Story 2: There is an article about Helen Christopher Barnett in the June 2001 issue of Village Views.
Story 3: Compare to 400 Stanton. Is this Craftsman style? Some call this Prairie Style.

Story 4: Mystery - this house is said to be a copy/modification/variation/similar to 209 Cambridge. It was built for Ray Christopher in 1912/13. The house looks like the Sears house The Hollywood and has interior features of that Sears house but has the architect listed as E. J. Schulte.  Model dates for The Hollywood are 1916-24.

Cindy Cattanzaro, Sears researcher, says it's a common design of the period, but not a Sears model.

A life-long member of St. Thomas and Terrace Park, Helen's family roots in our community reach four generations! Described as 'powerful but quiet,' Helen devoted herself to the community she loved. In her 96 years, Helen not only was active at St. Thomas, she was a charter member of the Terrace Park Historical Society and was an active supporter of the arts throughout Cincinnati. In her parish, Helen was active in all aspects of parish life, serving on Vestry, Sunday School, the Healing Ministry and as a member of the founding Board of the St. Thomas Housing Corporation, helping to make the dream or Thomaston Woods a reality. Her love of learning and her faith led her to complete Education for Ministry, a four-year lay theological program through Sewanee.
