Look closely: the High Victorian Snowden-Gray House with its cupola has anchored this Ohio street since 1852. This stretch of town was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and later on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties in 1982; the district’s boundaries differ between those two listings. Directly in view is the Snowden-Gray House, a High Victorian–style, two-and-a-half-story mansion with a cupola, built in 1852.
For more than half a century it served as the Kappa Kappa Gamma National Headquarters from 1952 to 2018, and it once housed the Heritage Museum displaying the history of that organization; today the Snowden-Gray House serves as an event space. Nearby you’ll find the Kelton House Museum and Garden, a historic house museum that is part of this district. As you stand here, those dates are written into the street’s story: 1852, 1952 to 2018, 1976, and 1982.
Notice the row of historic houses along the 300 block, and picture the Kelton House Museum just beyond, part of this same district.
