Description
This old stairway leads to a corner stone building, on the grounds of Jeffrey Mansion, in Bexley, Ohio. The grounds and gardens are beautiful, but from this perspective, you would never know the beauty that lies beyond. A black and white version of this image is also available in my gallery.
Over 100 years ago, Jeffrey Mansion was built as the residence of industrialist and early Columbus, Ohio, City Mayor Robert Jeffrey. Jeffrey served as mayor from 1903-1905 and willed his home to the city of Bexley in 1941.
Is it haunted? Reports attest to the presence of cheerful, yet unexplained whistling in a second-floor hallway of the mansion, so perhaps Jeffrey visits his old home to check up on the Bexley Department of Parks and Recreation, which now calls the mansion home.
The mansion’s many Jacobethan Revival design features: brick walls with cut stone trim, multiple casement windows, and ornamented doorways. Crenellations on the tops of some walls are reminiscent of English castles. The entrance area dates from 1922, and the south wings, porte cochere, and west terrace from 1926. The elevated west terrace provides expansive views over the property. In 1941 Jeffrey donated the house to the city of Bexley to be used as a community center. Jeffrey Mansion is located within a park of nearly forty acres.
