16 East Broad Street, Office building and skyscraper at Capitol Square, Columbus, US
16 East Broad Street is an office building in the Chicago School style located at Capitol Square with 13 floors rising approximately 168 feet (51 meters). Large windows and continuous vertical lines dominate the facade, while three elevators serve the interior.
Frank L. Packard designed the building in 1901, and it held the status of tallest structure in Columbus until 1906. The arrival of 8 East Broad Street ended its reign as the city's highest point.
The building displays Chicago School design traits with expansive windows and vertical lines that define the streetscape. This architectural language was characteristic of early 1900s business districts.
The building sits in downtown Columbus with good connections to local transportation and foot traffic. Its central location makes it easily accessible for those exploring the business district.
From 1927 to 1939 the headquarters of the National Football League occupied the upper floors. The organization selected this location under the direction of Joseph F. Carr.
