  White Arches

122 7th Avenue South

Affectionately called "Columbus Eclectic", the combined architectural elements of Greek Revival, Gothic and Italianate come together to form a most welcoming style. Beautiful woodwork, mirrored glass doorknobs, a three story cupola and even original bedroom closets add to its allure.

  Whitehall

607 3rd Street South

Built in 1843 by James Walton Harris, Whitehall was originally designed as a two-story Greek Revival town house. This stately mansion exhibits six paneled square columns at the edge of a wooden porch. The banisters bordering the porch consist of identically-milled hardwood ballusters. Inside, the heart-pine floors and handsome woodwork provide the background for the Boggess' collection of 18th and 19th century antiques.
