This was the 1887-1974 courthouse, there actually were a few that were earlier! Including the first permanent courthouse in Columbus, the Franklin County Courthouse (1840–1884).

Another gray box? Looks done in Microsoft Paint. And please don't tear down 161 Cleveland, it's a wonderful Queen Anne-style house with a prominent history.

Thanks, yep, please share! Glad you like it ❤️

Please take a moment to sign and share my new petition to save the old Farm Crest Bakeries building in Driving Park. This Streamline Moderne building is so cool and could last so much longer, and it's just begging for a cool project to take it on and bring it new life. It's the last significant Streamline building left in Columbus, and it'd be heartbreaking for it to go. Link here: change.org/FarmCrestBakery

The Peninsula's $290M second phase will bring grocery, more apartments, office and hotel The Peninsula's $290 million second phase will start construction next year, bringing additional office space, apartments, a hotel and a grocery store to the southwestern edge of downtown Columbus.

The second phase will include a grocery store; 150,000 square feet of new office space; a 20-plus-story apartment tower and another residential building; a 120-key hotel; a 40,000-square-foot Pins Mechanical Co. and a 400-space city-owned parking garage.

Here's some forgotten Columbus skyscraper history you all might find interesting: the Temple of Good Will. Temple dedicated to Protestantism. 650 feet tall, plus a 100-foot spire, plan fell apart after over a decade of talks, property sales, new parking lots and a garage, ruining the Chittenden Hotel, and removing part of Civic Center Drive. Here's some stories about it (requires CML card): August 1, 1980, May 4, 1954, May 27, 1951, December 5, 1948.

Fifteen story building proposed for this site, plans by NBBJ. I am writing about the existing buildings' history, which is actually very substantial. This would be a huge shame if it took place without keeping or integrating the existing structures. Photos of their rough proposal: https://imgur.com/a/yrP3Ibr

Hi all, figured I'd sign up finally. I'm M, User:Ɱ on Wikipedia. I've been writing hundreds of articles on Columbus culture and history, and took a lot of my own photographs for articles, but am not too mobile these days. If anyone's willing to contribute their own photos that would be amazing! It would just need to accompany a sentence saying they're under the Creative Commons Attribution license (allowing people to share and reuse). I really want help showing off the culture, history, and yes, even good architecture of Columbus as best I can.
