Worthington, just north of Columbus, is one of the older cities in Ohio, having been founded in 1804, and still preserves a primarily federal architectural landscape.  Many of the buildings along the main road through town, High Street, and many of the surrounding homes date from the 1810s to the 1850s, including the oldest Masonic temple west of the Mississippi, built in 1820 and now housing a museum, and the Buttles Building, the oldest residence in town dating from 1811.  Worthington also boasts the only pontifical school outside of Italy, the Pontifical College Josephinum, founded in 1888.  On the outskirts of town is the Ohio Railway Museum which contains several streetcars, interurbans, and railway cars and locomotives, some of which still work.  A more recent attraction in Worthington is the neighborhood of Rush Creek Village, built primarily between 1956 and 1960, which contains homes based on the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright.
