South Wind Motel
The South Wind Motel is a boutique motel in the Brewery District of Columbus, Ohio. The motel has a mid-century modern theme, replicating elements from around 1959, when the motel first opened. The building was designed by local architect Harold Schofield with inspiration from the Prairie School of architecture, and is one of few remaining commercial buildings in Columbus of its kind. 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. After a period of vacancy, a local developer purchased the hotel in 2021. 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.
