On Saturday evening Joyce and her husband, Judge James L. Kimbler, were docents for the Twilight Stroll Home Tour sponsored by the South Court Historic Neighborhood Association. The tour covered several homes on South Court Street and Broadway Street in Medina. The tour lasted from 5-9 pm and several hundred people took the tour.
Joyce and Jim were docents at a home recently purchased by Brad and Kelly Wagner. The home had been a rental unit for several years, but the Wagners are rehabilitating the home and plan to start living in the home this fall. This is the second home that the Wagners have restored, the first being in Urbana, Ohio, which is Brad's hometown.
The home is the actually one of the three oldest homes on South Court street, but since the exterior was covered with shingles in the 1940s or early 1950s it doesn't have the same appearance as homes on South Court Street that were actually built later than the Wagner home.
The Wagner home is an example of a home being changed from a rental unit to a owner-occupied home. Many of the Wagner's new neighbors stopped in to say hello and meet Molly. Unfortunately Brad was not able to take part in the tour since he is fulfilling an obligation to the Army National Guard.
