The Famous Circus House Is Headed To Auction 🏡🎠

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

I don't know about you all, but I couldn't be happier that the weekend is finally here. I'm ready to be out in some glorious nature, but before I say goodbye to the city, I do want to mention something sort of wild. The Circus House is arguably the most iconic house in Columbus and it is going to auction. This property has so much historic value and I truly hope that whoever bids on this beauty understands it's significance. Over the years, we've lost quite a few landmarks here in Columbus and I truly hope this home gets a happy ending.
