Como Church

Use Policy

The Gothic-style Como Church, located at 29 E. Como Avenue, is also visible from High street at East Lakeview. Built in 1910 and noted for its pointed windows and square bell tower, Como Church became the home of the area’s Methodist congregation when Clinton Chapel became a private residence.
The oldest home in Clintonville stands on the far west end of Como Avenue. The home belonged to Howard Westervelt who founded the Como Methodist Church at this location. Westervelt was the great grandson of Clinton Chapel Founder Thomas Bull. In 1924, the congregation moved to the North Broadway Methodist Church now located at Columbus Art Walk Site #430. Travelling on foot down High Street is an excuse to see the often overlooked charms of Columbus architecture—the modest two and three story commercial buildings with retail at street level and small apartments above—but it is the variety of brick patterns that make the buildings so special. Bricks range in color and stone trim work is individual; very few details are repeated
