ROMANELLI & HUGHES PARADE HOME 2009 Welcome to the 2009 Romanelli and Hughes Parade Home. Our focus in design and construction of this home is to present an American approach to old world European artistry showcasing the French penchant for Joie de Vivre (the Art of Living). Our home is based on French provincial styling married with classic European elegance. To create this feel, the main design themes that are carried throughout include: § Understated elegance of the extensive wood trim. Clean lines, raised paneling, and custom circle detailing liberally used throughout the floor plan. § Handsome, heavy doors with old-world styled egg shaped hardware. § Aged stone and hardwood floors timeless in character. § Wrought iron detailing, used liberally throughout, is indicative of the long history the French have of making magnificent ironwork. The dark wrought iron also offsets the typically light color pallet in French homes. § The use of polished chrome lighting and plumbing fixtures is consistent with the clean lines and functionality of classic European styling. § Color selection consistent with 18th century France’s old world shades of Ochre, come from the Lubéron village of Roussillion, which is an important source of that pigment sold around the world. These pigments range from oxblood with undertones of brown to the many varying shades of yellow. § An eclectic mix of furnishings typical of the French penchant for passing furniture from generation to generation with each family adding their own favorite pieces. For More Information visit us at: www.rh-homes.com 3 ROMANELLI & HUGHES PARADE HOME 2009 This house design will fit any 95’ and 100’ wide lots in Tartan Ridge and most 100’ wide lots in other developments, depending on side yard requirements. As a company we met to decide what kind of house we wanted for the parade. We decided on the European country style that we felt gives this house great character and curb appeal. We felt that the market was for a house with school age children, thus we wanted a second floor master bedroom. We strived to make this not just a “showcase” house, but a home that people could envision living their everyday lives. Much thought was given to the flow and use of the areas with ample hallways and doorways between the areas. Breakfast 17’2”x12’10” Window Well Veranda 16’7”x13’0” Kitchen 17’2”x19’7” UP Ä Great Room 18’9”x20’0” 12’ Ceiling soap stone island w/ sinks Desk Sink & Laundry Single Car Garage 13’7”x22’0” We decided to make use of the space between the kitchen and the dining room by incorporating a first floor wine room and butlers pantry. This provides easy use for everyday as well as a great highlight for entertaining. 11’ Ceiling open walk-thru Pantry 9’ Ceiling Family Mgmt. Center 15’11”x17’1” 12’ Ceiling à DN Powder Room Butler Pantry Den 12’4”x12’2” Wine Vault 2 Car Garage 22’1”x20’7” Dining Room 13’6”x15’2” It was decided to make a large open foyer as a strong focal point when entering the front door. This was accomplished with plenty of space for welcoming guests, lots of windows and a turning staircase. The first floor was designed to include a spacious and functional family management center. Great thought and consultation with the design center resulted in a well planned and organized room to meet the needs of a family with school age children. This room also functions well for all living styles providing a means to organize the clutter that normally accumulates at the family’s main entry point of the home. By opening the Kitchen, informal dining and great room to each other it provides the common living space for everyday and openness for entertaining. The space also opens to the covered porch and the outdoor living space. We elevated the Master suite above the rest of the second floor to give a feeling of privacy. Two other bedrooms were lowered two steps, for a kids wing with back stairway to the kitchen and the family management center. The fourth bedroom is then for family or guest. All bedrooms were given separate bathrooms and walk-in closets. The two and one split car garage has extra space for storage while accommodating 3 cars. Foyer à UP First Floor 2,359 sq ft 10’ Ceilings The basement was finished with a family room area, home theater and playroom that could be closed off to provide another bedroom.

DUBLIN OHIO Around 1808 Peter and Benjamin Sells gave their brother John Sells a 400 acre piece of land along the Scioto River, which he organized and platted as a village in 1810, with a Dublin Ireland native, John Shields. That is now known as historic Dublin. The rich traditions of Dublin’s early 19th Century architecture have kept the city in high regard among the Columbus Suburbs. With the insight of the community leaders Dublin has preserved the old while adding the new, many of its original buildings remain and are listed in the National Register of Historic dwellings. Dublin was transformed in 1970s into a suburban business center with the convenient freeway access of I -270 Columbus outerbelt. Many corporations such as Ashland Chemical & M.A.G. led the way in the Metro Center development followed by numerous commercial developments. Dublin progressively invested in technology with the DUBLINK city owned underground multi-conduit high capacity fiber-optic system allowing companies to interconnect multiple locations within the City of Dublin creating a virtual corporate campus. This forward thinking mentality will keep the Commercial and Residential balance for healthy growth of Dublin. Muirfield Village and its Golf Club was a stellar addition to the Village and with its population growth Dublin officially became the City of Dublin in 1987. Dublin had a long term plan to keep nature and its beauty preserved for those who live and work in the community. The Community Recreation Center with 96 miles of paths to wind through tranquil wetlands, playgrounds and scenic river views. You can find a Park close to home in Dublin, currently 39 and growing with over 1,000 acres of designated park land. The Public attractions are well known and bring many to the City every year such as the PGA Memorial Golf Tournament held at Muirfield Golf Club and the Columbus Zoo complemented as one of the finest Zoos in the US. With so many attractive amenities and a Nationally Accredited School District it is no surprise so many Ohioans seek to build a home for their families in Dublin. The community is abuzz with the opening of the new Tartan Ridge of Dublin. The mix of residential manor homes, cottages and courtyard homes in a village like setting reminiscent of 1700s to 1900s old limestone architecture and charm. Tartan Ridge will offer a 17 acre exclusive Retail Center with all the charm of Dublin’s Downtown colonial atmosphere. The perfect place for all ages to settle and living styles among tree lined boulevards with over 40% of the community space dedicated to parks paths and trails connecting the 75 acres of parkland. The trails and pathways will have direct access to the Glacier Ridge Elementary School and neighborhood shopping center. The Shops will occupy on a 68,500 square foot retail center located on 16.5 acres hosting premium retailers and dining in a pedestrian friendly environment. Tartan Ridge, the host of the 2009 BIA Parade of Homes, is located near Glacier Ridge Metro Park off of Hyland-Croy Road. Tartan Ridge is the joint venture development of The Edwards Land Company and the Romanelli & Hughes Building Company, with The Edwards Land Company serving as developer. -Penny Robinson 13 WHAT TO DO IN AND AROUND DUBLIN, OHIO JULY 11TH - 26TH Parade of Homes by BIA Ohio - Tour about a dozen beautiful homes by Central Ohio builders and don’t forget to visit Romanelli & Hughes Custom Home Builders for ideas on building your next new custom home.

WESTERVILLE OHIO Weather you desire a rural homestead or an upscale urban loft, Central Ohio’s largest Suburb has it all. Westerville’s rich history in equality and prohibition combines with professional modern lifestyles, with a focus on active and recreational living - to create a very desirable community. A place very focused on its business appeal yet charms with plenty of natural surroundings and options. Westerville is is the headquarters for large corporations and family owned businesses alike. Romanelli and Hughes proudly calls Westerville home and has deep roots in this outstanding community. Generations of the families that make up Romanelli and Hughes have called this place home and invested their lives into developing commercial and residential real estate here. They offer many developments to chose from to accommodate for variety of lifestyles, including young professionals and empty nesters to traditional families. Residential real estate options vary greatly in Westerville in regard to size, architectural style and period. The oldest period homes reside in and around the Uptown District and have been well maintained or restored to perfection, creating an ideal quaint town feel. The businesses and energy of this area thrive and serve as the epicenter of Westerville. Adjacent to this district is the prestigious and influential Otterbein College. Museums, parks, libraries, cafes and galleries create the street frontage in much of Westerville. The combination of well thought out development in this community allows for a very active lifestyle, from the 96,600 square foot community recreation center to the 23 miles of recreational trails, winding through the natural landscape of the area. Westerville City Schools serves approximately 14,250 students, is the 10th-largest district in Ohio and earned a rating of “Excellent” from the Ohio Department of Education on the 2008 State Report Card. The district operates 16 elementary schools, four middle schools and three high schools. For the 16th consecutive year, Westerville Schools earned the “What Parents Want” in education designation from SchoolMatch. The Class of 2008 earned more that $25 million in scholarship offers and, on average, more than 80 percent of Westerville School District graduates pursue a post-secondary education at colleges and universities around the world. Right: The Everal farm, named Rosedale after J.W. Everal’s rose garden, is a preserved example of 19th Century farm architecture. The farm is now part of Heritage Park located at Main and Cleveland Avenue on the west side of Westerville. The Uptown District, with its historic shopping district, bed and breakfasts, and homes dating back to the 19th century, is a sort of 21st century Mayberry. Uptown Westerville was the center of town when founded in 1858, and it remains the heart of the city today. Otterbein was intentionally and uncommonly inclusive with respect to women and people of color. Otterbein was among the first coeducational colleges in America, and probably the first college in the United States to be founded as coeducational and to admit women to the same programs of study as male students. Its first two graduates were females. From its opening, Otterbein employed female faculty members, and it was probably the first college to do so. Otterbein was also one of the first three colleges in the United States to be open to students of color, and College historians have argued that it deserves to be considered the first to be founded with that philosophy. 17 WESTERVILLE OHIO Westerville’s humble beginnings can be traced to 1806, when Revolutionary War veteran Edward Phelps and his friend, Issac Griswold, settled along Alum Creek at Blendon Corners, which today is Westerville Road and St. Rte. 161. In 1809, Garrit Sharp and his family became the first people to establish a residence in what is now considered Westerville city limits. New York natives Matthew and Peter Westervelt scouted the central Ohio area sometime between 1814 and 1816. Matthew and Peter were part of a lineage of pioneers in the Westervelt family, beginning with their ancestor Lubbert, who left Holland in 1662 for what is now an area near Brooklyn, New York. The Westervelts were attracted to what is now the Westerville area because of the considerable amount of cheap, available land. On January 24, 1816, Matthew and Peter bought 890 acres of land along the eastern bank of Alum Creek for $3,562. By 1818, four Westervelt siblings were living in the area that would become Westerville. In 1820, Gideon Hart built a home on his farm along Hempstead Road. This home is significant, as it is the oldest home still standing in Westerville and one of a dozen community buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. It remains a private residence. Westerville’s population had increased to nearly 700 by 1830. In 1840, the community was officially named Westerville after the Westervelt family, in part due to their generous land donations. Westerville has been a Franklin County symbol for equality and education since before the Civil War. Westerville’s own Otterbein State Street just west of Old County Line Road (both buildings are now home to various Westerville businesses). The Timothy Lee home, another Underground Railroad home on Sunbury Road, remains a private residence. In 1855, the Westerville School District was established. One year later, the district celebrated the opening of its first new schoolhouse, a oneroom building on West Home Street. Westerville was incorporated as a village in 1858, and John Haywood became the community’s first mayor. In 1860, Westerville’s Fire Division was established and remained a volunteer fire division for more than 100 years. Today, Westerville’s Fire Division consists of 79 full-time personnel. The Westerville railroad was built in 1873, spurring economic activity for a number of mills throughout Westerville, including the Everal Tile Company. In recognition of its community heritage, the Everal family barn and homestead were recently renovated and are the focal points of the community’s Heritage Park. In 1898, Westerville established its own electric division. In 1901, Westerville had a burgeoning population of 1,462, and officials opened the city’s first water treatment plant. More than 100 years later, Westerville’s water plant treats up to 7.5 million gallons of water per day. Westerville became the epicenter of a national debate about the legality of alcohol in 1909, when the Anti-Saloon League moved its headquarters from Chicago to Westerville. The debate continued for more than two decades. Westerville’s first paid police officers were hired in 1915 (today, the Police Division is comprised of more than 80 trained personnel). The following year, Westerville became the third municipality in the United States and first village in Ohio to adopt a council-manager style of government. The council-manager government establishes city council as the legislative and executive body, and provides for professional management through an appointed, trained municipal administrator. Day-to-day operations are the responsibility of the city manager, who serves as the city’s chief executive. In 1930, Westerville’s first public library was opened in the old Purley Baker home, which was owned by the Anti-Saloon League. Three years later, the Westerville municipal government offices also moved into a renovated home, this one owned by B.T. Thomas at 21 S. State Street. The move and renovation were part of a federal government relief project during the Depression. College, founded as Otterbein University in 1847 by the United Brethren Church, was the first institution of higher learning in the United States to admit women without restrictions, the first to include women on its faculty, and one of the first to admit students of color. Lewis Davis, the President of Otterbein College prior to the Civil War, was personally involved in Westerville’s Underground Railroad efforts. Many Underground Railroad homes still stand today, including the George Stoner home on State Street just southwest of the Westerville Public Library and the Alkire home on North 18 Construction on Westerville’s first city park began in 1934. Known today as Alum Creek Park, it remains one of Westerville’s most popular play and relaxation areas. By 1940, Westerville’s population had grown to 3,146; 10 years later, it was 4,102. In 1955, the Westerville Public Library moved to its current location at 126 S. State Street. Thanks to public support, a massive library expansion occurred in 1998. PRESERVING A RICH HERITAGE The 1960s brought other changes to Westerville: It was recognized as a city for the first time, and passed its first city charter; Westerville South High School was dedicated; Westerville’s first shopping center was opened at the northwest corner of Schrock Road and State Street; Westerville hired its first full-time fire chief; a Parks & Recreation Department was established; and Westerville’s current Water Treatment Plant on Main Street was built. Westerville experienced a population surge from 1970 to 1990. In 1970, the city’s population was 12,530. It exploded to 23,414 by 1980 and 32,269 by 1990. During the 1980s, when Westerville’s land use was approximately 90-percent residential, city leaders began to focus on business development efforts to ease the future tax burden on residents for city services. As a result, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital became central Ohio’s first planned suburban hospital. Soon after, the Brooksedge and Eastwind areas became prominent business developments in Central Ohio; they remain vital components of Westerville’s economic development efforts, along with the Westerville Commerce Center, Uptown District, Westar Center of Business, and other Westerville business districts. In 1999, the Cleveland Avenue and Polaris Parkway extensions were opened to traffic for the first time, providing direct east-west access to I-71 from northern Westerville. The 96,600 square foot Westerville Community Center offers a leisure pool with water slides and a lazy river; an 8-lane lap pool; walking & running track; gymnasium; fitness room; indoor climbing wall; locker rooms; program rooms; public meeting areas; a youth game room; an indoor playground and a “Kids Wait Room” child care area. In 2001, the Westerville Parks & Recreation Department received a national gold medal for its service excellence. That same year, the Westerville Community Center was opened to the public and became the city’s 38th park or recreation facility. In August 2003, the editors of Sports Illustrated named Westerville Sportstown Ohio. Later that year, Westerville’s third high school, known as Central High School, opened its doors to its first students. In 2006, Westerville Central High School celebrated the graduation of its first class. Today, Westerville land use is now approximately 65 percent residential and 35 percent industrial or commercial. Westerville provides more city services than any other central Ohio suburb, with more than 150 trained full-time police officers and fire fighters, an electric division that serves all of Westerville, a water division recognized as one of Ohio’s best, a state-of-the-art community recreation center, and countless other important city services. The Westerville School District’s estimated student enrollment is approximately 14,000, with three high schools among more than twenty total schools in the district. Westerville has gone through many changes during its nearly two-century history. Through it all, Westerville citizens have shown themselves to be rich in heritage, culture, pride, and vision – from the original settlers who took part in the Revolutionary War and those who risked their lives as part of the Underground Railroad, to today’s residents who continue to aspire to make Westerville a better community for future generations. “City of Westerville, www.westerville.org, 6/1/2009” Greek Life Mission Statement As members and supporters of fraternities and sororities at Otterbein College, we envision a Greek community that connects and supports all Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic and National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters as an integral part of the College.

But in one little corner of southern Delaware County is a suburb that shines brighter than the rest: the city of Powell. Even though Powell has expanded from a small farming village into a modern suburb, it has maintained its heritage and small town charm. The historic downtown area surrounding the intersection of Powell and Liberty roads has always been at the heart of the community. New businesses have grown up next to the established buildings that have stood there since the late 19th century. These new buildings even resemble the old, giving the illusion of strolling through a place lost to the modern grip of the 21st century. Almost all of the small businesses in the area are family owned and operated, and have kept the charm of the town. Powell’s family atmosphere and laidback style led Money magazine to list it as the 18th best place to live in the United States in 2005. Powell has a rich and storied history as a small-time, family-oriented town. First settled around 1801, the area was originally known as Middlebury. Judge Thomas Powell brought the first post office to the town in 1857, and the grateful residents adopted his name for their community. The area remained small and agricultural up until the 1980s, when Columbus’s urban sprawl finally caught up to Powell. Since the 1990s, Powell has been in a constant state of development. Between 1990 and 1999, Powell’s population grew 189.5% as people moved out of the big city and towards the suburbs. With a population of 12,162 people in July 2007, Powell has grown into a thriving, upscale community. The housing market, though very diverse, holds onto its upscale appeal of this upscale suburb. The majority of homes in the Powell area are less than 20 years old, and the estimated median home value was $344,621 in 2007. 90.6% of homes are family households with an average of 3.2 people per home. Though the majority of homes are single family households, Powell also has several thriving condo and apartment communities. These offer residents affordable living options while maintaining the feel of approachable luxury that surrounds the area. One of the major benefits of Powell is the excellent education that the Olentangy Local School System has to offer. Olentangy Liberty High School was recently ranked the 291st best high school in the nation by Newsweek Magazine, one of only 28 schools in the state to make the list. The Delaware Gazette published an article stating that “95% of parents approve of the work being done by classroom teachers at the Olentangy Local Schools”. The district has received the state’s “Excellent” rating several years in a row, and Liberty High School has had a graduation rate well above 90% since it opened in 2003. The city of Powell’s Department of Parks and Recreations also offers residents a great deal of opportunities for residents to get active. There are five city-run parks, including a skateboard park, a water park, and the Powell Pool, that provide families with places to go and have fun. The city also maintains miles of bike and running paths for residents that wind through the beautiful forests and fields that Powell has to offer. The annual PowellFest, put on by the city, attracts people from all over central Ohio, offering food, live music, and lots of other entertainment options for people of all ages. The festival gives Powell a chance to show itself off, and is even concluded with a professional fireworks display. 33 POWELL OHIO WHAT TO DO... In addition to its parks, Powell lies conveniently close to many attractions that this side of Columbus has to offer. Two country clubs, Kinsale and Wedgewood, as well as two other golf courses, the Shamrock and the Safari, offer golfers world-class opportunities to hone their skills minutes from home. Just west of downtown Powell lie the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay. Ranked the number one zoo in the country, it is an excellent place to take the family for a day trip. And Zoombezi Bay water park is full of slides, rides, and other attractions to help keep visitors cool though the hot summer months. Powell is also only minutes away from Lewis Center and S.R. 23, which offer residents dozens of shopping opportunities. Go a few miles farther down Powell Road and the Polaris area of Westerville, with its mall, movie theater, and other entertainment options, can be found. As any resident will tell you, Powell is one of the best places to live in all of central Ohio. Offering a luxurious, elegant atmosphere without sacrificing its approachable, small-town charms, Powell truly is a unique place. Its excellent school system, beautiful parks, and proximity to hundreds of entertainment options make this small city a place of huge opportunities perfect for people young and old.

It was in 1849 when Gahanna was founded by John Clark, along the Big Walnut Creek. The land was 800 acres large and obtained by his father’s purchase from Governor Worthington in 1814. “Gahanna” comes from a Native American word meaning three creeks that join into one. Clark called his land “Gahanna Plantation” coming from the nearby Gahanna Creek, later named Big Walnut Creek. Thus the Official Seal of the City of Gahanna refers to the confluence of three creeks, with the inscription “Three In One”. Gahanna later merged with nearby town, Bridgeport and kept the name Gahanna. In 1881 Gahanna was incorporated with Franklin County and elected its first Mayor, L. John Neiswander. Today Gahanna is a thriving community, with a perfect location, easily accessible to I-270, State Route 161, 62 and Columbus International Airport. Gahanna also takes a front row seat to Easton Town Center shopping and entertainment, an international shopping destination. Gahanna offers plenty of shopping within it boundaries too, as well as beautiful parks, architecturally diverse neighborhoods and home to many Central Ohio businesses.
