Church Street ~ Newtown, Ohio

Did you know that the building that The Motz Group calls home is a historical landmark in Newtown, Ohio? Once the center of town life, the familiar red brick building on Newtown's Church Street sat vacant until The Motz Group decided to make it their home.

Mid 1800's - The building, constructed in 1853, originally housed the Universalist Church and the Flag Spring Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows group, recognized as the first international fraternal organization, was formed in England in 1819. Its primary purpse was to aid those in need.

Late 1800's - While the building's top floor originally served as a lodge hall and the church occupied the second floor, the ground floor filled a variety of needs. It held high school classes in the late 1800's, served as town hall for a time and briefly housed the town jail.

December of 2001 Upon completing major renovations, The Motz Group relocated its operations to the building's third floor and opened the lower floors as office space.

Today The Motz Group has grown and now occupies all floors of the beautiful building on Church Street.

Currently we are doing some exciting interior renovations - wallpaper, paint, lighting, furniture - stay tuned for more exciting changes both inside and outside!
