Columbus Regional Blood Center photograph   Save
Columbus Citizen-Journal Photograph Collection
Description: Photograph showing a historic building located at 812 East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio, from the Columbus Citizen-Journal Collection. A typed caption on the reverse reads, "New home of the Red Cross Regional Blood Center located at the corner of E. Broad and Monroe. More than 112 years old, it formerly was the Columbus Boychoir School." The Columbus Boychoir was founded in 1937 and affiliated with the nearby Broad Street Presbyterian Church. The school opened in 1940, and in 1946, moved to the property pictured here, which had previously been operated as R. E. Jones Undertakers and the Women's Exchange Center, an antique and consignment shop. After the school moved to New Jersey in 1950, this site served as the Columbus Regional Blood Center for the American Red Cross. View on Ohio Memory.
