Photograph of Home at 544 White Oak Place
Basic details
Background
This undated color photograph shows the home at 544 White Oak Place.
The original owners of the home were Edna and Samuel Shingledecker. The home is part of the Rush Creek Village neighborhood in Worthington, which is based on the organic architecture principles of Frank Lloyd Wright. The builders of the neighborhood were Martha and Richard Wakefield, and the designer was Theodore (Ted) van Fossen. Homes were designed in accordance with nature and the surrounding homes in the neighborhood as a whole, in a way that protects the privacy and vistas of all residents. In its description of Rush Creek Village, the Worthington Historical Society website notes, "No other organically designed community of this size and architectural consistency exists."
