Property Description
Step into a piece of history with this unique residence, originally built in 1900 by Alfonso Lang as his personal home. Unlike the typical orange brick seen throughout German Village, this home features distinctive bricks imported from Germany, a testament to Lang's craftsmanship and individuality.
Just steps away, Lang's historic stone yard is commemorated with a plaque, adding to the rich heritage of the location. The charming front porch is a patchwork of 'leftovers' from neighborhood projects, showcasing a creative blend of materials and history.
Inside, original milk glass windows grace the dining room and staircase, preserving the home's authentic character. Lovingly restored by the current owner in 1968 and maintained as a rental property since 1979, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved piece of Columbus history.
