The chapter on Washington Township in History of Franklin County [Ohio]:, published 1858 names Dublin. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
This township was set off and organized by its present name in 1809.. It then comprised all of what is now Washington, all of Perry and Norwich, and part of Brown; and was composed of parts of the original townships of Franklin, Darby and Liberty. The fii'st settlement in this township was commenced in the neighborhood of where Dublin now stands, about the year 1801 or 1802. Amongst the first settlers were old Mr. Ludwick Sells, from Huntington County, Pennsylvania, and his family of sons, Samuel, Peter, Benjamin and William ; the latter one of whom is still living, in the town of Dublin. An older brother, John Sells, also removed into the same neighborhood in 1808 or 1809. In 1818, he laid out the town of Dublin, which soon became a pleasant and healthy village, and of late years a place of considerable business, with a population of some three or four hundred ; a fair proportion of stores, taverns, and mechanics, and a good mill in the immedi- ate vicinity. There are four churches in the town - Methodist, Presbyterian, Newlight and Christian - all have their church buildings. Beside the churches in town, there is a respectable German Lutheran Church within a mile or two of the village, erected within the last year. In the west part of the township the religious meetings are principally held in the school houses.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 4,147 specimens
collected within 10 miles of McDowell, Austin, House between 1804 and
1975: 4,016 Animalia, 63 Plantae, 46 Fungi, 19 Chromista, 3 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. E. Staebler, A. J. P., A. J. Penniman and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

Dublin, the town this property stands in, in 47 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 26 thunderstorm wind, 16 hail, 2 flash flood, 1 tornado.
The reports record 1 injury. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A large swath of trees were downed across the northern Columbus suburbs, with major damage to several homes and buildings from falling trees. More trees were downed on the southeast side of Columbus.

From the nomination file
618 words on record
When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is reproduced in full on its own page, word for word and never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
