1530 East Long Street
McCarty House

Lot 34 Cornfield's Addition

This house was built about 1897 and probably designed by its first owner, architect Joel Edward McCarty. 

Joel Edward McCarty was born December 9, 1856 in Macomb, Illinois, son of Alexander and Mary W. Yost McCarty. He married Ella M. Richardson in Menlo, Iowa on November 3, 1887. Ella was born April 21, 1863 in Warren County, Pennsylvania, daughter of J.B. and Fannie Markle Richardson. They had a daughter, Helen Mary (October 21, 1889 - July 5, 1940)

Joel was named for his maternal grandfather. His mother, Mary was the older sister of architect Joseph Warren Yost. 

In 1880 Joel lived with his parents in Jefferson Township, Adair County, Iowa.

In 1897, Joel lived at 359 Wilson Avenue and was a draftsman for Yost and Packard, his uncle's architecture firm. By 1898 Joel had partnered with Clarence E. Richards to open their own architecture firm, Richards and McCarty. They designed the new Ohio Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at 400 East Town Street, for which ground was broken in September 1898. Joel had also moved into his new house at 1530 East Long Street.

McCarty and Richards added another Yost apprentice, George Henry Bulford to their firm in 1899, becoming Richards, McCarty and Bulford. The business continued until 1943. The firm designed a number of Columbus landmarks and at least three other homes in Woodland Park, 1570 Hawthorne Park, 1607 East Long Street and 241 Woodland Avenue. 

The McCartys lived at 1530 East Long Street at least through 1912, the year their daughter married Robert Clay Van Voorhis.

Mc Carty subdivided the land that would become Menlo Place, and in 1919, built a new home at 1545 Menlo Place. McCarty lived there until his death.

Ella died on June 3, 1935. McCarty was 95 years old when he died 13 days after being struck by an automobile at East Long Street and Parkwood Avenue on July 9, 1952. He died July 22, 1952. The McCartys are buried at Greenlawn Cemetery.

The McCartys sold this house to Beryl Agler on July 14, 1919.

Karl George Agler was born April 7, 1879 in Milford Center, Ohio, son of Orin W. Agler. He married Beryl Butler. Beryl was born December 9, 1880, daughter of James H. and Loretta E. Simons Butler. They had a daughter, Doris born in 1908.

In 1917, Agler was Manager and Salesman for The Scioto Valley Supply Company. In 1930, he was President of Dreher Supply Company, wholesale plumbing.

From 1938 until his death, Agler lived at 3130 East Main Street, where he operated Agler's House of Antiques.

Karl died on March 1, 1943 and Beryl died December 22, 1944. They are buried at Greenlawn Cemetery.

On December 11, 1937, the house was deeded to The Central Building & Loan Company.

On March 26, 1938, Walter G. and Essie D. Lochbaum bought the house.

Walter George Lochbaum was born August 17, 1894 in Pike County, Ohio, son of George N. and Elizabeth Rothmeier Lochbaum. He married Essie Delphia Blair about 1918. Essie was born about 1896 in Ohio, daughter of David and Maggie Blair. They had a daughter Mildred Louise born in 1920.

In 1930 the Lochbaums lived at 107 North 20th Street. Walter was a cabinet maker for a lumber company and Essie was a clerk in a doctor's office.

In 1942 Walter worked for Dealers Lumber Company at 1836 East Long Street. In 1957 he was a woodworker at the Teachout Sash and Door Glass Company. The Lochbaums then lived at 3000 Wicklow Road.

Walter died in London, Ohio on June 29, 1972.

On June 6, 1949, the house was transferred to Mamie L. Brown.

Mamie Lee Brown was born February 14, 1906 in Tennessee, daughter of Walter and Mable Brown. She had a daughter, Jacqueline L. (October 22, 1942).

In 1930 Mamie lived in Nashville, Tennessee and was a nurse for a private family.

In 1949, Mamie lived at 475 Eldridge Avenue. In 1956 Mamie was a clerk working for Joseph T. Kourie. Kourie ran a grocery at 641 Mt. Vernon Avenue.

The Columbus Dispatch, July 2, 1975, "Police officers testify they saw Officer Robert Morgan swing his nightstick at Samuel Bryant, 23, 1530 E Long St., in connection with a May 30 incident at the Kahiki restaurant." p. 1E

Mamie died on August 25, 1989 in Columbus.

On January 17, 1986 the house was transferred to her daughter, Jacqueline L. (Harry) Fickling.

On January 26, 1989, Linda Dones bought the house.

On August 5, 1993, Kenneth E. and Terri L. Cavice bought the house.
