The Ohio Statehouse with its iconic 70ft tall cupola was completed in 1861. There was a eight-year lapse in the building of the Statehouse from 1840-1848. The completed basement and foundations were actually filled in with soil and Capitol Square was used as a pasture. It is one of the oldest state capitol buildings still in use. The figure in the foreground is a sculpture titled "Peace". The statue was unveiled in 1923, as a Civil War memorial recognizing the contributions of the troops in the fields and the women they left behind. #architecture

The LeVeque Tower is a steel frame building covered in glazed architectural terra-cotta tiles with an oak-bark texture. Originally, the building's exterior featured a large number of sculptures. However, much of it had to be removed because the terra-cotta began to crumble and fall to the street. Lost sculptures include four 18 feet eagles at the corners of the building at the 36th floor and four 20 feet statues of colossus and youth on the sides of the building at the setback of the 40th floor The spaces left by the departed sculpture serve as the bases for lights used to illuminate the tower. The Tower is often illuminated in white, but the colors change for certain holidays. Green for St,. Patrick's Day. Red, White and Blue for the 4th of July.
