Aethelred EldridgeProfessor of Fine Arts

Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, 1984

Aethelred loves the pastoral life,

the writings of William Blake, and

the Tudor style. Below arepictures of his home, church, and

outbuildings. Most are built from

railroad timbers and chicken wire

filled with plaster. His buildings

are very, very sturdy.

This woman built her house by herself 

using Tulip wood, which is plentiful in the

area, and very light so that she could raise

the two-story timbers.

This man, a certified brick-layer, helpedmany of these folks with brick-laying

over two stories. He could be trusted to

make sure the chimneys were straight &

true.

These folks built avery dark house

which stays cool in

temperate in the

winter. It is built

low on the hillside.

I never met the couple who built this home, but I

understand the man is an architect. This house

was built by him, his wife, and some friends. Pretty

impressive for a hand-built home!
