Regarding Lawson House. Excerpt from the amended National Register nomination for the district:
Frederick W. Garber (Cincinnati,ca. 1877-1950) lived at 28 Oak Avenue and was active in the community affairs of Glendale. He was associated with Clifford B. Woodward from 1904 until the firm Garber & Woodward was dissolved in 1933, after which he practiced on his own until shortly before his death. Garber and Woodward were fellow students, partners, and brothers-in-law. Both were educated at the Cincinnati Technical School, worked as draftsmen for Elzner & Anderson in Cincinnati, and attended a two-year course in architecture at M.I.T. Garber won a Rotch Scholarship and studied abroad. Garber is said to have traveled with Bertram Goodhue while in Europe, as well as with a partner in the firm of Cass Gilbert. After the firm of Garber & Woodward was dissolved, Garber practiced with John Postler and Lawrence Lefken, 1933-38, and as Frederick W. Garber, 1939-52.
