once you get downtown in Columbus there is not a great deal of fun stuff going on. there's the state capitol which is basically as dull as most state capitols but with the added indignity that they seem to have forgotten to put the dome on. they insist this is intentionalpic.twitter.com/uMdPYbDY87

also one good tower, the LeVeque Tower, by C Howard Crane - built shortly before Crane's business in the US collapsed and he moved to London, where he built the excellent deco bit of Earl's Court exhibition centre, now idiotically demolishedpic.twitter.com/nH0VwlKHnk

there is also a pair of fascinating and fascinatingly different historicist churches, both 1857 - Westminster Presbyterian (John Clark) and Second Presbyterian (Sidney Stone). wish i knew more about whether these two were talking to each other or were fierce rivalspic.twitter.com/flMK56GeA3

we will leave Columbus via the train station, which is batshit - the tower was built in response to a vaguely Orientalist hotel next door which has since been demolished, leaving it contextless and bizarrepic.twitter.com/qUUq7HGKzk

holy shit - this headquarters for an engineering association is a charming mid-century office block...covered with a massive open geodesic dome because why notpic.twitter.com/ptJHjNpvX0
