Continuing with a long-standing tradition, a Grandview Heights student finishes his painting on the window of a Grandview Avenue business while bystanders marvel at his handiwork in this 1948 photo from the Karlovec collection.

The 2024 display period for a 100+ Year-Old Home marker has ended.

The Society’s 100+ Year-Old Home Marker Program helped tell your home’s story during September and October 2024. If your house was located in Grandview Heights or Marble Cliff, was built in 1924 or before, and retained much of its original front exterior façade, you had the opportunity to acknowledge this by displaying a marker in your front yard.

Even though the 2024 display period has ended, you will have the opportunity to display your marker again next year and future years during September and October. Each year going forward, new homes become eligible as they reach the century mark.

The Society hosted a free Building Doctor seminar on October 1 to an enthusiastic audience. The event was co-hosted with the Ohio History Connection to help owners of old homes and buildings become even better stewards of their properties.

The Society is celebrating 50 years of preserving and sharing our local history. On May 29, 1974, our constitution and by-laws were formally adopted. The establish of a steering committee, determination of membership dues, and acceptance of initial donations also underscored a growing community commitment. Grandview Heights resident Win Keller led the charge in establishing the organization.

Today, 50 years later, the Society continues its mission to discover, collect, and preserve information and materials pertaining to the founding and development of Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff. Guided by a dedicated volunteer Board of Trustees, the Society's efforts ensure the legacy of Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff endures for generations to come.
