Central Ohio features some of the most formidable reminders of historic Native American Earthworks and burial mounds. Downtown Columbus was platted and cultivated around a series of large burial mounds dating back as far as 500 B.C. A few smaller samplings remain intact or integrated into landscape terracing. The majority were leveled or demolished amongst the expansive design of the city during the late 19th century and early 20th centuries.
As frontier Columbus evolved throughout the 19th century, the population began sparse, but settlement increased rapidly upon the conclusion of the War of 1812 and the designation of the city as Ohio's capital.
The ensuring commercial construction towards the late century became the popular Richardsonian Romanesque and Modernism styling. The Ohio statehouse was designed in the Greek Revival style and the city's most famous classic Art Deco structure is the renowned LeVeque Tower and attached Palace Theatre. This edition profiles many of the most poignant works coupled with their backgrounds and noteworthy history.
