Discover the historic home of Jonathan Hale, one of the founders of Bath, Ohio. Originally a brickmaker from Connecticut, Hale embarked on building his permanent residence in 1824. Using bricks crafted from the clay of the nearby Cuyahoga River and locally sourced lime for mortar, the house was completed in 1825. At a time when the concept of a brick Federal-style home was still emerging, the Hale House stood as a pioneering structure. Remarkably, it became only the second brick building in the Cuyahoga Valley. Immerse yourself in this piece of early American history and architecture.
