🏨 Lost History Of Columbus: The Christopher Inn

The Art of Aminah Robinson's House and Journals

Sponsored by Columbus Museum of Art and their exhibit Raggin’ On: The Art of Aminah Robinson’s House and Journals, the first major exhibition of the artist’s work since her death and a celebration of Robinson’s work, vision and the home, and the Poindexter Village neighborhood she cherished. There's so much amazing art in this exhibit that it's difficult to sum up - go here for more info and take a visit. 🎨🎨

Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

There are so many interesting pieces of architecture that are missing from the Columbus skyline due to demolition. Today, we're taking a look back at the Christopher Inn, one of the most iconic mid-century hotels in Columbus that didn't make it out of the 1980s. I can't help but imagine how cool this place would be if it still existed!
