COLUMBUS, Ohio-Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD) and Loth, Inc., announce a public open house at the Sloter Mansion, 475 E. Town St. on Sunday, April 17 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. This is the first public viewing of the historic home since it was left to CCAD by Ronald C. Sloter in 2007. CCAD has partnered with Loth, Inc., Coalesse Furniture, and Maharam Textiles to allow visitors to view the home and experience the opulent turn-of-the-century architecture, including a room adorned from floor to ceiling in Rookwood Pottery tiles.

In addition, some unique modern furniture is staged throughout the house, including Danish-inspired Hans Wegner pieces and the emu collection from Coalesse. The settings have been used by Interior Design students from CCAD as backdrops for their hand-drawing / sketching class projects. The sketches will be showcased during the open house.

Loth Director of Sales John Myers said, "We are excited to not only be able to show off this treasure of Columbus architecture but to also highlight the work of the CCAD students."

Suggested admission is $5. Proceeds from the open house benefit the CCAD Scholarship Fund.
