Ted Lewis - the Museum's unique architecture
Hey Folks!
“Is Everybody Happy ???”
This is the 6th installment of a continuing tribute to the remarkable Ted Lewis.
The Ted Lewis Museum is housed in the one remaining building to ever stand “on the Circle.” Circleville was originally founded around a circular “Indian mound” - hence the name.
At some point, foreshadowing the provincial “wisdom” of today’s civic leaders, the town’s ginks and swells decided to “get with it” and re-built the town - its name notwithstanding - as a square. It’s been square (believe me) ever since – except for Ted Lewis and his museum – notice the distinctive, non-square angles observable from the rear of the building (the result of being oriented to a circle, which dictated "odd," pie-shaped lots).
The Ted Lewis Museum is in Circleville Ohio, at 133 W. Main St., just off State Route 23. It is open Fridays and Saturdays 1:00-5:00 P.M. and by appointment. Call 740-477-3630 for details.
