The history of Hutchins Avenue in Columbus might surprise you. The neighborhood was called Maple Grove. Alonozo Butler built 634 Hutchins from 1890-1892 then passed away unexpectedly in 1895. His wife and later his daughter continued to live in the home, and 634 Hutchins became part of the Columbus ladies' social scene: In 1917 it was a home where meetings of the WTCU (Woman's Christian Temperance Union) were held, but by the 1920s, regular meetings of the Happy Hour Club were held there! By 1947 it was and the Maple Grove Beauty Shop. This house still has so much original character: tall ceilings, custom wood trim, hardwood floors, and big rooms. Horses aren't kept out back any more, but there is a big detached garage and a large privacy-fenced backyard. Many of the nieghboring homes have also been updated recently. Come see what downtown Columbus has to offer within easy walking distance of this home.
