The Cornerbook Farm: Nature - totally brought inside Home built in 1938 still very much relevant in Reynoldsburg Architectural review written and photographed by Janet Adams S ometimes you stumble upon a home that is unique in all respects: It’s beautiful in its own right, it’s relevant because of our constant yearning for seemingly forgotten beauties of the past, and it’s famous because of who created it. Cornerbrook Farm is a home that’s all of that and more - designed and built by C.W. Brook in 1938. It took two years back then to build. It is a Mission Style, 4,000 square feet home with three floors, six bathrooms, three bedrooms, four fireplaces, eighty-four windows of various different shapes and sizes, and it sits on an over nine-acre piece of land in Reynoldsburg’s far east side. It must have been quite a project in 1938 for a young architect, C.W. Brook, who was a student of the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin Fellowship program at the time. Reynoldsburg is the lucky beneficiary of this design and building. 14 Top: Living room flowing with outside influence; Middle: Three shapes of windows reflect the design element to bring in nature from all views; Bottom: The oak floors are original throughout the home.
