Built in 1897 and designed by Daniel H. Burnham and Company of Chicago, the train station was located in the current footprint of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. On October 22, 1976, demolition began despite having been listed on the National Register of Historic Places two years earlier. A restraining order federal judge George Smith halted demolition, but it was too late and only one arch of the ornate structure was saved. In 1999, the arch in its entirety was slowing inched over several blocks to its current location at Dimon McPherson Commons in the Arena District. #architecture ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/874/ee453e78-ac76-4287-b4e3-80085f30c8a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Arena District Arena District is popular for its abundant dining options, and if you're looking for more to see and do, you might think about a trip to Nationwide Arena or KEMBA Live!.
