At the corner of Three and Ferris

There is this old house in Columbus. It seats on a busy corner by two highways in a not-so-good area of town. A beautiful, decaying 19th century Italianate house built atop an ancient Native American earthwork.

Two of my favorite things in Ohio- earthworks and Italianate houses, in my favorite Ohio city. I would so happily move there and ponder the origin and use of my own prehistoric monument from the porch.
