This black-and-white photograph shows the home at 525 Meadoway Park in the Colonial Hills neighborhood. The photographer, A.V. Shirk, wrote:
"525 Meadoway Park is where we lived from 1947, when we moved from Hilliards (with an 's' then) to Colonial Hills. It was the first house my parents [Albin (Al) B. and Maxine Gail Shirk] owned... The awnings that can be seen in the windows were what we used, in those pre-air conditioning days, to shade the windows from the sun and to allow the windows to be opened for ventilation in the rain. The house had a coal-fired furnace. In the winter, you would fire up the furnace before you went to bed; and I remember getting up on cold mornings and going down to start a new fire. The warm air would flow gently up through the ducts to the rooms and it was the most even and comfortable heat I have ever known."
Shirk grew up in Colonial Hills and graduated from Worthington High School in 1956.
