The are a few brewery gems on the web that reflect Columbus' rather large preprohibition brewing industry.
Here's a drawing of Born & Co. I spotted their building advertisement in one of the Delaware photos that manticore provided a link to. http://www.greetingsfromdelawareohio.com/downtown-delaware-ohio

outhouses that simply deposit into the riverHot summer days with low water must have been nasty. But when you think of it, there were horses crapping all over town, too.
Speaking of which, apparently before there were derelict cars, there were derelict wagons.
I recall Mr. Lentz referring to the hot stinking mess it was then in one of his "as It Were" columns. Great source of local history: http://www.thisweeknews.com/live/content/editorial/edlentz/lentz_index.html
@ alexs - I wonder how close that was to the Capital? You can see the dome in the background. The surrounding area was not too desirable for quite some time.
The buggy repairman looks to be from China with his woven hat. The first I've seen in many Columbus photos.

Columbus was once the buggy capital of the world!

Odd. I posted my comment as a tag. I blame riding the bus and posting at the same time.
My family has a ~18x24 print of that map somewhere. It is pretty cool.

Very cool photo Walker; thanks for posting it.
There are a lot of viewable buildings on it that aren't around anymore. You can see the old North Market Quonset hut, Mellman's corner, the White Cross hospital, the whole Union Station and the buildings north of it (I believe the actual Station frontage on High is covered by the High Street label on the photo).
Hubbard elementary and Leafy Dale are also viewable and I believe another higher-rise between them that's not around anymore.
There are also many more rail lines than exist today. I know some old-timers from the St Clair/E.2nd Ave area (east Milo-Grogan) that told me when they were kids they used to routinely walk along all of those rail lines to get downtown. Now I can see how they did that. That must have been an interesting walk!
