The Alfred Kelley House Committee
Summary of Current Activity
This is a brief recount of our progress. The
House was dismantled by the Breyfogle Construction
Company and moved to Franklin Park East in less
than three weeks. Mr. Breyfogle and associates did
an excellent job and there were few stones broken
in the moving process. Attractive signs announcing
our plan for rebuilding and restoring the house are
now posted at the original site, next to Memorial
Hall, and at the new site, Franklin Park East. The
City will assist in erecting a fence around the
stones for protection.
Everything moved along without interruption
until Governor DiSalle held up our $20,000 state
grant for preservation of the constitutionality of
the state controlling and emergency boards. Our
own counsel determined that the Kelley Committee
would not play into this scheme of things - but
would return next year with a request for a more
substantial appropriation. However, with this
decision it now becomes urgent that we pay the contractor as soon as we are ab3e .
It is imperative that we move rapidly to organize a state-wide campaign to raise the necessary
funds for rebuilding and restoring the Kelley House.
Our architects are currently at work with Mr. Cyril
Webster, former curator of the Ohio Historical
Society, to draw up plans for rebuilding the house.
These plans are to incorporate the interests of Mr,
Kelley; canal building, railroading, banking etc.
The house would not only become a partial restoration, but a museum of state-wide interest.
