Becoming Creekside

 

In September 2016, the Barna C. Roup House became the private home of the Newphaces Inc. corporate office and the publishing service projects of its Editor-In-Chief.

Historic Rouphouse quietly evolved into a creative headquarters hosting:

  • Corporate meetings — On-site and Virtual

  • Private gatherings of writers and collaborators

  • On-site and Virtual editing and publishing services

  • Virtual journaling support groups

  • Ice Queen Rising — Private Research Podcast

  • ​

In March 2018, during the first meeting of The Open Book Authors Group, Creekside Publishing was formed.

This was the moment of Becoming Creekside.

Rouphouse became more than a residence — it became an incubator of stories, strategy, and scholarship.

Return to Heritage Tourism

With Creekside Publishing moving to a downtown Brick and Mortar, Rouphouse settled back into a quiet corporate office and heritage tourism icon with a a Master Plan called The Stories of Octus. The goal is to host small exclusive events and the August annual Corporate Garden Party where projects are chosen and causes are furthered.

​

Rouphouse serves as:

  • The private residence of the Newphaces Inc. CEO

  • Corporate headquarters

  • Editorial command center

  • Creative research lab

  • Heritage preservation project

​

It bridges private residence and public legacy — a working historic home shaping modern publishing.​

As CEO and Editor-In-Chief, I steward both story and structure.

Through publishing projects, research podcasts, author groups, and historical preservation, Rouphouse represents:

  • Legacy in motion

  • Scholarship with strategy

  • Heritage with innovation

Current projects include Wikipedia editorial work documenting the home and other local historic properties — preserving narrative while building the future.
