Two People at Construction Site of 500 Evergreen Circle

This black and white photo shows two unidentified people posed at the construction site of the home at 500 Evergreen Circle. The foundation for the home had been laid, and some wood framing added. One person sits on the foundation wall and smiles at the photographer; the other person is standing inside the home in the background, and appears to be taking a photo themselves. Stamped on the front of the photo is "NOV 65."

The original owners of the home were Darrel and Virginia McDougle. The home is part of the Rush Creek Village neighborhood in Worthington, which is based on the organic architecture principles of Frank Lloyd Wright. The builders of the neighborhood were Martha and Richard Wakefield, and the designer was Theodore (Ted) van Fossen. Homes were designed in accordance with nature and the surrounding homes in the neighborhood as a whole, in a way that protects the privacy and vistas of all residents. In its description of Rush Creek Village, the Worthington Historical Society website notes, "No other organically designed community of this size and architectural consistency exists."
