Last week, while researching a current project, I stumbled across this old 2014 article on the Wakefield House at Rush Creek Village, with one of my many interviews with Columbus Dispatch reporter Jim Weiker over the years. I called the house “an important building for Central Ohio” and “a landmark.” I still stand by those statements.

New owners purchased the house 6 years ago; I’m sure they’ve modernized the building. Hopefully, their work has been sympathetic to Theodore van Fossen’s original design of Martha’s idea as constructed by Richard Wakefield. If I’m ever back that way, perhaps I’ll drop in.

Is “Throwback Thursday” still even a thing?
