Findlay Street Neighborhood House to undergo renovation!

Originally built in the mid 1800, St. Barnabas Church provided support to families in the West End Community. The new St. Barnabas Church located in Montgomery, Ohio still holds Findlay Street Neighborhood House and West End families as its primary mission.

In the mid 1970’s Findlay Street Neighborhood Settlement House and Riverview East Settlement House merged under the parent organization of Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses and the old facility above was torn down and the new facility on the left was built.
