ARLINGTON THEN AND NOW One warm August day in l9I4, laborers and teams ot horses hired by the Upper Arlington Real Estate Company began to put through a new street north from Fitth Avenue leading into rolling and recently harvested tields. That tirst street, then known as North Central Avenue, is now Roxbury Road: those tields were tormerly the Miller tarm: that day's work was the tirst manual labor in the development ot Upper Arlington. Behind that tirst day's work lay weeks, months, years ot thought and planning. ln the mind ot King G. Thompson the idea ot a highly restricted residential section was first conceived. Atter a real estate company had been tormed with him as president, his brother Ben as vice president, and Don C. l-luddleson as secretary-treasurer, his idea bore truit when the company puchased a tract ot 880 acres ot the Miller tarm. They had tound this place to be the most suitable, the most convenient and the most beautitul district in the outlying regions surrounding Columbus. One ot the toremost landscape architects in the country, William Pitkin, Jr. ot Rochester, New York, atter making a complete topographical study ot the 'original tract, drew up plans tor the Country Club district. The improvement company adopted these with tew changes. Since that tirst day's work an ideal has been realized-Upper Arlington as we know it today, with its beautitul winding streets and tine homes. The tirst streets laid out, besides Roxbury Road, were Arlington Avenue, Bedtord Road, Cambridge Boulevard, and Upper Chelsea Road. Frank J. Bornhauser built the tirst house in Upper Arlington on Bedtord Road near Cambridge Boulevard. l-lowever, Mr. Bornhauser was not the tirst to move into the village, as the Warren Armstrongs, until their home was completed, lived in the Gun Club, which used to stand at Arlington and Fitth Avenues. The begin- ning ot I9l6 tound eight new homes in Arlington-Bornhauser's, Warren Armstrong's, E. E. Nace's, l-larvey Miller's, J. Morgan's, l-lenry Miller's, and Ben and King Thompson's. The tine old homesteads ot James T. Miller and Edward l-loward stand today as land- marks ot the village. Upper Arlington is situated on the acres once owned by James Miller, whose seven children are now citizens ot the village-l-lenry, the oldest, whom everyone knows as owner ot the Sinclair Filling Station: l-lughg lda lMrs. Edward l-lowardl: Grace lMrs. John N. Brittainlg and the Misses Jessie, Alice and l.ollie. When Upper Arlington was incorporated as a village in May, I9l8, it was James T. Miller who was elected the tirst mayor, along with a council composed ot William Kern, Frank Rodgers, J. E. l-larris, Paul Spence, J. J. Morgan, and E. J. Crane, with Edward l-loward as clerk, and Warren Armstrong as treasurer. ln l9l9 the present commission torm ot government was adopted, and Cyrus Woodbury was voted mayor. l-le was tol- lowed by William Grieves, E. J. Crane, John Kelly, A. W. Geissinger, David S. Benbow, l-larry G. Beale, and the present mayor, Anthony Geissinger, who was re-electd in IQ36. The land ottice building, situated at the juncture ot Arlington Avenue, Stantord Road, and Tremont Road, was built in I92O, and served as the tirst village headquarters until the Municipal Building was erected in I93O. ln I927, Arlington saw its tirst police torce-Mr. J. M. Baugh, athletic coach ot the school, tor a year temporarily served as The Law during the summer, but there was no police torce during that school year. Frank Carey became Marshal in l928, and soon atter his brother, Wade, joined him on the torce. We are told that Wade's arrival was heralded by headlines in the Community News lnow The Tri-Village News l- Arling- ton Police Force Doubles! This very important organization ot our community has developed into a statt ot tour otticers and two cruisers. lt is, ot course, located in the Municipal Building, along with the tire department, which was organized in I93O. fC01lfTllllEd on page 365 Page Eight
