Near East Side leaders and residents are pushing to preserve a historic house on property where Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center plans to build anThe Henderson House, which sits on a hill at 1544 Atcheson St., was once owned by former President and Ohio Gov. Rutherford B. Hayes.
Malcolm Cochran, a former Ohio State art professor and Columbus Landmarks member for 30 years, said the Henderson House needs to be part of the rehab center's site plan.According to the Franklin County auditor's office, the two-story, 2,735-square-foot house was built in 1920. The medical center has applied to the city for zoning changes and has filed a site plan. A committee of the Near East Area Commission will take that up on Feb. 16.
During Monday's meeting, some residents said they weren't happy that PACT, an organization that is supposed to be involved in revitalizing the area, didn't maintain the house after it bought it.
