History and architectural features
The original section of this historic structure was built circa 1820, and was then expanded circa 1929 by architect John Gilbert McIlvaine, a partner of Wilson Eyre. Expanded again in late 1953, it currently has common areas plus four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and five fireplaces. It is located on the Martha and Maurice Ostheimer Estate, along with the larger estate home known as "Grimmet."
Wee Grimmet consists of a two-story, stuccoed stone core section with a gable roof. The addition contains a family room, a master bedroom, and two bathrooms. The original house was built as a dwelling for tenant workers in the limestone quarry, salt mine, and kiln nearby.
