What's Next For Historic Sheep Farmhouse Soon to

What's Next For Historic Sheep Farmhouse

Soon to be surrounded by a new city park, the fate of the c1880s sheep farmhouse - one of the oldest remaining examples of rural vernacular architecture in Northwest Columbus - is unknown.

Register (link in bio) and join us via Zoom on Friday, June 18 at noon for a free presentation by Miranda Nicasio, a graduate student at the Savannah College of Art & Design, who researched and carefully documented this building as an assignment. We hope that Miranda's work shows how repurposing even a common existing building helps meet carbon neutrality goals and hopefully leads toward a productive new use.

Join the conversation to learn more ... and earn one @aiacolumbus CES HSW credit to boot!

Original West High School/Former Starling Middle S

Original West High School/Former Starling Middle School, 1908 & 1950
120 S. Central Ave.

This beautiful Neo-Classical Revival style building was designed by David Riebel, the first architect of Columbus schools. Opened in 1909, it was replaced 20 years later by West High at 179 S. Powell Avenue. This building then became Starling Middle School. In 1950, a gymnasium designed by Howard Dwight Smith, architect of the Ohio Stadium, was added in a similar tan common bond brick, but in a contrasting, asymmetrical cubist form. Link in bio.

Stauf’s Coffee presented with James L. Keyes Pre

Stauf’s Coffee presented with James L. Keyes President’s Award

In 1988, @staufs_coffee began in Columbus and opened their first store in a historic commercial building on Grandview Avenue.

Today with six locations in historic neighborhoods that smell as good as they look, Stauf’s has proven that old buildings and good coffee go really well together. If you haven’t visited their Neil Avenue location in the former Presbyterian Church, head that way for an outstanding example of high-quality adaptive reuse … and a cup of joe, of course.

Let’s raise our mugs to Stauf’s! Link in bio.

OSU Kappa Sigma/Former Robert Neil Mansion, 1938
1842 Indianola Ave.

The stately OSU Kappa Sigma Fraternity Chapter House sits on the site of the Robert Neil “Indianola” mansion. Indianola was a Swiss style home that is believed to have been an Underground Railroad station with tunnels leading to the Olentangy River.

An overhaul renovation that encompasses the Neil home was designed in 1938 by Ray Sims in a “Virginia Colonial Style” to reflect the fraternity’s heritage. Link in bio.

Pythian Temple, 1926
867 Mt. Vernon Ave.

The 1926 Pythian Temple is the only building in Columbus known to have been designed by Samuel Plato, a talented African American architect.

Built in the Renaissance style, the Pythian served as the York Masonic Lodge and as a celebrated theater featuring entertainment legends including Count Basie, Duke Ellington and many more.

In 1987, the Pythian was renovated and connected to Garfield Elementary School to create the King Arts Complex.
