Take A Peek Inside The Lazarus Family Mansion In Downtown Columbus🏡

Sponsored by Columbus Museum of Art which has now re-opened! Health and safety are top priorities during reopening, and for more on what Columbus Museum of Art is doing and to plan your visit, click right here. 🖼🎨

Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I absolutely love historic homes and a mansion belonging to one of Columbus' most iconic families has just hit the market. The Lazarus family, of Lazarus Department Store fame, lived at this Discovery District mansion and the home has been beautifully renovated. So much of the original character and charm remain throughout the property, which has been converted into three spacious apartments.

Congratulations to artists Ryan Sarfati and Eric Skotnes and their mural "The Journey" which has been selected as one of the top 100 commissioned art projects in the world by CODAworx. You can

view the mural right here

and you can view all the selections (which is maybe more interesting to do than you might think) at the link below. The mural was also eligible for a People's Choice Award which will be announced at the end of August, so more accolades could be on the way. This is a very, very cool mural to visit in person since there is an augmented reality component that you can see in-action at the link above.
