When it opens in late January, the Estate on Coffee Creek will be an intimate and elegant restaurant that seats only 25 guests. The first floor of the 5,000-square-foot, 19th-century Italianate is broken up into four cozy dining rooms, if you could call them that. The largest can accommodate about a dozen close friends; the smallest, just two couples.</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Luxe touches like Tiffany-style chandeliers, stained-glass windows, a marble fireplace mantel and warm mahogany trim imbue the space with old-world charm; the house was built by a returning gold-rusher and it looks that way. Tempering that gaudy opulence are playful touches like faux-snakeskin wallpaper, a menagerie of wall-mounted taxidermy and a porthole cut into the floor that peers into the wine cellar.</P></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/preservation/" rel="tag">preservation</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/adaptive+reuse/" rel="tag">adaptive reuse</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/ashtabula+county/" rel="tag">ashtabula county</a></div>http://www.freetimes.com/stories/15/81/a-chefs-dreamFri, 21 Nov 2008 13:41:40 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/1CB6F7F6-8958-490D-8EB6-D5B0ACEE1BB5/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/presohio/">presohio</a><br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/08/ashtabula_county_covered_bridg.html" title="http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/08/ashtabula_county_covered_bridg.html">blog.cleveland.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/image_cache/presohio/512/075C9741-8466-4644-843F-CFF7B625EB58.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><H3>Ashtabula County covered bridge will be nation's longest</H3></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">This is big news, folks. Really big. </div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Ashtabula County is set to dedicate the nation's longest covered bridge on Tuesday. (Take that, New Hampshire and Vermont.) The intricate wooden span stretches 613 feet, like a lumber yard pieced together above the flowing floor of the Ashtabula River valley. </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Workers spent two years prepping the site and connecting beefy boards of Southern yellow pine to replace a deteriorated steel bridge along State Road. The record-breaker cost a few splinters less than $8 million, a bill shouldered by federal, state and local tax dollars. </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>The result is . . . well, simply massive. "It's going to grab some attention," promised Tim Martin, the county's engineer. </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Officials expect covered-bridge fans from across the United States to find their way to Ohio's northeast corner to view the green monster. Parking areas are planned near both ends of the structure. </P></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/heritage+tourism/" rel="tag">heritage tourism</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/ashtabula+county/" rel="tag">ashtabula county</a></div>http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/08/ashtabula_county_covered_bridg.htmlSat, 23 Aug 2008 15:12:08 GMT
