Chase Tower

Chase Tower is an office building at 100 East Broad Street featuring 25 floors and standing about 357 feet (109 meters) tall in downtown Columbus. The structure houses office spaces throughout and maintains a Chase bank branch at ground level.

The building was completed in 1964 and replaced the Rowland building, which housed shops, a restaurant, and a dance studio until demolition in 1963. This completion marked a turning point in how the downtown area developed.

The building reflects international modernist design that shaped how downtown Columbus looked from the 1960s onward. Its clean lines and glass facade remain part of how locals and visitors experience the city center today.

The tower is easily located on a central street in downtown Columbus and remains accessible throughout the day. Visitors can visit the ground-level banking services or view the building's architectural features from the street.

The building earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023, recognizing it as the tallest structure built in Columbus during the 1960s. This honor came decades after its construction, showing how views of modernist architecture have changed over time.
