Glenbrow - Columbus, Ohio

7495 East Broad Street - This will be the first of three posts on Glenbrow (The Gunning House) since there are just too many pictures. I drove past this house for years. In the winter time one could catch glimpses of it through the barren trees and it always looked very interesting. One sunny afternoon this May I decided it was time to stop by. The house was vacant and for sale so it was time for a little exploration. Today we start at the very beginning (a very good place to start). The house is virtually invisible from the street. When you come up the driveway the only thing visible is the Carport and Tower, so that is what today's pictures show. As will be shown as the photos continue, due to the way the house is positioned on this piece of ravine property and the design of the house itself, it is virtually imposible to get a picture of the house as a whole. As a result, most of these pictures are of a more detailed nature. I never was able to get a good shot from the ravine side of the house but you can find one at the link below along with much more detailed information about the history of the house itself.

Train Depot - Pickerington Ohio

North Center Street - This charming train depot in Pickerington Ohio was built by the Toledo & Ohio Central Railroad. I was unable to find much information on the structure and the only construction date I was able to find was 1879 but I don't know how accurate that is.

Found this cool gate on a commercial building while strolling around Philadelphia in July 2006.

Gates And Gardens - St. Augustine, Florida

Some random pictures taken while walking the streets and alleys of St Augustine in February 2008.

Mid-Century Homes - Palm Springs, California

Here we have an assortment of Mid-Century Modern houses in beautiful Palm Springs. Palm Springs has an abundance of fantastic Mid-Century architecture and much of their tourism is based on it. Unfortunately it is a constant battle to keep these buildings from being demolished by developers. These pictures were taken in October of 2007.

Columbus Main Library - Columbus, Ohio

96 South Grant Avenue - The two historical marker photos pretty much say it all. A modern building and parking garage were later added to the back of the building to increase capacity.
