Description	The home of Warren A. Armstrong at 1761 Roxbury Road was the fifth home to begin construction in Upper Arlington. However, Armstrong family members are considered to be the first residents of Upper Arlington, other than the Millers and the Howards, because they lived in the second floor of the Gun Club on Fifth Avenue at Arlington Avenue while their home was being built. Construction of their home was completed in 1915. Mr. Armstrong was a member of the sales force of the Upper Arlington Company, and he was also active in the early government of Upper Arlington. Warren A. Armstrong was elected as the treasurer of the first Village Commission, served on the Board of Appraisers, and was a Deputy Marshall in 1918. His son, Warren C. Armstrong, served as the mayor of Upper Arlington from 1958 through 1964. Mrs. Armstrong's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Carmack, lived across the street at 1740 Roxbury Road, the fourth house to be completed in Upper Arlington.
