These particular set of images are from a folder of the Short North here in my hand.

I actually have the.

At 1209 High Street, this is the Presto Lounge.

What I remember from the Short North in the 90s was sort of a grimier lot of bars, lot of head shops and things that you would think college kids would be into or local townspeople would be into.

So I always think about someone like my grandfather drinking at a place like Wick's Lounge or the Sandbar.

So I just love the pictures, all.

Of the brickwork, the buildings that just aren't here anymore, or the buildings that are here but have been redeveloped here.

We have the burlesque building here.

That was the Garden.

Garden is still around, but it was the burlesque building at the time.

We also have another picture of the Short North Tavern.

660 and 662 North High street.

Great photograph of that.

I love the residential in the Short North.

So this is a section in the.

Short north that I don't believe is residential anymore.

So it was townhomes that were very close together at that time.

There was a lot of, lot more residential on North High Street.

The Press Grill, which obviously is a very popular restaurant and bar that a.

Lot of people still know about today.

And lastly, the Yukon Building, which I.

Think is just a great building.

Here's a great shot of it at the corner here.

It seems like a lot of this was going through changes at the time.

I see a lot of construction of the sidewalks going on.

So it seems like they're building the infrastructure before they're starting to make changes.

To the actual streetscape of the buildings.

Not very often that we have an entire collection of the whole street just going down the street and them taking photographs.

And I believe these were taken by.

David Lucas, the Columbus City photographer at the time.

Anytime they were doing redevelopment, he would.

Go down the streets and take photographs of different buildings.

So this is just one box of many that we just go down the street and they just took photographs of.

And now we have all of the.

Negatives and the prints.

So it's just a great collection.
