This cottage has been expanded at the rear section, but retains its historic integrity. It’s one of my favorite houses in Columbus, though I have been unable to locate any history beyond an approximate date of construction. The ornamentation is a stylistic addition, likely done 20-40 years after the house was built.

That “stylistic addition” is definitely an imnprovement to the overall beauty of the house! Kudos to whoever had the vision and the funds to make it so.
