| From the pineapple hospitality sign above the front walk, to the warmth of the music room and parlor, The House of the Seven Goebels beckons to those that enjoy and appreciate the past. Lovingly re-created by an architect and master-craftsman, the home recalls an earlier period when life was less hurried and people took pride in what they made with their hands. |
| Built in the late nineteen seventies, the home is an authentic reproduction of a 1780 Connecticut River Valley farmhouse. Constructed of colonial materials and with colonial methods, it mirrors the time and mood of Virginia's Williamsburg and Massachusetts' Sturbridge Village and Deerfield. |
| On the exterior, wood rain troughs are anchored beneath hand-split shaker roofing. Square nails are visible on the face of the rough sawn cedar siding. Exterior doors are handmade, with wooden latches and Indian bars. Windows are twelve over twelve lights - double sashes with twelve panes each. |
| Instead of curtains and drapes, the windows are fitted inside with handmade wood shutters that close on cold winter nights. The shutter hinges are wood. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and interior doors and latches are also handmade. Floors are wide pine shiplap, attached also with square cut nails. |

| (pictured is Frank and Son) |
| Pat is a retired second grade school teacher. Frank is a commercial banker. After raising five children on a 300 acre Angus cattle farm in Southern Ohio, they moved to the city 15 years ago. Unable to forget their roots, they continue to start new landscape construction projects. Pat loves being outdoors, with her many gardens, and Frank enjoys the challenge of building new things. Frank likes straight lines, but Pat is an artist, so they compliment one another in their compromise. They also enjoy hiking, traveling to see their grandchildren, building furniture, sewing and reading. Pat is also learning to play the concert harp. |
| Their five children, spouses and six grandchildren are all off forging new lives in Houston and College Station, Texas, Maxwell, New Mexico, Denver, Colorado and Wooster, Ohio. |
