King-Lincoln

About this neighborhood

Once the cultural and commercial heart of Columbus for African Americans, this neighborhood is poised for rebirth. The restoration of the King Lincoln Theatre was one of the most anticipated projects in the city. Now completed, it joins the King Arts Complex in shaping and developing this historic neighborhood. King-Lincoln still echoes with the joyous sounds of the storied musicians who played its clubs and theatres and the din of bustling streets lined with thriving businesses.
