When you think of historic Worthington you think of colonial revival architecture or I do.... but Rush Creek Village in Worthington is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Worthington Ohio modern! The community of Usonian style homes are historic. Did you see the article in last Sundays Columbus Dispatch about the two NEW homes being built in Rush Creek Village now. Written by Jim Weiker " Couples faced, overcame myriad obstacles in quest to build in Worthington's historic Rush Creek" but they are "hammering them out"
The Usonian style development, a historic Worthington neighborhood is on the south east side of the city. The two couples building new homes have lived in Rush Creek for years. One of the most interesting parts of Weiker's articles to me is about the lots the two families bought.
"The Hardings, it turned out, did not own the lots. Per Rush Creek's distinctive rules, they owned only the right to build on the lots, not the land itself, which was held by Rush Creek Village."
The Hardings are George and Herndon Harding, brothers who had inherited the lots or as it turns out the right to build on the two lots according to Weiker's article. Probably not as interesting to most people... most people are probably more interested in the controversy, the "hammering it out" factor or the images in the Columbus Dispatch article. Or just the Usonian design...
The two Rush Creek Village lots are on the east end of the development.
Worthington was settled in 1803. Rush Creek Village was established in 1955. It's been decades since anything was built in Rush Creek Village, a historic Worthington neighborhood.
