Wilber G. "Barney" Barnhart (shown in a 1920 photo) organized the W.G. Barnhart Company of which he was president and general manager. One was his first projects was construction of the Masonic Temple on the northwest corner of First and Grandview Avenues. However his greatest impact was development of the Aladdin Country Club Addition.

This photograph is from a 1929 copy of "Soundings" a publication of the Columbus Junior League. It shows the racetrack at the Arlington Country Club from around 1900. The country club was a large complex consisting of a club house, dance hall, stables, and a racetrack. It was the first country club in central Ohio and was located south of Third Avenue and west of present-day Arlington Avenue, which did not extend south of Third until 1923.

Continuing with a long-standing tradition, a Grandview Heights student finishes his painting on the window of a Grandview Avenue business while bystanders marvel at his handiwork in this 1948 photo from the Karlovec collection.

This 1909 photograph shows ten-year-old Francis Paddock (right), his sister Elizabeth, age 3 (center), and their dog Fritz sitting pensively on the back porch of their new home at 1085 Westwood Avenue. They had just moved from their home in Fort Collins, Colorado because their father, Wendell Paddock, had accepted a position as a Professor of Horticulture at OSU.

This photo, circa 1922, was taken from a card labeled "Merry Christmas Dude, from the Lindenbergs". Dude, shown sitting in front holding the stuffed toy, was Dude (Frank) Higgs, who lived on Lincoln Road. The Lindenbergs were from a prominent Marble Cliff family that lived in what was known as the Country Club Subdivision, now Tarpy Woods.
