One Nationwide Plaza, Corporate skyscraper in downtown Columbus, United States.
One Nationwide Plaza is a corporate office tower in downtown Columbus with 40 stories of dark vertical steel ribs and white limestone accents rising above the city. The building stands at the intersection of North High Street and Nationwide Boulevard, anchoring a busy commercial district.
The building was completed in 1977 as the new headquarters for an insurance company that had previously occupied a different location downtown. This construction project represented a major moment in Columbus' business growth and helped reshape the modern city skyline.
The building communicates with the local community through specially arranged interior lighting displays during holidays and events, creating visual messages visible across the city. These light compositions shape the evening skyline and help visitors understand how the place connects with people's celebrations and important moments.
The building sits in an easy-to-reach location with public transportation stops and parking options nearby. Visitors can explore the area on foot or by public transit and find many other attractions within walking distance.
A glass elevator once carried visitors to a restaurant on the 38th floor, but this dining destination closed in 1997. Few people know about this feature today, illustrating how office buildings adapt their uses over the decades.
