New Vienna, Clinton County, Ohio
This building's history is a bit mysterious. Whether it predates New Vienna's founding, was constructed after 1835, or was relocated to its current site, I'm not certain. The interior is a mess of faux wood paneling, ceiling tiles, and shag carpet.
Though New Vienna was platted in 1835, its settlement began slightly earlier, in the 1820s. Before incorporation, the community received the moniker "Buzzard's Glory," from a tannery operated as early as 1812 by one Mr. Mortimer. (The tanning hides attracted vultures, evidently.)

| The cornice, spanning the side elevation's width, is somewhat unusual, as are the half-lunette attic vents. |
 |
| The logs are half-dovetailed. |
 |
| Framing, for a now-demolished addition, is visible at lower center. Note the mortises. |
This was my grandparents home. My cousin Tim Mahanes owns it now. I dont have a printer and would love copies of this to put in my dads memories book
