The kemp house was always part Stone, part brick. There may have been repairs later if it was hit by a car, I had moved from Dayton by then. I would still like to know some history on Mrs Browns old brick if anyone knows.

I always wondered about the old brick that had a walk out basement close to the Weatherly's (not Weathers). A Mrs Brown lived there when I was a child. I played in that creek at the end of the golf course, and with Brenda McNabb, who lived in the log home behind the golf course prior to the Benton's living there.

As a child we often visited the home. It was truly a shame that it burned. I think the house was built in the 1860's.GRCNKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603171215879223936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-78259324491918966492010-04-23T11:55:28.355-04:002010-04-23T11:55:28.355-04:00I know no-one will ever read this however the Kemp...I know no-one will ever read this however the Kemp house is two different styles of brick due to the fact that on July 4th 1997 a car crashed into the eastern corner.

Can't believe it's been standing since 1801. They don't make them like that anymore! <br /><br />So you happen to have any information on that big yellow house by the railroad tracks on Old Harshman Road? That one fascinates me as well. <br /><br />Thanks for the information, keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-77656681001600275882009-02-01T20:34:00.000-05:002009-02-01T20:34:00.000-05:00Yes there is a spring in the area of the Suman-Cos...Yes there is a spring in the area of the Suman-Cosler House.It is,was behind Fulmer Dr.between Fulmer and the Creekside Railtrail(CH&D,B&O RR)It may have been disturbed or re-routed during construction of the Pinewood Plat.And one of the houses on Kirk Lynn Dr. had several well developed fruit tree in the backyard between it and Fulmer Dr.Kirk Lynn Dr.was named for one of the construction workers on the Pinewood Plat.He lived several houses north of the Cosler-Suman House on Cosler Dr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-29739524069722885902009-02-01T00:53:00.000-05:002009-02-01T00:53:00.000-05:00I think I have been inside the Suman Cosler house ...I think I have been inside the Suman Cosler house a family named Weathers lived there in the 1960s.If it is the home I think it is near where Fulmer Dr.intesects Cosler Dr.There was another real jem of a Farm that was behind Fulmer that was back a long lane off of Kemp Rd.It was a two story log house.It was between the DP&L golf cource and where K-mart is,(where the K-mart stands used to be a dariy farm)The locals called the log cabin Bentons Farm the name of the people who lived there.It was rumored that DP&L bought the property to expand their golf cource.The family moved in the late 1960s.The house was protected by a 20ft. chain link fence after it was vacant but vandals soon burnned it down.A creek ran through the property.It may be the Mc Connels Creek on the maps shown.But I new it as Lilly Creek.The Mad River TWP Fire dept.tried to save the house but the stone arch culvert on the lane was washed out,and no fire hydrants.So the built a dirt and rock dam in the creek and streched hoeses and pumped water from the creek but it was too late.There also was another farm that lasted into the late 1960s just south of there Behind Brownell Rd.and between the Rd.and the PRR Clement RR Yard.It had 2 houses and a barn it was also burrned today it is low income housing Sunshine Village and I heard one of the Weathers family lives there.Interestingly there is a woods most of it old growth that runs along the creek from Bentons farm to the place on Brownell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-82766628110274394722008-12-06T17:52:00.000-05:002008-12-06T17:52:00.000-05:00Thanks Jeff.
