The Red Brick Times

A bit of seasonal history is just the thing for a "dark and stormy night". There was never a burning orphanage massacre on Gore Orphanage Road, but that has never stopped people from thrilling themselves with shivery speculation. A short article at the Spirit Seekers of Ohio site tells an interesting tale. Remember that a "gore" is a tapering piece of land (like a triangle), or in seamery, a tapering piece of cloth or canvas used to shape a garment or sail.

Another site relates more traditional apocrypha, and includes old photos of the private residence that used to stand on the site. Forgotten Ohio details a visit to the site by the writer and his friends "Hoss, Elvis and Redneck" from Toledo. The second site includes links to the first and to others relating to legends of Gore Orphanage Road.
