Walking Tour of the Historic District
A self-guided “Walking Tour” brochure for the Upper Arlington Historic District is available from the Miller Park Library, located at 1901 Arlington Avenue. The tour provides information on the architectural details and history of 88 homes located within the Historic District.
Homes featured on the tour include:
1860 Cambridge Blvd.
Built: 1916-1917
Style: Georgian Revival
This house is of brick construction with a hipped roof of slate and chimneys at either end, which is very typical of Georgian Revival. There are four bays on the front of the house with a belted wall treatment. It has a small window in the roofline referred to as an “eyebrow” window. Windows in the main part of the house are various shapes and sizes. There is one arched window at the stair landing on the façade. The house is symmetrical in shape.
1861 Cambridge Blvd.
Built: 1916-1917
Style: English Country Revival
This lovely stone house has many beautiful features. There is a turret on the front of the house. The chimneys have chimney pots. There are cut stone lintels over three windows and many other interesting windows. The front entry has a large three-part entablature with a cornice, frieze and architrave supported by two decorative brackets. The front gate is between two, freestanding stone walls.
1922 Arlington Avenue
Built: 1920
Style: American Colonial Revival
This house is symmetrically shaped with a slate gabled roof and interior chimneys. On the center of the front façade is a three-sided bay with a hip roof intersecting the main roofline and an entry porch with pillars and a simple cornice. A one story five-sided room to the south is similar to its neighbor’s directly across Arlington Avenue. A five-sided room on the north side of the house has been sensitively added to match the original on the south side.
