About the Estate
We purchased The Orrmont Estate with the idea of hosting weddings. We want to
provide you with a historic home as a backdrop for your event.
The Orrmont Estate was the family home of the Orr's of the Orr Felt Company in
Piqua, Ohio. It was built around 1895 by Aaron Morrison Orr. It is about 9,000 square
feet, has 11 bedrooms, including 4 servant rooms on the third floor. There are 5
fireplaces, 5 bathrooms and two half baths, a library that opens to the courtyard, and
sun parlor that opens to the terrace.
We believe the Carriage House was built a little bit later than the house and is about
7,000 square feet. There are also servant quarters in the Carriage House (not livable).
The Orrs were into polo as well as horse racing. There are still remnents of a quarter
mile race track on property that used to be a part of the estate.
At one time there was a pool and pool house where the tent is now located, but it was
filled in years ago. There was a water filtration system for the pool in the Spring
House, which we removed when we remodeled it.
We have made changes and improvements to the estate over our time of ownership,
and we try to keep things in the spirit of about 1900, while still being functional for us
today. You can see our projects, to date, on our Projects page.
There are many different kinds of trees to enjoy as you look around the estate including
Empire Ginko, Black Walnut, Golden Rain Tree, Buckeye, Regal Prince Oak, Willow
Oak, River Birch, Bald Cypress, Dawn Redwood, and Kentucky Coffee Tree. You can
sit down by the pond and possibly see ducks, turtles, frogs and fish (koi) and will
surely enjoy the calm surroundings. You can walk the grounds and enjoy the animals
on the estate, some of the ones we have seen are red fox, groundhog, squirrel, raccoon,
skunk, blue heron, owl, hawk, muskrat and deer.
