Stories:

Story 1: Ted Kaiser inherited the property from his father, Fred Kaiser, who established the orchard, operated a nursery and sold produce. He called his farm Orchard Hill. In the 1950s he built hotel cottages on the property and called it Orchard Hill Modern Motel. Ted himself was also involved in the family business. His wife is Becky Kaiser.
Story2: Orchard Hill motel cabins burned down by Terrace Park Fire Dept 1987 - valuable experience. (see 900 Wooster)
