Historic Preservation: The LeVeque Tower

The LeVeque Tower was the entire skyline feature of downtown Columbus from construction completion in 1927 until the 1960s. It is still one of the most recognized symbols of our City. Constructed as a hotel annex and office building, it morphed into Class B office space and was later left to deteriorate by a series of out-of-town owners. Now, the LeVeque has undergone a seven year transformation into a boutique hotel, apartments, condominiums, a restaurant and bar, offices and a coffee shop. This program explores the history and significance of the building, describes some of the design and technical challenges of renovating an occupied building, addresses building envelope challenges, and touches on the financial incentives necessary for a project like this.
