Event Details

Join local historian Matt Nahorn for a trip through early Lorain County history on Thursday, April 23 at 6:30pm. It is a tragedy when an "old house" is demolished. But, when a house is demolished, architectural salvage is important, as these structures contain beautifully hand-crafted features made of old growth wood. 

Over the last 25 years or so, Matt has salvaged over 60 doors from old houses, mostly representing the 19th century. In this program, he'll review selected houses from which doors, windows, and other architectural features have been salvaged, showcasing some prominent early architectural styles in the county.

Registration is suggested. Register below or call the library at 440-988-4230.
