The Geiser House
The Geiser House was a German style cabin located in Orrville, Ohio, demolished
soon after sampling.
Before the house was torn down, we were able to freely sample. We used our
preferred method of sampling:
chain sawing cross-sections of beams. The house has been successfully dated
to 1835 and beams from this cabin
extended the Northeastern Ohio chronology to AD 1555.
