Huntington National Bank Building, Bank building on Capitol Square, Columbus, US
The Huntington National Bank Building is a bank and office building on Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio, rising 13 floors. Its eastern facade is clad in fine-grained limestone and decorated with classical cornices typical of neoclassical design.
The building was completed in 1926 by merging a structure from 1903 with a new banking wing at the heart of Columbus. This joining of two separate construction phases makes it a rare example of how a financial institution grew within the city.
The ground floor still has the original teller counters, service desks, and decorated ceilings that show how large banks were built and used in the early 1900s. Anyone who walks through the entrance hall can see these details up close.
The building sits directly on Capitol Square, making it easy to reach on foot from central Columbus. The ground floor is open to the public, so a short stop allows a look at the historic interior without any special arrangements.
The building's archives hold a check signed by Abraham Lincoln on the day before his assassination in 1865. This document ties the local business history of Columbus to one of the most pivotal moments in American history.
