Cloche Encounters

Amy Hamilton's Granville Millinery Company is headquartered in a converted barn beside the 1859 home she shares with her husband, artist Paul Hamilton, and their children, Marcus, 14, and Lillie, 12.

When Amy and Paul first met, at the Columbus College of Art & Design in 1988, they discovered they shared the dream of finding a home with a barn that could be used as an art studio. Almost nine years ago, they bought a six-acre farm outside the college town of Granville, Ohio. They rescued the house, a dilapidated cottage that didn't even have running water until 1985, before turning their attention to the outbuildings.
