**The Eagle's Nest’’, 217
East Market Street, Mari-
etta, has been chosen as
““House of the Month’ for
the month of June.

tion have been an asset to
the community.

- business for the owners
Joseph H. Libhart and
Linda Ross, Joe Libhart, Patrick Pinto, and Nanette
Thomas S. Vicidomini,
**The ‘Eagle’s Nest” has
been restored as an early
19th century townhouse.

the house eight years ago

shows Anna Mae Rohrer of Lititz painting rocks that, children brought to her.
With the special help of
Patrick who gained his
carpentry knowhow at
Vo-tech school, these four
residents have done most
of the restoration work
themselves and still have
many improvements plan-
ned for the property.
A special feature of the
home is a beautifully land-
scaped terrace and rose
garden which was recently
featured in Marietta’s Gar-
den Tour.
The owners restore
paintings, handblown glass
porcelain, and other objects
d’art. When Mr. Libhart
moved his business from
New York he was surprised
to find a large amount of
local business which he
handles in the basement -
workshop of the house.
The fine effort that has
been put into ‘‘The Ealge’s
Nest’’ is another example
of how Marietta residents
are upgrading the commun-
ity with a special combina-
tion; a respect for and
knowledge of past architec-
ture and the enthusiasm
and preserverance neces-
sary to carry out the work
that needs to be done.
