About Us

Built and established in 1845, Our building was originally "Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church" which was the first church in Marion, Ohio. Upon the development of the railway system throughout Marion The church choose to move locations due to at the time the location not being suitable for hosting quiet church services during prime railway hours. Upon the church moving across downtown, Marion local and industrialist/inventor Edward Huber purchased the property to expand his brand "The Huber Manufacturing Company" from 1866 until forming The Marion Power Shovel. Upon continuous expansion the building was then sold and then purchased by Houghton Sulky Co. in 1907. Founder W.H Houghton was responsible for building some of the worlds finest show carts. Houghton Sulky Co. occupied the building until around 2007. The building for some time and had sat empty and had multiple miscellaneous owners but now has begun preservation and redevelopment by us "McGeorge Enterprises".
