Casparis Castle

Marble Cliff, Ohio

Date: 1908
Address: 1425-1427 Arlington
Marble Cliff Quarry owner, Sylvio Casparis, commissioned Packard to build a three-story Scottish- style castle just south of his home on the bluff. It is said that Mr. Casparis climbed the five-story tower which still stands at 1427 Arlington Avenue to see if his quarry men were working.

Editor note: One historic document attributes the design of this house to Wilbur T. Mills, a contemporary of Frank Packard, also practicing in Columbus. Others give credit to Packard.
