Who doesn’t love the sound of church bells ringing! In the spirit of historic preservation Dr. House has just procured the most magnificent church bell. The bell is grand in scale and rich in historic provenance. The bell originates from Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church formerly located at 815 Hamilton Street in Utica, New York. The last known photo of the church fully intact was taken in August of 2011. The church was located in a mainly residential area whose neighbor was a local brewery just one block away. Some time after August of 2011 the church congregation relocated to another location in Herkimer, New York. The Hamilton Street church was dismantled of all the elements that could be sold. In the summer of 2016 a very close friend of Dr. House’s found the bell of the church at the Madison-Bouckville Antique Week fair. Extraordinarily heavy and bolted to huge railroad ties the bell sat. One can imagine the interest the piece generated. But, understandably, practical matters made procuring the artifact somewhat prohibitive. Dr. House’s friend knew immediately this piece would be of great interest to him. With the Amish Barn venue the pairing of the bell and the barn became self evident. Preserving the bell which, no doubt, rang in many celebratory and solemn sacraments became Dr. House’s pursuit. Today the bell resides on the property. Future plans include erecting a bell tower. Our vision is that one day after wedding ceremonies, ring bearers and flower girls will be able to run to the bell and ring it proclaiming loud and clear for all to hear the newly formed bond of man and wife. We are told the bell can be heard for miles around.
