Minster, Ohio

St. Augustine's Catholic Church is a historic Gothic Revival-style Roman Catholic church building located on North Hanover Street in Minster, Ohio, United States. Located in the region of western Ohio known as the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches," the church was built in 1848. In 1874, the building was modified with the construction of twin Gothic spires designed by Anton Goehr. Beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, St. Augustine was one of the three mother churches for the Society of the Precious Blood that served the Catholics of the region; it kept this position until the end of the century, and it is the only one of the three yet remaining. While many other churches in the region were built in the middle of the nineteenth century, few remain today, and only St. Augustine and St. John's to the northeast are yet used as parish churches.On July 26, 1979, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the "Cross-Tipped Churches of Ohio" multiple property submission. Today, St. Augustine's and St. Joseph's Church in nearby Egypt constitute the Minster Cluster of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Despite a split in the business in 1905, the Boesels remained in control of the original corporation, which was soon renamed the "First City Bank of New Bremen." Adolph Boesel later became president of this corporation, which in 1923 maintained deposits of nearly $570,000.: 422  Adolph was the son of Jacob Boesel, a two-term member of the Ohio House of Representatives, who was Charles' oldest son. Besides serving the community as a banker for more than forty years,: 471–472  Boesel was a member of the local government, acting as the village's treasurer in 1905.Boesel erected his house along Franklin Street on the village's western side in 1898; after he left the residence, it was the home of Alfred Rabe. A two-story structure with an attic, the house is a distinctive example of local architecture. In recognition of its place in local history, the Adolph Boesel House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

The William Luelleman House (also known as the Gerhard Hehemann House) is a historic house in downtown New Bremen, Ohio, United States. Designed by an unknown architect and built in 1837, it is the oldest structure in the village, and it has been ranked as a leading example of German architecture on the American frontier. Among its leading details are the symmetry of the windows and doors of its facade, the glass transom windows above the doors, and the existence of a stoop rather than a porch at the entrance to the building.Although the house is known primarily by Luelleman's name, it has been owned and used by a succession of individuals unrelated to Luelleman and his family. It was built for community leader Gerhard Hehemann, and in later years it was home to the village's post office, a shop, and a Dutch Reformed church. Even while it was maintained for commercial or religious purposes, parts of the house continued to be used as a residence for multiple families.In 1975, the Luelleman House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its well-preserved historic architecture. As one of the best examples of German architecture in a heavily German community, it was seen as historically significant statewide. Today, it is the location of a museum operated by the New Bremen Historic Association, which has owned the house since shortly after its establishment in 1973.
