ewer Barn
will soon become an
evening restaurant. Strip a Steak
House will offer customers the
combination of the primitive atmosphere of this
1840s barn and the
elegance of evening dining. Although the
emphasis is on USDA
prime beef, customers will be pleased to find a
wide array
of appetizers, salads and other non-beef
selections.
Clifton Barn
George Clifton came from England in the early 1830s. The Clifton barn was built in the early to mid 1840s and is now the home of Henry's, an evening restaurant specializing in South Carolina or low country
cuisine with Chef Paul Jagielski.
