Property Description

Welcome to 1275 East Long Street, a rare opportunity to own one of the most culturally and historically significant homes in Columbus's King-Lincoln District. Once the residence of Dr. Lloyd and Mrs. Anna B. Jones, this stately property was more than a home—it was a cornerstone of Black excellence, leadership, and community life in mid-20th century Columbus. Dr. Lloyd Jones, a respected physician and civic leader, and his wife Anna, a prominent socialite and club president, hosted many of the city's most notable gatherings here—including the 1943 wedding celebration of Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson and his wife, a moment chronicled in The Ohio State News. Their daughter, Cecelia Chancellor, went on to become an influential educator, serving as principal of Mt. Vernon and Beatty Elementary Schools, carrying forward the Jones family's legacy of service and achievement. Spanning over 2,800 square feet, this residence gracefully blends preserved historical charm with modern comfort. The home features four large bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, a gourmet kitchen that opens into inviting dining and living areas, and architectural details that reflect its rich past. Sun-filled interiors, original millwork, and elegant finishes offer both warmth and sophistication. Outside, a private backyard oasis invites gatherings, complemented by a three-car garage—a rare amenity in this historic neighborhood. Beyond its walls lies the heart of the King-Lincoln Bronzeville community, once known as the 'Harlem of Columbus,' where art, music, and culture continue to thrive. With a tax abatement through 2028, this home offers not only historical prominence but modern financial advantages—a perfect balance of heritage, comfort, and investment opportunity.
