Town Street Bridge - Columbus Ohio

This photo is from May of 2009 when the old Town Street Bridge was being demolished.  The 1917 structure was a earthen-filled concrete arch bridge.   A new bridge has since been constructed which mirrors the arches of the old bridge but with a modern look.

House - Columbus, Ohio

East Broad Street - A lovely house with an air of mystery about it.  I was actually inside this house once on a tour of homes.  Even though the house sits on busy Broad Street, its extensive gardens make it seem remote and even a little creepy.  I could imagine a glamorous garden jazz age garden party where a guest is found floating in a koi pond or mysteriously falls from an upper story window and lands in the midst of the revelers. 

Office - Columbus, Ohio

2950 East Broad Street - Originally a residence, this 1962 building now houses offices.  The most striking feature when driving down Broad Street is the wire trellis and vines.

House - Columbus, Ohio

Gould Road - This is not the best picture but this little 1951 home is adorable.  The corner window in what is certainly the living room is great and the stonework is very nice as well.
