About Ohio Living Mount Pleasant

 

Our History 

During the hot and humid August of 1952, a group of 78 men and 36 women - all volunteers- gathered in the rolling hills north of Cincinnati to begin building what became Ohio Living Mount Pleasant. The volunteers operated from a work campus at Mount Pleasant Church in the tiny village of Monroe, Ohio. After about two weeks, 600 meals and 4,000 hours of work, major construction on Paxton Hall was finished and the first resident cottage was under roof.

Paxton Hall was named in honor of the Reverend William Paxton of College Corner, who made the first major gift to Mount Pleasant building fund. The Reverend Dr. Ronald E. Boyer served as campaign fund director, and later became the home's first administrator from the time it opened in 1953 until his retirement in 1968.

Dr. Boyer welcomed the first residents, sisters Anne and Elizabeth Dinsmore in May 1953. The Dinsmores had traveled from Pittsburgh to occupy their new home sight unseen. Mount Pleasant was the first of the Ohio Living communities to offer individual freestanding homes and the volunteer-built cottage occupied by the Dinsmores was the very first of these. In October of that same year, dedication services were held for Paxton Hall, which provided a home for 15 residents.
