Columbus and the Ohio State University Then and Now by Kathy Mast Kane PDF Summary

Book Description: It makes sense that Columbus, Ohio, was named for Christopher Columbus--it's a city well worth exploring. This friendly state capital on the banks of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers takes pride in its heritage and offers plenty of historic landmarks and beautifully preserved buildings to admire. Take a virtual tour of this lovely city and its history in Columbus and Ohio State University Then and Now. Discover Columbus in all of its past and present glory via contemporary photographs paired with archival images of the same locations. See how much the city has changed--and how much it has stayed the same. Go, Buckeyes! Columbus is home to Ohio State, the second-largest university in the United States, and has a lively tourist trade. This fascinating book makes a great souvenir for students, residents, and visitors alike. Mingle with the crowd at the 1955 unveiling of the Columbus statue at City Hall. This is still a favorite stop for locals and tourists who want their picture taken with the city's namesake. Stop by the elegant Statehouse at the intersection of Broad and High. This marvel of Greek Revival architecture took more than 22 years and 7 architects to finally complete in 1861. See how the city has evolved around this landmark in photos from 1908 and today. During the 1970's construction boom, many of the city's old landmarks were razed. Compare an 1898 image of the lovely old Union Station (complete with a circus parade!) with a modern image of the high-rises and office buildings that now occupy the space.* Take a tour of German Village and you may forget you're in the 21st century. Here, beautifully restored 19th-century Queen Anne cottages and quaint cobbled streets have hardly changed since they were built more than a hundred years ago. Includes additional then-and-now images of Columbus's beloved sites, including the Franklin Park Conservatory, Ohio State stadium, Goodale Park, the Ohio Theatre, Neil mansion, and Victorian Village.
