Margene Burkhead with flowers photograph   Save
Columbus Citizen-Journal Photograph Collection
Description: Photograph showing a young woman identified as Margene Burkhead of Columbus, Ohio, admiring flowers in the garden of the 147-year-old home of Lucas Sullivant, the founder of Franklinton. A note on the reverse indicates that the home was part of the Convent of the Good Shepherd (located along West Broad Street) at the time the photograph was taken. Franklinton, immediately west of Columbus, was founded by Lucas Sullivant in 1797. Franklinton was eventually annexed by Columbus as the city grew larger, and is now a part of the city's West Side. View on Ohio Memory.
