| Description: |
| Story1: | The Kircher house was built by Ed and Janet Kircher on land from her great aunt Elizabeth Cooper. It shows on the 1942 map of Terrace Park, co it was built at least by then. Only 1 family lived in the house. When the house was torn down in 1994 for a new house, a first stone foundation was found beside the one of the house coming down (probably a turn-of-the- century home). Bob Corey confirms he played in this foundation as a child in the 1920s. Thus there have been a series of 3 houses on this site. |
| Edwin Kircher was a skilled woodworker in his spare time. He converted their basement into an English pub, complete with hand hewn beams, cabinets and doors. Mrs. Bieser reported his work was beautifully done. Therefore Mrs. Beiser's brother salvaged much of the wood and incorporated it into his home. The Sebens family on Miami Avenue, Terrace Park, further recycled windows and exterior siding from the Kircher home and used it in the construction of their chicken house. All the neighbors helped themselves to plantings. All interior moldings and the fireplace mantel were used elsewhere. An air conditioning unit was donated to Habitat for Humanity, as were the Kircher's appliances. The Biesers are strong advocates of re-cycling building materials whenever possible. |
