Poindexter Village was a historic public housing complex in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.

[2] The project was named for James Preston Poindexter, an abolitionist and Baptist minister who lived and practiced in the city.

In later decades, drugs and crime affected the area, and vacancies grew, leading locals to call for Poindexter Village's demolition.

[2] Around 2013, the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority demolished 33 of Poindexter Village's buildings, hoping to redevelop the site.

Later that year, the Ohio History Connection voted to designate the property's two remaining buildings as a state historic site.

[4] In 2017, the Ohio History Connection purchased these two remaining buildings, and the city gave $1 million toward their restoration and development into the Poindexter Village Museum and Cultural Center.
