Right up the road from the fossil farm was this neat old school. The sign said, "Old Runyan School" and was built in 1879 on the farm of Henry Runyan.
Then, we drove up to the 104-year-old Cincinnati landmark, the Hauck mansion, in Sharonville. Once I saw this wonderful piece of history, I immediately turned and drove right up the driveway as if I were home. At first the kids were afraid that we would get in trouble but I assured them that we would only stay for a minute.
This was once the country home of famed Cincinnati brewer Louis Hauck who raised hay on the property to feed the draft horses that pulled his beer wagons. Just recently in June, the house was sold on the courthouse steps. $601,000 was the final price for 18 rooms... 7,200 square feet of mansion on three acres. Andrew Thul didn't do the bidding, but he wrote the check.
When Andrew Thul, the Hauck Mansion buyer was asked,"What do you hope to do with this historic property?”
He quickly replied, “Put it to the best use the Lord wants for it."
I like the way this guy thinks. I got a feeling, we will be back.
