This house is referred to in several historical references as the Inn at Arlington, or Arlington Inn. It was located in Marble Cliff and is speculated to have been razed for the construction of the Samuel Bush residence, which became St. Raphael's Home for the Aged (editing note: now Prescott Place) on Roxbury near Cardigan. References indicate that it was the meeting place for the Arlington Riding and Golf Club before the establishment of their Arlington (Aladdin) Country Club. One rumor has it that the building was originally moved to its Marble Cliff location and reassembled after being built for an exposition. As mentioned on the Historical Society web site, the Lindenberg family bible cited that Charles Lindenberg (owner of the old Governor's Mansion and owner of the Columbus Brass Company and the Columbus Piano Company) rented the Inn during the summer of 1903.
