Where Is the Olde Parsonage Showroom and What Can You See There?
Updated
Olde Parsonage is a family-owned home decorating business in Ashland, Ohio, and its current showroom is located at 1611 Eagle Way. The doors there opened on November 1, 2006, and the space is designed as an easy-access, single-floor showroom of roughly 10,000 square feet. If you are remodeling a kitchen, choosing cabinets for a new home, or shopping for lighting, bathroom fixtures, or window treatments, this is the place to see the products in person.
What the showroom offers
The showroom is built around seeing and comparing full-size products rather than browsing a catalog. According to the company, visitors will find:
- Dozens of cabinets and vanities on display, so you can compare door styles, finishes, and layouts side by side.
- Hundreds of lighting fixtures and lamps in styles ranging from traditional to contemporary.
- Bathroom displays to help you plan a bathroom update.
- Window blinds and shades for dressing up a room.
- Decorating accessories and advice — the business describes itself as catering to north central Ohio's decorating needs, from small closet lights to more luxurious pieces.
The single-floor layout matters if you have trouble with stairs or want to move through the showroom quickly. Everything is on one level.
Who runs it and how long it has been around
Olde Parsonage is family owned and operated. It was started in January 1986 by Rick and Tina McFrederick. Tina, the co-owner, originally had the idea to start an interior decorating business in Ashland. The couple found an old Victorian house on Sandusky Street that had been divided into five apartment units and had originally served as a parsonage for a church across the street. They renovated the units one by one and named the business after the building's history.
After about six years, the business outgrew that house. A building on Smith Road was purchased and remodeled, and warehouse space was added later. The current Eagle Way building is roughly double the size of the previous one. Their children, Luke and Joe, now work in the business full time.
Planning a visit
The company invites customers to discuss their projects and offers expert advice during the selection process. If you want to talk through a kitchen remodel, cabinet choices, or lighting before you come in, the site provides a contact form under "Send Us A Message" and a "Want to discuss your project?" prompt.
A few practical points to keep in mind:
- Bring measurements and photos of the rooms you are working on. With dozens of cabinets and vanities on display, having your dimensions on hand makes it much easier to narrow down options.
- Know your style direction — traditional, contemporary, or somewhere in between — since the lighting selection alone spans a wide range of designs.
- Ask about availability and pricing in person. The website does not publish prices or an online ordering system, so the showroom visit or a direct message is how you get specifics.
- Check current hours before driving out. The site does not list them in the material available here, so confirm before making a trip.
The showroom is described as easily accessible from anywhere in Ohio, which makes it a reasonable stop for customers across the region rather than just Ashland residents.
