Columbus Avenue History

Nestled above Sandusky’s new City Hall, Columbus Avenue Lofts has seamlessly blended its historic aesthetic with modern charm. Occupying the upper floors of the Whitworth and Kingsbury Building, the repurposed apartments embody the vibrant commercial district below.

The History of Columbus Avenue

Anchored by the adjacent Commercial Banking & Trust Co. Building, the Whitworth and Kingsbury Building were built in 1894 and originally home to doctors, lawyers, and all other local businesses that served Downtown Sandusky for generations. A century ago, a July 27th, 1922 edition of The Sandusky Register said of the refurbished Kingsbury, “In every way, the building will be one of the finest of its kind, and it has been planned so that it will meet the demand of a much larger city than Sandusky is today, for years to come.” Today, the Whitworth and Kingsbury have come to solidify the City’s belief in itself, and their belief that the foundation of their historic downtown would remain intact, and thrive, to this day.
