What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Schumacher Place sits immediately south of German Village and was historically a working-class extension of the same German immigrant settlement, with smaller cottages on tighter lots.

Although outside the formal German Village Commission boundary, BZS frequently requires sympathetic massing and material choices because of the visual transition into the protected district.

Most stock here was originally without basements, so basement excavations under existing footprints are unusually common scope and require careful underpinning sequencing.

Columbus ADUs — detached, attached, and conversion paths — scoped against Columbus BZS + Ohio OBC 4101 + 2018 IBC setback + height + parking variances. In Schumacher Place specifically, german vernacular brick + frame cottage (1880-1910) stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Columbus scoping flow factors schumacher place civic association design guidance and columbus city code title 33 into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
