This is a bit different. A showcase house for a corner lot, owned and decorated by F&R Lazarus Company of Columbus, designed by architect Leon Seligson and builders Rober Weiler and Ben Luric. The house located at 2843 E. Broad Street in Columbus was first opened for public on Sunday, March 25 1951.
Exterior combines local stone and redwood with wood shingles. To keep house from looking too low the gable ends follow pitch of the roof. Stone planters decorate the corners and the entrance, extending in the house.
To make the transition from outdoors to indoors as slight as possible, bot exterior materials and color scheme have been carried inside. The slate used for the entrance proch continues into the front hall and its also carreid from the porch and terrace into the living room as a fireplace heart. Stone at the entrance reappears in the fireplace wall, on the porch and chimney.
Bedroom near the front door has its own bath, is well placed as a guestroom or office-den. Light tree provides strong black accent, gives bot decorative and practical light.
Natural wood is used not on this entire storage wall but only as an accent, with high storage space painted same as the wall color. Note that the dresser is partially recessed.
The 650 sq. ft. basement is cleverly arranged. Heating area and laundry are separated by a generous recreation/family room.
Corrugated metal screen sets off laundry space, but lets air circulate above and below screen. Curved sofa breaks up long basement room, repeats shape of screen.
