8 East Broad Street

8 East Broad Street is a 17-story high-rise building in Columbus, Ohio that stands approximately 213 feet tall near Capitol Square. The structure has been converted into residential condominium units under the development name '8 on the Square'.

Architect Frank Packard designed this building in 1906, making it Columbus's tallest structure until the LeVeque Tower surpassed it in 1927. It previously operated under the names Capitol Trust Building and State Savings and Trust Building.

The building displays early 20th-century design features and shapes downtown Columbus with its distinctive facade and vertical lines that reflect architectural trends of that era.

The building now houses private residences and is not open to the public, but the exterior can be viewed from the street. Its central location on East Broad Street makes it easy to reach and simple to include in a walking tour of downtown.

This building was once the hub of financial services in Columbus and housed major banking operations, reflecting its former prestige. This role as a financial center shaped the neighborhood and its role in the city's economy.
