COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A 2-bed, 1.5-bath Franklinton townhome may soon trade its bedrooms and bathtubs for the chatter and bustle of bar patrons.
A homeowner and member of the East Franklinton Review Board received approval from his fellow board members in late May to transform the single-family residence at 500 W. Walnut St. into a neighborhood tavern. It’s an opportunity to create community space while maintaining some historic character of the rapidly-developing area of Columbus, Jim Sweeney, the former longtime executive director of the Franklinton Development Association, said.
