Historic roof restoration complete at Ravenna’s Riddle Block 1

The restoration of the slate roof at historic Riddle Block 1 at 215 S. Chestnut St. in Ravenna has finally been completed after a lengthy process that left workers battling harsh winter weather.

The building serves as one of the most historic landmarks in Ravenna. It is part of the 11-building district known as the Riddle Blocks, which date back to 1931 when the Clark Carriage Company, owned by N.D. Clark, was introduced.
