The Book Loft

A 32-room independent bookstore in a German Village pre-Civil War building.

Address
631 S Third St, Columbus, OH 43206
Franklin County parcel
010-011002

The Book Loft at 631 S Third Street is one of the country’s largest independent bookstores — 32 rooms of books threading through a pre–Civil War building in German Village, each room with its own soundtrack. It is a case study in the neighborhood’s bargain: strict historic-district review preserved the brick-and-brownstone fabric that now draws the foot traffic.

It occupies Franklin County parcel 010-011002 in German Village. Open the record for its zoning and civic details.
