Columbus Neighborhoods: Short North Preview
The first documentary in the Columbus Neighborhoods series. Its a story of one of the city’s most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods. It’s a story of how a grassroots movement transforms a run-down, forgotten neighborhood into Columbus’ center for arts and culture.
St. John the Baptist Italian Catholic Church
Built in 1896, Saint John the Baptist Italian Catholic Church is located on Hamlet Street. It was designated as historical landmark in 2004 by the Ohio Historical Society.
Capital City Products
Located at the corner of Perry Street and 1st Avenue, Capital City Products produced a predecessor to margarine. Their product was used in foods made by big brand names that still exist today, including Pillsbury and Campbell’s soup.
Union Station Arcade
Designed by famed architect Daniel Burnham, the second Union Station elevated Columbus to a new height. The high style of the façade hid the tracks underground, allowing High Street to be less crowded and giving downtown the visual appeal it needed.
Italian Village Fire Department
The Italian Village Fire Department played a big role in the tight-knit community. It was the site of many activities, and even repaired broken toys year-round.
