    About this ebook

    Explore the rich history and mysteries of this Preserve America Community through the eyes of the people who live there!


    German Village's iconic homes, bustling businesses and other beloved sites harbor fascinating stories.

    Did you know that German Village's Recreation Park, now gone, is thought to have had the first baseball concession stand? Or that the four-story Schwartz Castle was the site of two murders? Or that the popular restaurant Engine House No. 5 closed its doors after the mysterious disappearance of its owners in the Bermuda Triangle?

    Longtime resident and tour guide John M. Clark goes behind the bricks of more than seventy German Village properties to explore the places and people who made the Old South End into a Columbus treasure.
