Over time, countless notable buildings have been built in the city of Columbus.
The reason for the demolition was often that the condition of the building was no longer adequate, but in some cases, its style was already ostentatious and outdated.
However, today's opinion may not be in line with the views prevalent at the time of its demolition, and many consider it detrimental to demolish buildings that were often built with high artistic demands at the time.
In the early 20th century, Columbus was a dense city dependent on streetcars and downtown retail, with unbroken rooflines.
Urban renewal became popular, and residents believed that old-looking buildings were causing a loss of business downtown, and so many buildings were demolished and replaced with parking lots.
