He now spends traveling (and his time telephoning) around the country as an independent down where he grew up, in Lancaster County. He saw an appealing newspaper ad for an ‘‘historically inter- esting’’ house for sale in High ceilings and chandeliers Columbia, and arranged with Betty Markel at Jack advertising and public re- lations consultant to the drag race industry. But Bob, at 34, decided that he was ready to settle Exterior view of the Mifflin House April 27, 1977 Johnson Real Estate to in- spect the house. It was the birthplace of Columbia’s poet and artist, Lloyd Mifflin, on Walnut Street. Ten years ago the Mifflin mansion was in such disrepair that the Borough of Columbia con- sidered razing it. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Schwalm of Lancaster came to the res- cue of the building and lovingly and painstakingly restored it to its former granduer. When the Sch- walms decided that they should move into a Lancas- ter apartment, the house was offered for sale—to someone who would cherish it as the Schwalms did. And Bob Ramsay does. He points proudly to the pink marble facings on the four fireplaces, to the ele- gant curving stair rising from the blue tiled entry hall, to the 12 over 12 colonial windows. He is collecting fine antique furn- iture to complement the large rooms with their chair rails, colonial wallpaper and fine mouldings. Modern conveniences have not been sacrificed. The roomy kitchen, design- ed by Rutt Kitchens, is a housewife’s dream of con- venient cupboards, two stoves, and a butcher block central work table. And in the master bedroom there is a very large water bed. Bob is very happy to settle down in Lancaster County which he calls ‘‘the most beautiful place on earth.”” He feels that ‘‘Co- lumbia is historically inter- esting’ and he enjoys being part of the growing interest in preserving the town’s historical character. Besides, he likes his new neighbors. ] C ( J fo!
