Folk Victorian Cottage, 1890s, Columbus

A late 19th-century Folk Victorian-style house featuring a central entrance with transom and sidelights, triple-hung sash windows, and a decorative cornice. The house has a large front porch with turned posts, spindlework, and an integral design, surrounded by trees and a manicured lawn.

By the late 19th century, the idyllic large estates of Wynnton were being subdivided into neighborhoods. One of particular note was known as Little’s Survey, for Judge William Little. This fine Folk Victorian cottage, representative of the Little’s Survey subdivision, was built in the 1890s on what had been part of the Woolfolk property, likely by Columbus builder(s) Rufus Jones and/or M. J. C. Pollard.
