Woodland Park, Columbus, Ohio

Woodland Park is a residential neighborhood located in the Near East Side of Columbus, Ohio that houses approximately 1,500 residents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Woodland-Park-Columbus-OH.html )〕 The neighborhood was previously home to such figures as artist Emerson Burkhart, cartoonist Billy Ireland, and judge William Brooks. Established in the early 20th century, Woodland Park has grown from its planned neighborhood roots into a modest neighborhood that contains various faith communities, schools, sources of entertainment and recreation, and borders an extension of the Ohio State University medical center.
==History==

Woodland Park, one of Columbus’ first planned neighborhoods, is named for Woodland Avenue and the Woodland Park Addition. Woodland Park Addition is a subdivision that can be identified as early as 1899. At the center of Woodland Park Addition is Hawthorne Park bounded by Hawthorne Park Road. Development of Woodland Park Addition was limited and located primarily along Long Street and Woodland Ave.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digital-collections.columbuslibrary.org/cdm/ref/collection/maps/id/59 )〕 An advertisement in the Columbus Dispatch on June 26, 1904 boasted the amenities offered in the neighborhood; "We give you paved streets, cement sidewalks, water, gas, sewerage, electric lights, plenty of fine forest trees and one of the best school districts in the city. Woodland Park Addition has the advantage of three electric car lines by which you can reach High Street in fifteen minutes."
One of the first homes in Woodland Park was the Connors’ House, located at 1536 Menlo Place. John Connors purchased the land in 1909 and was a salesman for railroad and industrial supplies. He later went on to work as the sales manager for Ralston Steel Car Co. in Columbus, Ohio. The house was designed by Howell and Thomas and built in 1910. Howell and Thomas was a Columbus based architecture firm that was known for building prominent homes between 1908 and 1930. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dornberghouse.blogspot.com/2012/10/1536-menlo-place-connors-house.html )〕
Throughout the 20th century, owners motivated by racism put restrictions in deeds preventing those of African descent from purchasing homes. However, these restrictions eventually became irrelevant, as wealthy African American professionals and musicians could pay the sellers overwhelming amounts of money for said homes. Wexner Heritage Village can cite its beginnings back to Woodland Park. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whv.org/Wexner_Heritage_Village/media/PDF-Files/Campaign-to-Revolutionize-Care-at-WHV.pdf )〕 In an interview conducted by the Columbus Jewish Historical Society, Annette Tanenbaum notes that the Heritage House was located on Woodland Avenue near Long Street. She adds that it was the first facility in Columbus dedicated to taking care of elderly Jewish people. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://columbusjewishhistory.org/?post_type=oral_histories&p=512 )〕 Heritage House was built in 1951. 〔 Today the Wexner Heritage Village continues to provide elderly care to people in the Jewish community. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whv.org/About-Us )〕
