Krumm.","why_significant":"The nomination cites its association with Alexander W. Krumm, Columbus City Solicitor from 1878 to 1883, who founded a long-lived law firm. It is also one of few surviving late 19th-century residences along the once prominent South High Street corridor. Italianate detailing and German influence add architectural interest.","narrative":"Built around 1885 at 975-979 South High Street in Columbus, this two-and-a-half-story brick house shows Italianate character. It rests on a coursed stone foundation and carries a hip roof of original imbricated slate above an entablature with scroll brackets and dentils. Carved stone lintels, four ornamental chimneys and a cast iron fence add detail. Alexander W. Krumm, a Columbus native and attorney who served two terms as City Solicitor from 1878 to 1883, was the original owner, and his family stayed until 1954. He later built a successful law firm that still exists. The house was converted into double units in 1918, though interior shutters, ceiling medallions, mantels and original stenciling survive. It is also one of few late 19th-century residences left along South High Street, a corridor heavily altered by strip development. The property was vacant when documented and was slated for rehabilitation.","period_of_significance":"c. 1885","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["B"],"status_note":"Listed as vacant with work in progress; rehabilitation was proposed, including removal of later additions.
