Sometimes called “The Circles,” Dennison Place is known
for the unique circular islands at some of its intersections. They were
platted in 1888 by Ann Dennison, in keeping with the 19th century “romantic
planning” philosophy that was
popular at the time.
A community of 400 homes, five churches, restaurants, an elementary school and a variety of retail shops, Dennison Place is nestled between Victorian Village to the south, The Ohio State University to the north, Battelle Memorial Institute and the Olentangy River to the west, and High Street’s Short North to the east. Many OSU and faculty members live here and walk to work.
On the National Register of Historic Places, over 90% of the homes
have been renovated over the past 30 years – many have been featured
on the Victorian Village Tour of Homes. Getting around town on public
transit is easy with four COTA bus lines and the nearby proposed light-rail
station. New to the neighborhood is the Memorial Park...designed to
commemorate the pioneers of the community’s rejuvenation.
