The Shedd-Dunn House is a Queen Anne style residence built in 1888 in Columbus, Ohio, during the height of East Broad Street's prominence as an avenue of ornate family mansions. Originally constructed for the Shedd family, who operated an early wholesale grocery business, the house exemplifies the architectural character of its tree-lined neighborhood. The Shedd family occupied the residence until 1912, after which Eggleston Dunn of the Dunn-Taft Dry Goods Company lived there through the early 1940s. The building subsequently transitioned to commercial use, providing office space for local architects. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and part of the 18th & E. Broad Historic District, the house stands as a significant example of late nineteenth-century domestic architecture in Ohio's capital.
