Worthington area history

This is a photo from March 1940 of the northwest corner of the intersection of Park Road and Galena Road from Don O'Brien's series on Flickr.  Mr. O'Brien who posts photos on Flickr as dok1 . Please visit his Flickr photo stream to walk the  Worthington Streets in a series of photos he took in the 1930's and 1940's, growing up in  the Worthington area.

This would have been way out in the country back then...  He wrote on a photo showing the Methodist Children's home on High Street, that it was in the country north of Worthington.  The north border of Worthington was still North Street.

Galena Road is now known as Worthington - Galena Road. This is inside 270 so south of the Polaris area now.

The corner today - Map of the intersection of Park Rd and Worthington  Galena Rd.

There is a CVS drugstore on the the southwest corne of the intersection now. On the southwest corner there's  a strip mall, Worthington Centre with a Kroger, the store front library, a Blockbuster Video Store, a Dairy Queen, a Wendy's, a Taco Bell and more.  There is a large rental community on the north east corner of the intersecton today.

There is a house on the northwest corner still.... that house is in the city of Columbus and the Worthington School District according to the Franklin County Auditors's Website... The Franklin County Auditors site says the house was built in 1900.
