Storytelling

Building Histories

In partnership with local historian, Alyssa McClanahan, we dove deep into the history of 31 buildings in the Market District to bring you these stories. Each one covers the ownership over time, the businesses and families housed, and the damages and renovations these buildings endured since their founding. Some of these buildings you’ll recognize, while others you may have walked past hundreds of times without noticing.

Thank you to our partners Ohio Humanities & America 250-Ohio for making this project possible.
