THE NAME "1883 LOCALE" IS OUR WAY OF HONORING HISTORY AND THE POWER OF LEGACY.
Built in 1883, the building itself holds entrepreneurial history from the former occupied Connell Hardware being the oldest business in the state of Ohio for many years. Hollis and Louise, Chrissy Logesky’s grandparents, were among the firsts to introduce pizza shops to Ohio as Vick's Pizza right next door in 1961. Vick’s Pizza, our owners parents, moved from next door into the bottom floor in 2015 after being in the same building next door for over 50 years. They worked hard to establish and grow their business and it has carried on for two generations already. Because of their hard work, continuing the legacy, Andrew and Chrissy Logesky, their daughter and her family, are the owners of 1883 Locale. They look forward to using their 11+ years of wedding industry experience as photographers in a new way here at the venue. They have designed and made every decision with beautiful memories and photos in mind.

Are you a history buff? A lot of people are around here so here are some more fun facts!
Here is an article from The Reynoldsburg Historical Society-
"Mason Hall," built in 1883, using brick from the local Dysart & Henderlick "tile mill," is probably the oldest business building in The Burg. Several kinds of merchants have had their quarters on the ground floor: two or three general stores, a bank, a Christian bookstore and Western Union office, an art school, grocery stores, a post office, a bakery, the local Chamber of Commerce. On the second floor (and up 16 stairs but in constant use anyway), "Mason’s Opera House" sheltered dances, high school graduations, minstrel shows, Chautauqua shows, Lyceum courses, debates, basketball games, a duckpin bowling alley, a teen center, offices, shuffleboard courts, a furniture storage warehouse, and for 18 years at $1 a year, the Reynoldsburg-Truro Historical Society's first Museum. Nathaniel N. Mason probably did not expect his building to last 136 years constantly in use.
