AMELITA MIROLO BARN | Made From Scratch Featured Venue
“The historical timbers, found in the entrance of the Amelita Mirolo Barn, were hand-hewn from local, virgin-growth oak. The original barn was constructed in 1838 by Thomas Legg, near Reed and Fishinger roads. In December 1928, this barn was moved to 1988 Lane Road to replace a barn that had burned down on the McCoy family farm. Up until 1964, the barn was used frequently to store farm equipment, house cattle, and residents could even purchase eggs.
In 2007, the City of Upper Arlington was planning to develop the new Sunny 95 Park, to include an all-season indoor facility. The Upper Arlington Historical Society suggested the opportunity to preserve one of the community’s oldest farm structures. The Upper Arlington Community Foundation led a community-wide fundraising effort to incorporate the beams of this historic structure within a public recreation facility.
From September 16–26, 2010, with the expertise of the Ohio Timber Framers Guild, volunteers and members of the Friends of Ohio Barns, the historical timber frame was raised by hand and the modern frame constructed.”
