Cornfield's AdditionCornfield's Addition was laid out in 1875 by John Duffy, the guardian of Charles B. Cornfield and his younger sister Margaret. Their father was John Cornfield from Kildare, Ireland, a successful Columbus pawnbroker.
Duffy was a prosperous Columbus grocer, originally from Tipperary, Ireland. He retired from the grocery business in 1884 and became a real estate speculator. John had what was described as a "beautiful home" at 319 East Gay Street. Almost all the street names on the original 1875 plat map have changed or no longer exist. Reed Avenue is now Taylor Avenue, Mulberry Street is now Parkwood Avenue and Barr Street and Maplewood Alley are gone altogether, though Barr Street was later known as Eastwood Avenue. Streetcar tracks ran down the center of East Long Street and turned south at Mulberry Street (Parkwood Avenue) towards East Broad Street, which was the end of that car line. At the time this map was drawn the streetcars were horse-drawn cars, not yet the electrified versions. Columbus' streetcars were converted starting about 1890 and were all electric by 1892. The Long Street route was electrified on September 7, 1891. |
