German Village is a historic neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, just south of the city's downtown. It was settled in the early-to-mid-19th century by a large number of German immigrants, who at one time comprised as much as a third of the city's entire population. It became a city historic district in 1960 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, becoming the list's largest privately funded preservation district, and in 2007, was made a Preserve America Community by the federal government. In 1980, its boundaries increased, and today it is one of the world's premier historic restorations.

Today, the hotel is independently operated, and has 19 rooms and 3 suites. The hotel was completed in 1959, operating for decades in prosperity. Beginning in the late 20th century, the South Wind Motel began to take on a different clientele, and offered rooms by the hour. The site became known for drug dealing and crime.

Following an extensive renovation, it reopened in July 2022 as a boutique-style motel, with mid-century modern-styled decor, solar panels, electric vehicle charging, and other unique features.

Recreation Park is the name of two different former baseball grounds located in Columbus, Ohio, USA. Recreation Park I was located on the south side of Mound Street and the east side of Parsons Avenue. This was the home field for the Columbus Buckeyes of the American Association for the 1883 and 1884 seasons. The site is currently occupied by ramps for Interstate Highway 70. Recreation Park II was located in the Schumacher Place neighborhood, and was bound by Schiller (now East Whittier) Street to the south (third base); Jaeger Street to the west (other sources say 5th Street, which is one block farther west); Ebner Street to the east (first base); and East Kossuth Street to the north (right field). This was the home field for the Columbus Solons of the American Association from 1889 through 1891. The bulk of the site is now occupied by a Giant Eagle and is bisected by South Grant Avenue. The remaining parts of the original large block are residences. On November 1, 1890 the Ohio State University football team played their first home game at Recreation Park (II). A historical marker was put up at the former site of the field on October 20, 2006 to commemorate the first Ohio State home game, a 64–0 loss to Wooster.

Hausfrau Haven is a wine shop in the German Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The store makes up the ground floor of 769 South Third Street, a contributing property to the German Village historic district, listed by the city and on the National Register of Historic Places.The building's earliest history is unknown. The oldest photograph dates to c. 1890, showing a "sample room", saloon, and a grocery or hardware store in the building. The second floor appears to have always been used for apartments. In the 1950s, a portion of the building held a grocery store operated by Adam Sauer. After a few years, Tony Shumick moved his own grocery into the building. In the mid-1970s, partners Fred Holdridge and Howard Burns established Hausfrau Haven, then a small market. The two stocked any items two or more customers would ask for; wine and The New York Times were especially popular. The store operated every day except January 1, when community members and customers would help them take inventory. The store was also noted for its witty signs, including those reading "Unattended children will be sold!" and "We will not be taken over by The Limited!".Over several decades, Fred became occupied with more civic roles, especially with the German Village Society. Howard and his mother predominantly operated the store counter at this time. Howard died in 2001; Fred sold the store five years later, in an agreement that he could live above it until his death (he passed in 2010). In the present day, the store's owners continue to run the shop in a similar manner to Fred and Howard. In 2014 the German Village Society dedicated a plaque commemorating the achievements of Fred and Howard; the plaque is attached to the southeast corner of the building.

The Charles S. Barrett Building is a historic building in the Merion Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties in 2006 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The building was completed in 1900 as the home of the city's South High School, part of the Columbus Public School District. It has since been converted into apartments, rented out as The Barrett. The four-story Italianate school building was designed by David Riebel, as his second school building commission in the neighborhood, after Southwood Elementary School. The South High School building was modeled after the now-demolished East High School at 1390 Franklin Avenue, designed by Riebel about a year earlier. It was redeveloped into apartments in the mid-2010s. A nonprofit housing agency worked with a local developer to build housing around the school building, with a total of 108 apartments and 22 single-family homes. The school building itself was converted into 52 apartments, and its 1960s addition was demolished.
