University District History

Images and stories of life in the University District in Columbus, Ohio from the past 150 years.

And more.

N. High Street, looking south from the old Chittenden Hotel on Spring St., 1909.

I’m always struck by how much bigger and more bustling the city seems in views like these. Nice view of the city’s arches too.

The landmark Chittenden Hotel stood on the NE corner of N. High and Spring St. downtown. It was established by Henry T. Chittenden, streetcar magnate and namesake of Chittenden Ave. here in the University District.
