History

The house was constructed from 1857 to 1858.[3] It was owned by George Griwold, a store owner suffering from deteriorating eyesight who moved to Columbus from New York City. The floor plan of the house was designed after the house he grew up in as a child, thought to be at least partially so he was already familiar with the layout after his sight would begin to deteriorate further. Currently, the building is used as a funeral home.[4]

gollark: (This is in fact not true. My real age is [ERROR], as I am an entity existing outside of space and time and not subject to foolish mortal concepts like "linear time".)
gollark: I'm fine with somewhat funny loading messages, but not as actual UI elements.
gollark: I'm 12 as a joke!
gollark: Haha yes we are so funny and up with the kids, innit yo?
