Ron Larson prides himself in moving and restoring old buildings to celebrate their history and give them a future.
These buildings each have their own unique story:

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.

which is open 7 days a week.
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. The Ewer Barn is an evening restaurant. Strip Steak House offers 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.
