Huntington National Bank Building, Bank building on Capitol Square, Columbus, US
The Huntington National Bank Building is an office structure on Capitol Square in Columbus with 13 stories reaching 51 meters in height. Its eastern facade displays fine-grained limestone surfaces with ornamental cornices that reflect the neoclassical design principles of its era.
The structure was completed in 1926 by combining an existing building from 1903 into an expanded banking facility in downtown Columbus. This merger of two distinct construction periods created a building that documents the institution's growth in the city.
The ground floor retains historic banking spaces with original teller stations, service counters, and ornate ceiling details that reflect how financial institutions operated during the early 20th century. These features remain visible to anyone passing through and show the craft put into everyday commercial spaces.
The building is easily accessible from Capitol Square and functions as a central banking location with teller services. The original ground-floor banking spaces remain open for public passage, allowing visitors to view the historic interiors.
The building's archives hold a historical check signed by Abraham Lincoln the day before his assassination in 1865. This document connects the local business history with a pivotal moment in American history.
