Ridgewood in the Country Club District: A Historic Suburb in the Best 60,000 City in America - Springfield, Ohio Hardcover – 1 April 2011

This book provides a fascinating look at the architecture and suburban lifestyles of a unique development in the landscape of early 20th century mid-America. From the historical perspective of the individuals to the detailed progression of architectural tastes and styles, this is an extremely well researched and documented volume. As a former resident of Springfield, Ohio, this book presented a fresh view of the city I grew up in, and the leaders who shaped it. And, as the son of a former Springfield architect, it offers an inside look at the buildings and homes that fascinated me as my father pointed them out to me in my youth. My thanks to Ms. Dallenbach for her passion and painstaking attention to detail in compiling this rich historical perspective. Well done!

It’s a fabulous reference book. Especially for anyone who wants to know more about the neighborhood we live in

The writing style and pictures were excellent. I am very familiar with Ridgewood but learned hundreds of things I did not know before. Looking forward to her next book! Mike OKeeffe

This is my second copy. I purchased as a gift for a housewarming gift.
