Description
Harmonist Granary at 413 Granary St.""The Granary is an outstanding example of Harmonist architecture and is individually documented in the Historic American Building Survey. This structure was originally built by the Harmonie Society in 1818. In 1827, after the end of the Owen/Maclure experiment, the Granary became Williams Maclure�s property. In 1843, David Dale Owen gained possession of the building and converted the space for use as a geological laboratory. [David Dale Owen died in 1860, and after his death this building saw use as a woolen mill (see evidence under the eaves), burned in 1878, rebuilt as a granary in 1893, and finally remodeled into a wheat granary in 1905.] In 1948, Owen descendant Kenneth Dale Owen purchased the building. The structure underwent extensive restoration and reconstruction from 1997-1999, and is currently owned by the Rapp Granary-Owen Foundation." (http://visitnewharmony.com/playexplore_cpt/granary/).
