movement and generated interest.
14/19's board hopes to pair each
house with a corporate sponsor,
providing to them naming rights as
well as some design influences.
Blyth Cowbell Brewing Company
has already signed on for the first
tiny house.
The houses would likely be
predominantly used by visiting
artists who are running programs at
the CCRC, Stewart said, as those
projects are designed to be more
intensive. The programs could last
between three days and three weeks
and being on-site and having that
kind of housing would likely be
preferable for the artists.
When not in use, they could find
use as rental properties, helping to
fund the CCRC.
When the project was originally
pitched, there was discussion of
more than two tiny houses
and Stewart says that is still the
plan.
"We're hoping to have a
community of tiny houses," she said.
"That is the long-term goal."
Right now, however, 14/19 Inc.
doesn't have the land or the
resources to start the project which
could include eight to 10 tiny
houses somewhere other
than the CCRC grounds in the
community.
"There are ideas floating around
like (a tiny) home
Canadian advocacy group as any structure under 500 square feet,
organizations like the Blyth Festival who search for accomodations
lyth Arts and Cultural Initative 14/19 Inc. representatives. (Photo
about where they could be put, but
reality and practicality of the
suggestions need to be assessed,"
she said.
When it does come time to
proceed with the project, she
said the organization's board will
consider community partner-
ships as well as designs that
will fit the area where the

tiny house community is placed.
Currently, there is a committee for
the proposed community that
includes noted historical
architectural consultant Thor
Dingman as well as Huron County
planners.
The proposed tiny house
community isn't quite shovel -ready,
Stewart said, however, she said if
land became available and the
project could go forward the
committee could mobilize very
quickly.
Stewart said the 10 -structure
community would draw not just on
the area around it, but the village of
Blyth as a whole for its design and
provide another reason for people to
visit the village.
"Blyth is a creative community
that is different and fun and
this would provide different
accommodations," she said.
