Columbus

Primary sights in Columbus posters

There are plenty of architectural wonders in Ohio's capital city, such as the historic building which is truly beautiful, inside and out, the Leveque Tower. Located in downtown Columbus and standing at a massive 169 meters, the majestic Leveque Tower is the second-tallest building in the city and the seventh-tallest in the entire state. To justify that it is as beautiful inside as outside, the ornate building features mosaics, bronze statues and marble floors imported from as far as Italy and Belgium. When it was completed in 1927, it was the fifth-highest building in the whole world. You can see this iconic structure in Columbus posters like Columbus Ohio Skyline. Another major player in the Columbus skyline is the Rhodes States Office Tower. At 41-stories, this granite structure is the tallest building in Columbus, named after James Allen Rhodes, Ohio’s longest-serving governor who championed the construction of this specific tower. There is an observatory perch at nearly the top of the 192 meter tall tower that commands clear views of much of the city, which you can enjoy with Columbus posters by Photowall.

The tremendous history

The name Columbus can be easily traced back to a famous man, the navigator Christopher Columbus, who is said to be the one who discovered the city. In its beginning, the city was frequently found in conflict because many people had a vested interest in it aside from the Americans, like the Native Americans and the French. Between 1754 and 1763, there was a war of seven years between the French people and the Native Americans who both wanted to control the city. The turmoil, many battles and number of people who died partially led to the Treaty of Paris which made Ohio to be under the rule of the British empire. After the American Revolution and Ohio achieving its statehood in 1803, Columbus was officially founded in 1812. As you can see, this city has plenty of interesting history, which is a useful tool when using Columbus posters to decorate your space with. It will give your design more meaning and depth, as well as acting as a great conversational topic.
