Dublin's new House of Spirits riverbox, recently installed in Scioto Park, was inspired by a "haunted house," the mail and an Indonesian tradition. The artwork by Mark Soppeland, a professor at the University of Akron, was the last of three new riverboxes that have been installed; the Dublin Arts Council will release information on the locations of the new boxes on Sept. 11.

Thanks Andy and Jennifer, for a great series ... but of course, I am openly biased! DAC is hosting three interns from Taiwan for the next three weeks, and today they are touring our original Art in Public Places installations. I can't wait to hear what they have to say about the artworks!

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
