Letter to
the Editor
Dear Editor:
Your article about the
Marietta Community House
was a welcome tribute
regarding this fine structure
and its dedication in mem-
ory of Lieutenant Benjamin
Hiestand, the young aviator
who was killed during World
War L
There were, however,
several discrepancies which
should be corrected regard-
ing the exact history of the
building. It was constructed
in 1875 by Amos Bowman
and served as a residence
for the Bowman family until
1909. In 1911, it was
purchased by Dr. H.M.
Alexander & Co. (which
subsequently became Gilli-
land Laboratories, Inc. and
are today Wyeth Laborator-
ies, Inc.). The building was
converted into a ‘‘Pasteur
"-stitute’’, called ‘‘The
mes’’, for the purpose of
housing patients who had
been bitten by mad dogs or
other rabid animals. In
1919, Mr. and Mrs.
Hiestand purchased it and
donated it to the com-
munity. A corporation was
formed, the Board of
Directors of which operates
the facility fulfilling its
charter purpose of ‘‘promot-
ing the spiritual, intellect-
ual, educational, social and
physical welfare’’ of the
citizens of the Marietta
Community.
The educational TV sta-
tion from Penn State took
some footage of the Com-
munity House being used by
Scouts and Brownies which
should appear as one of
about ten commercials ad-
vertising use of historic
buildings which have been
preserved. As this building
enters its second century,
we hope that the community
will continue to use it and to
appreciate its honored his-
tory.
