Walhalla Home


When we were younger, we use to move or help others move often. Someone we knew was always moving - so it seemed. This past Sunday we helped some friends move from Groveport, Ohio into a suburb in close vicinity to Columbus. It's a suburb called Clintonville. Clintonville was named after George Clinton, Vice President of the United States in the early 19th century.

Their new home is on Walhalla - which is equivalent to a "heaven" in Norse mythology.

The house was designed and built some time ago, when building a home required artisan/craftsmen.

The setting is in a densely populated area of Columbus, but because the natural landscape was not destroyed during the development, the steep wooded hills remain in tact and are home to wildlife including a pair of red tail hawks. The area is so wooded that one could easily forget that crazy civilization is just a few hundred feet away.

Here's a photo of my friends on move-in day standing in front of their new, yet timeless home.
