Ritter Library’s Spooky Pedigree

I’ve mentioned several times on this blog that I moved to Vermilion in 2018. I really like it out here.

One of the amenities of living here is the Ritter Public Library. It’s a beautiful, well-stocked library – and it’s open on Sunday too.

One thing that I never knew about the library until recently is that the architects who designed it modeled it after the Joseph Swift home of “Gore Orphanage” legend.

Read all about it in this article that appeared in the Sandusky Register on January 17, 1958.

There is an excellent, well-written history of the library (delving into much more detail) that can be found on its website here.
