In 2020, the Columbus Historical Society aims to raise funds to purchase Engine House No.

The historical society building has gallery spaces, and holds numerous local history and art exhibits each year.

The society considers the neighborhood an appropriate place, given that it was the first non-native settlement in Central Ohio, and is located around numerous historic and cultural sites.

Originally planned to be occupied by CHS and Heritage Ohio, the historical society began an attempt to purchase the building on its own in July 2020.
