On Sept 10 Herm Fagley discussed the evolution from log cabin to two-story federal style brick house. I have finally located the 1997 photo I took of the building standing on the old John Archerd property in Monroe township, Clermont County. The house is a two story brick with center door, one window on each side and three windows upstairs. The windows have flat tops [no arch]. There was a brick chimney at one end of the house. The owner told me that when he renovated he found the original hewn log floor boards and roof joists that were pegged together. There was in 1997 an open front porch and at each end of the brick house there were wooden additions of one story. Behind the house there seemed to be an older extension and then a much newer expansion area beyond that. My guess is that the brick part is the 1830's Archerd farmhouse. It was a thrill to locate the old property and talk to the owner about it.. Out back beyond the modern garage was a large mound, described in an 1827 deed when Archerd bought more property to go with his 1811 and 1812 purchases. Herm Fagley keeps insisting that the mound consists mainly of beer cans. Bill Archerd [six generations later]
