About me

Location	Rayland, OH, United States
Introduction	This project is a collaborative between CUArch and the Hopewell United Methodist Church. It is intended to directly serve the surrounding communities in Jefferson County, OH and the Southeastern Ohio region. By using the site and recovered materials as a means, “by design”, to restore historical culture via functional new spaces that (literally) retain the material culture we hope to raise awareness of the loss of buildings and the culture they encapsulate. This project will serve as a model for rural communities suffering demographic stress, economic instability, and loss of overlooked historic rural structures.
