The remains of what once was Harrison Elmer Christian's log house now stands (at least I think it still stands) at the northernmost junction of Ohio State Route 93 and Ben Howell Road (County Road 119). The hill behind the house was rock-capped and, to the best of my memory, held a shallow rock cave.
Harrison used to take his grand-children on "explorations" of the old
"rock house", as he often called it. He died more than half a century ago. Most of my family are gone now. And lately, I have come to realize just how much I miss them, especially "Grandad" Christian.
I've often thought I'd like to go up there and look around, and maybe take a few pictures.
Does anyone here know the name of the currrent owner of the property that includes the top of that hill?

If you are talking about the old log house that no one is living in, I know who owns it. but I am not sure how far up the hill they own.

Re: Ben Howell Road "rock house"
What the hell happened???? I was passing by the old house yesterday, or what used to be the old house, and saw that all that remains now is the chimney. Does anyone know?
