The Season
“Redbud Blooms” at the Coal Mines
One of Akron’s most visible, influential and cultural champions in the early 20th
century, Stan Hywet matriarch Gertrude Seiberling also left a beautiful and very
personal legacy in the works of art she created.
Influenced by this legacy, the
2019 theme, Lasting Impressions,
celebrated Gertrude’s passion for
painting, which she discovered
late in life and continued to pursue
until she could no longer hold a
paintbrush.
Stan Hywet’s curator reached
deep into the archives to identify a
select collection of Gertrude’s most
enduring canvases of the estate’s
iconic gardens. Fifteen paintings
inspired Fused, a lush summer
garden gallery created by 4 artists
exhibited throughout the gardens.
The Art of Gertrude Seiberling, the
fifth book in a series on the estate,
was also released to coincide with
the exhibit.
S T A N H Y W E T H A L L & G A R D E N S
Throughout the season, art played
a prominent role. The annual
Father’s Day Car Show, the annual
Gala presented as A Chef’s Canvas,
and Deck the Hall’s a Classic Comic
Hero Christmas were among the events
that were approached from an artist’s perspective.
STAN HYWET
HALL & GARDENS
Our mission is to preserve
and share our historic estate
and serve as a resource for
educational, cultural and
recreational enrichment.

Dear Friends
In 2019, we shared the passion of Gertrude Seiberling for the arts along with her many talents as an artist herself with the season’s theme
Art: Lasting Impressions. Gertrude used her artistic vision to lead the design of the estate of Stan Hywet and later in life used the very same
design elements of the estate as a basis for her own art. The programs, exhibits, tours and activities of the season spotlighted her work
drawing over 126,000 visitors from near and far.
As part of the season, Stan Hywet sought out the talents of local artist to create Fused, a garden exhibit utilizing Gertrude’s paintings
as inspiration melding modern art with the old showcasing 15 sculptures throughout the gardens for all to enjoy. In the manor house,
Gertrude’s paintings were displayed as an art gallery throughout its halls providing a deeper look into her skills as an artist.
Stan Hywet continued to engage new community partners working with Akron Marathon organizers and partners throughout the city to
host the starting line of the newly designed Akron Marathon course. Thousands of runners gathered on the grounds of Stan Hywet on that
September morning to begin their journey throughout Akron in support of Akron Children’s Hospital and many other individual causes. Stan
Hywet also continued its work to remove financial barriers of access to those in need through its partnership with Akron Public Schools to
provide 2,000 memberships to APS families free of charge along with continuing the “Museums for All” program in collaboration with four
other peer organizations (Akron Zoo, Akron Art Museum, Akron Children’s Museum and Summit County Historical Society).
Stan Hywet once again presented fun filled public events including the Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast, Father’s Day Car Show featuring
art cars, the first annual “Off the Vine” wine tasting and culinary event, Shakespeare showcasing “Hamlet” and “Measure for Measure”,
the second year of the Molto Bella Auto Show welcoming over 4,500 car enthusiasts in partnership with the Summit County Kidney
Foundation, another record setting Ohio Mart and Deck the Hall celebrating “Class Comic Hero Christmas”. Deck the Hall, using the
superpowers of its staff and volunteers, saw over 36,000 guests and for the third straight year was recognized as one of the top five
“Historic Holiday Tours” by USA Today.
The grounds and gardens throughout the estate reflected the beauty of a painting as a result of the artistry of our dedicated horticulture
team and volunteers. In addition to providing a place of respite and inspiration to all of our visitors, the gardens provided a backdrop for
over 48 wedding ceremonies with couples celebrating their special day and over 21 Corporate events planned and executed by Stan
Hywet’s committed Rentals team.
Stan Hywet’s restoration efforts continued in 2019. More restored rooms were revealed including the Billiard Room and F.A.’s Office.
We were extremely excited to complete restoration of the trim work and balconies of the Manor House while planning for the Lagoon
Restoration project. These projects continue our initiatives developed as part of the 2015 2nd Century restoration campaign and could not
have been accomplished without the generous support provided by our donors ensuring this amazing place of rich history will be around
for many years to come.
As we make are way through the challenges of 2020, we are so thankful for the continued support of all of our visitors, donors and
volunteers standing with Stan Hywet has they have throughout its over sixty year history. We look forward to the bright future of Stan
Hywet sharing its legacy and resources with all of you.
With continued gratitude,

The Art of
Gertrude Seiberling
In 2019, Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens
celebrated the artistic career of Gertrude
Seiberling with an exhibition of 30 of her
works of art in the Manor House, and a
companion catalog available for sale in
Molly’s Shop. In the gardens, a display of
sculpture by local artists was inspired by
Gertrude’s paintings.
Gertrude Seiberling was a national figure
in music appreciation and education, and
a founding member of the Tuesday Musical
Club in Akron and the St. Cecilia Society.
She served as president of the National
Federation of Music Clubs from 1919 to
1921, and was heavily involved as a board
member for almost a decade afterwards.
At the age of 64, after decades of service
to her family and community, Gertrude
Seiberling quietly returned to her childhood love of painting. While it had been more than forty
years since she had picked up a paintbrush, Gertrude had never stopped thinking like an artist.
In an interview with the Akron Times-Press in February 1931, she said, “I was constantly seeing
pictures around me. This contrast, that arrangement of trees, the colors of a flower garden,
always presented themselves to me in terms of pictures and in my mind I would work out a
composition.”
Gertrude devoted herself to painting from this point forward. She regularly took art classes and
was a founding member of the Women’s Art League in Akron. She was also a board member of
the Akron Art Institute from 1935 to 1937. Her work was exhibited at Northeast Ohio museums,
and she also garnered two solo exhibitions at the Akron Art Institute in 1938 and 1946 as well
three solo exhibitions with the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors in New York
City. Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens documented over 140 paintings by Gertrude Seiberling, most of
which are in the museum’s collection.

Garden Exhibit
Four Northeast Ohio artists led by Stan Hywet’s Joe Ott created the exhibit, FUSED.
Each artist created original sculptures for display in the historic gardens inspired by
Gertrude Seiberling. The artists created sculptures in metal and wood fusing modern
methods to complement the painting techniques of Gertrude’s art.
My participation in the FUSED
exhibit was an amazing
experience, and a wonderful
opportunity to connect with
other artists who share
similar vision. Stan Hywet is
a magical place!
- Mike Ensminger
I was absolutely thrilled to
showcase my artwork in
the beautiful gardens of
such a well know historical
landmark. I’m grateful
Stan Hywet asked me and
some incredibly talented
colleagues to be part of a
tremendous celebration of art
within my own community.
- Megan L. Shane
As a blacksmith accustomed
to working in classical
architectural forms, the FUSED
exhibit allowed me to explore
and expand the boundaries of
conceptual work.
- Kim Thomas
“After working as a staff member for 6 years and
getting to put my artistic talents and creativity to
use in various projects around the estate it was
such a pleasure and honor to get to display my own
personal artwork as well as be given
the opportunity to curate and lead
the other artists in the FUSED
exhibit. Knowing the property and
estate as well as I do, it was so fun
to fabricate pieces that really fit in
to the gardens and honor Gertrude
Seiberling’s work. I look forward
to getting to lend my talents
throughout the estate for
years to come.”
- Joe Ott
Director of Facilities
and Maintenance

Food & Wine
Fir Trees Along Lake Shore
Off the Vine
With flowers in full bloom, Stan Hywet’s natural beauty and landscape created the perfect palate
to enjoy an evening of food, wine, music and art at Off the Vine. Presented in late July, more
than 900 guests spent a leisurely evening exploring the estate’s gardens and grounds, while
sampling from more than 60 fine wines matched with elegantly designed and crafted small
plates, desserts and cheeses.
The delicate sounds of a harp and the resonant beat
of a jazz ensemble and othersc created the perfect
atmosphere for the evening. Along the wine path,
guests were drawn in to 15 original works of art
created by local artists inspired by the paintings of
Gertrude Seiberling.

Vintage & Exotic Cars
Father’s Day Car Show
Molto Bella Auto Show
A more recent addition to the Stan Hywet event landscape was the 6th annual
Molto Bella Auto Show, held at the estate for the 2nd time in September 2019.
The show field featured more than 400 exotic sports cars, rare classics, vintage
Ferraris and custom cars – a vast artistic spectacle of automotive exuberance.
Created in memory of Camillo “Mel” Todaro to benefit the Kidney Foundation,
car owners went above and beyond to make the show a robust expression of
design and power, attracting more than 4,500 guests. The successful event has
attracted the attention of exotic car owners from around the country, leading to
an expanded event that will include the traditional preview dinner and new in
2020, an auto auction to take place in front of the Manor House.
For 62 years, Stan Hywet has been the site of
a favorite family tradition, the Father’s Day Car
Show. Presented in partnership with the Ohio
Region Classic Car Club of America, the event has
attracted as many as 8,000 guests in prior years.
In 2019, a day long deluge of rain overshadowed
the show, but it didn’t stop more than 2,000 guests
from venturing to the estate.
Considered by many to be an art form, the show
cars’ early 20th century styling and amenities;
now considered classic, antique and collector
quality; were designed for aesthetics, and to elicit
an emotional response. In 2019 especially, these
unique cars were a natural fit for the season’s
artistic theme.

Ohio Mart
Presented by the Auxiliary Board of Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, the 53rd annual
Ohio Mart featured more than 125 artists working in a variety of media including
photography, ceramics, jewelry, and wearable art on a beautiful weekend in
October. Guests also had the opportunity to enjoy Inspiration in Bloom in the
Manor House, and the Textile Arts and Artisan Show, presented by the Stan
Hywet Needlework Guild, in the Manor House Reception Hall. More than 6,000
guests attended Ohio Mart, exceeding the prior record set in 2016 by 17.6%, and
achieving revenue in excess of $300,000 for the first time.

Christmas
Snow Patterns
Deck the Hall
Classic Comic Hero Christmas
Artistic expression took on an entirely new meaning at the holidays. Those who are
young (and young at heart) found special joy in igniting their inner super hero at
Christmas when comic book characters overtook 16 rooms of the Manor House.
Batman, Spiderman, Thor, Wonder Woman and others filled the Christmas trees,
lurked in unexpected corners, and surprised unsuspecting guests with their largerthan-life
presence.
Further powering the excitement was a local group of certified Lego artists who
demonstrated their unique talents in the Great Hall with a gallery of super hero
portraits made from Lego bricks. The theme was instrumental in attracting new
audiences, (including more youth than ever before), and exceeding the overall
budget for both attendance and revenue.

Education
Back Door of the Kent Mansion
Essential Experiences
Fifth-graders in the Akron Public Schools participated
in Essential Experiences, funded for three years by GAR
Foundation. One of six local organizations, the goal of the
program is to connect classroom learning to local culture
and history, complementing to the classroom curriculum.
This new educational approach gave Stan Hywet the
opportunity to not only expand access to Meet the Staff, a curriculum that had served
approximately one-third of Akron’s 5th grade students over the previous six years,
but to take it to a new level with specific pre- and post-activities, college and
career targets, and advanced technology elements built into the initiative.

Community Engagement

Akron Children’s Hospital
40th Anniversary Celebration for retired CEO Bill Considine
In October, Stan Hywet was privileged to be the location for the retirement party of William H.
Considine, CEO of Akron Children’s Hospital. Guests gathered under a giant tent on the Great
Meadow to celebrate this community leader’s dedication and accomplishments that have
benefitted so many in Akron and throughout the region. It was an honor to play a role in Bill’s
retirement celebration, and we send our best wishes to Bill and his wife, Becky.
Akron Marathon
Bringing the entire community together has always been a cornerstone
of the Akron Marathon. When the course was redesigned for the 2019
series, race officials reached out to Stan Hywet with a request to begin
the event at the estate’s iconic front gate. It presented an opportunity
to be part of a well-designed effort for race participants to touch major
points of interest throughout Akron, and to apply the art of negotiation
to a myriad of logistics that met the Marathon’s complicated needs
while also respecting the historic landscape.
A small but mighty contingent of staff took special pride in representing
Stan Hywet as they participated in the Relay, joining the more than
20,000 race participants on the beautiful September morning.

Restoration
Telegraph Poles - Kent
Manor House Restoration
Restoration of the Manor House interiors continued, part of the $1M Room-by-Room
Restoration, funded by donors to the 2nd Century Campaign in 2015.
In 2019, the Billiard Room and F.A.’s Office were refurbished. Custom-made fabric was created
for curtains in the Billiard Room, and gold velvet fabric was purchased to construct the new
curtains in F.A.’s Office. The seat cushions were re-upholstered in brown mohair fabric,
replacing cushions from the 1970s, and matching the original color and design. Lamp shades
were re-covered by ICA Art Conservation, and new metal and mica shades were custom-made
at Whitney Stained Glass for a floor lamp in F.A.’s Office.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Kramer funded the restoration of F.A.’s Office. The Billiard Room
restoration was funded by Manor House Interior gifts contributed to the 2nd Century Campaign.
The Stan Hywet Needlework Guild funded the re-creation of the five tassels for the bell pulls in
the Great Hall, Round Room, Music Room, Cromwell Bedroom and Solarium.
ICA Cleveland restored two torchieres outside the entrance to the Great Hall near the Linenfold
Hallway. The Chinese Collar was returned and re-installed over the fire place in the Solarium.

ARRC Projects
In 2019, ARRC began the restoration of the Gate
Lodge Kitchen in preparation for the new Gate
Lodge exhibit. The kitchen, when restored to its
1930s appearance, will provide additional space
to tell the story of the beginnings of Alcoholics
Anonymous in the Gate Lodge.
In Cuyahoga Falls, ARRC was the construction
manager for the redevelopment of the Westfield
Bank building into a new branch of Portage
Community Bank. The façade was redesigned
in a neo-Classical look that takes architectural
cues from the nearby post office, while matching
the colors of the historic buildings in the
neighborhood. It is Portage Community Bank’s
first location in Summit County.
Nearby, on Merriman Road, ARRC worked on
a customized kitchen addition that matches
seamlessly with the 1920s residence, designed
by architect Roy Firestone. In Richfield, Ohio,
ARRC provided preservation consulting services
to Braun & Steidl, the primary architect of the
restoration of Kirby’s Mill, a historic mill at local
community park Richfield Heritage Preserve
(formerly Girl Scout Camp Crowell Hilaka).
