  22. a photo of this home is attached at Carl and Mildred Gieseck. This 20Aproperty was originally owned by Henry Harrison Gieseck. Henry got intosome financial trouble and Frank P Geiseck took over the farm and itspayments. Frank never lived there, but allowed his newly wedded son,Harry Ray to occupy the house. Harry and Frank farmed the land together
  23. living in the original home built by Henry and Fredrica Gieseck. Theirson, Harry F, lived here on his first day of school. They lived theretwo years, before moving into the big Brick across the street. In thejoint farming venture of Harry Ray and his father, Frankling P, cattlewas raised at this original old house farm. Another family, the Blacks,added on a garage and breezeway to the back of the original home. Butthe rest of the house is as it was back in the early days of Harry'slifetime. The room on the back of the home was a summer kitchen. Thisphoto of the home was taken in 2005.
  24. in the fine brick home built by his great-grandfather, Henry Gieseck. Healso owned a big barn in Pataskala, they called it the "Hay Barn". Thisbarn was so big, it has six lofts. In the winter time for additionalincome, he would sell hay and straw to the riding companys and the meatpacking places. Harry R bought the family homestead and built manyadditional outbuldings on the property. His son, Harry F., "Sonny", gaveus these details as he remembers the farm:

    All walls were 18 inches thick of solid bricks, made there in thebrick/tile kiln on the Gieseck farm.
    They were that way from the bottom of the basement walls all the way tothe roof.
    The basement had 3 big rooms.
    First was what Sonny calls the "Laundry Room" was under the kitchen andsame size as kitchen
    One room under front living room, which they called the "cellar" forkeeping of canned goods also had wine stored.
    The third room, under the north bedroom, was where they kept therePotatoes, Onions.
    It has all kinds of Potato bins there, that room had to kept cool.
    Harry's dad made wine in a wood barrel from grapes grown on the farm.
    He quit making it though as his sons kept drinking it.

    The main floor had the kitchen, a living room, a "Sunday" living room,an old bedroom off of the living room.
    Added to the back of the home, was a room used as a "summer kitchen"which included a pantry.
    This area is where they fed the hired help.
    The whole house had been painted a barn red.
    Harry Ray had the home sand blasted and repointed (repair to the mortorbetween the bricks) in the 1960's.
    He also had the front porch added and enclosed in glass windows.
    The building of the Big Brick was Frederica Krumm Gieseck's pet project,according to family lore.

    The southwest corner of the main floor was the living room. Thenorthwest room was used as a "Sunday living room" when Sonny was achild. It was used to entertain when Sunday visitors came to the home.Later on it was changed into a bedroom.
    Upstairs the front two bedrooms were very large rooms.
    At the back of the house was a porch at one time, but Harry Ray had itclosed in with brick.
    The pantry of the summer kitchen Harry R changed into a bathroom on oneside, and in later years he added yet another bathroom across the hallin the other half of the pantry.
    Upper level of the summer kitch is a walk-in attic.

    The garage on the property, to the south, has been there probably aslong as the house. Originally it was a shed with two doors, these wereremoved and one big sliding door added, to make it a garage. At the rearof the farm-yard are two long machinery sheds. These were old Airplanehangers originally located in Etna, Oh, which Harry Ray tore down andbrought here.
    When Harry Ray bought the farm, all that was there was the garage andthe red barn which is out by the road. All other current buildings heerected as the farm grew in his lifetime. This included a fine Farrowinghouse, a cement barn with 8-10 stalls for the sows to have their pigs.The red barn by the road was used to house their 3-4 bore hogs. Theyalso had a building called the "weaning floor". Then the hogs wererotated up in stalls until they were ready to go to market. At theheight of Harry R.'s hog operation, 20-25 hogs went to market everyMonday. He sold this home to his brother, Charles Gieseck upon hisretirement
