Residential Building
Basic details
Background
Residence, northwest corner of North Street and High Street.
Worthington at the turn of the century was still a farming community, but that would gradually change over the next few decades. The land west of High St. and south of North St. would become a subdivision developed by Frank Medick. It was named the Clearview Addition, on the former Gilbert and Boardman farms.
The Methodist Children's Home would purchase the Pinney farm to the north in 1912, using the existing buildings as dormitories.
By the 1920's, the northwest corner of North and High, 923 High Street, would be a garage owned by Verner Taylor. It is now the site of Sprint Lube. The home at 951 High Street was the Wilson residence, and has been replaced by an office complex..
