Moment in Time (January 12, 2023)

An architectural design competition sponsored by the Columbus chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Columbus Real Estate Board asked architects across the U.S. to submit designs for a house that cost under $6000 for lots very much like those in the developing areas of Grandview and Upper Arlington. The winning two-story design, shown here, is from architect Fred Wells of Toledo, and was estimated at $5956 to build.
