Theres a great high-resolution version of the photo at left in the Clinton League collection at Ohio History Connection. You can zoom in to read the “Mimring Road” sign on the pole to the left of the road.

This home was also owned by someone of the Marzetti family according to the County auditor’s information.

My Great Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Jack Sullivan built the house. My grandmother, Olive Davidson Armbruster, moved in with them when she moved to Columbus in 1900. Her wedding to my grandfather, Emil Armbruster, was in the house on Sept. 20, 1911. I have the accounts of the wedding fron the newspapers. It was sold when Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Jack bought the house at 3100 N. High St. which they later sold to Southwicks.

Yes, as we grew up in the neighborhood we heard stories about this house, that it was involved with the underground railroad and getting the slaves out of the south. For a couple of years I delivered the evening newspaper but never saw a single person. I was amazed at the servant living quarters over the double garage, and of the two hugh Great Dane guard dogs they kept in a large wire cage out back. Originally terribly ferocious when I first saw them, we became friends within a few days…
