The East Town Street Historic District is a historic district in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and the Columbus Register of Historic Properties in 1982; the district boundaries differ between the two entries.[1][2]

The Snowden-Gray House, a High Victorian-style two-and-a-half-story mansion with a cupola, built in 1852, is salient in the district. It was the Kappa Kappa Gamma National Headquarters from 1952 to 2018.[3] It housed the Heritage Museum, displaying the history of the organization. The building now serves as an event space.[4]

The Kelton House Museum and Garden is a historic house museum in the district.
