History Of The Columbus Convention Center





Blogroll MeThey just might have had it right in the very first place 1851 (photo 1).
Even the second one wasn't so bad 1875 (photo 2).
1897 this one (photo 3) was built and
was duplicated (facade) just up High Street but isn't the same site...people don't know about this because they don't care.
People should care though...because whatever this "starchetect" cost the city (1980's) it is similar to the story about the emperor not having any clothes...
Looks like the emperor might have paid too much money for clothes that might be sewn backwards and upside down, and inside out!

Gives a whole new meaning for the word "upgrade"
