More of the dated building in Columbus went up in the 1920s than in any other decade. Neoclassical is the style recorded most often on these buildings.

The routes

Every route holds at least ten stops and stays under two and a half miles. Routes are computed from the coordinates in the National Park Service National Register spatial data or, where it has no point, Wikidata, and the distances are straight lines between stops. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed November 02, 2026.
