The research to find out more information about the previous owners of our piano was one in which the true person who helped the resource was Mrs. Wyman. After join the Multicultural Awarness Council for the Symphony, I soon found out that Mrs. Wyman served as Chair of the Symphony Volunteer Organization.
Among the illustrious families who lived in Indian Hill for decades were the Philip Wymans. Their large farm at (then) 8450 Shawnee Run Road encompassed all of current day Wyman Lane and Miralake Drive. Mr. Wyman, Vice- President of the Baldwin Piano Company, and his wife Frances Perin Wyman were widely known socially and in civic circles in Cincinnati and New York City. Mrs. Wyman was an enthusiastic horsewoman. Mr. Wyman was devoted to the musical world and became President of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in 1933. Their farm was named Sleepy Hollow. Known to many as Uncle Phil and Aunt Fran, the Wymans gave memorable large parties for the Symphony Orchestra and guests, and used their large lawn as a parking lot.
