The HEART of Appalachian Ohio Project will see the revitalization of the former Riverview Florist Building in East Liverpool and enhancements made to the 80-acre property it sits upon.
The large 1930s building was constructed in the Tudor style and has significant architectural details. The building has been sitting abandoned for many years and the East Liverpool CIC has invested heavily in the removal of the old greenhouses.
Restoration of the front of the building will occur and the addition of a large event space will be added to the rear of the building. Bringing in elements that will highlight the greenhouse history and Tudor style will be key, so the new event space will be constructed with a greenhouse style glass roof that ties in the old with the new. Utilizing the example of the Wintersville Fire Department and Florian Hall the CIC will lease the property out to spur economic growth in the region.
Trails will be developed throughout the property that will highlight the old production pond, a small stream, Renner Falls waterfall, and ultimately connect with the historic Thompson Park. The trails will be crushed limestone in the field areas and potentially compacted earth through the wooded area.
A parking lot will be added that is of a size capable to handling large events.
