Schoolhouse IN THE MEADOW

An Ohio couple designed their stunning wheelchair-friendly timber frame home to resemble an old schoolhouse. When Deb and Ed Dick decided to build their dream house, they searched for lots within the city limits of their hometown of Kenton, Ohio. “We wanted the amenities and public-service benefits that city properties are granted,” says Deb, “but the only property we really liked, in fact loved, was literally just outside the city limits, right on the border of city and country.”
