It is named after Dr Edward Orton, Sr. who served as Ohio State's first president, OSU Professor of Geology from 1873 to 1899, and Ohio's State Geologist from 1882 until his death in 1899. Orton Hall is built of 40 different Ohio building stones. In the outside walls, these stones are laid in stratigraphic order according to their relative positions in Ohio's bedrock. The only non-indigenous to Ohio stone used is Indiana Limestone to build the front steps. It was chosen because of its high concentration of embedded fossils. The bell tower was dedicated in 1915 and contains 25,000 pounds of bells that can be heard regularly tolling across campus. Encircling the top of the tower are 24 columns with gargoyle-like figures which are restorations of fossil animals. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/874/f039bfe9-6438-491c-877b-af13e9f1c981.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ohio State University 6 min walk \- 0.4 miles - ![Historic Ohio Stadium with rotunda entrance against a cloudy sky in Columbus USA](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6066361/2fb9c79e-1f40-4c6c-a81a-489d7ec0db1a.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ohio Stadium 3 min drive \- 1.8 miles - OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital 19 min walk \- 1.0 mile - Schottenstein Center 2 min drive \- 1.3 miles - Bill Davis Stadium 2 min drive \- 1.3 miles ### Getting around - Port Columbus International Airport (CMH) 19 min drive ### Restaurants - McDonald's 8 min walk - Skyline Chili 4 min walk - McDonald's 4 min drive - Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers 8 min walk - Riverside Hospital Cafeteria 16 min walk ## About this property ### Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbus Univ Area - Osu by IHG Hotel near Ohio State University A free breakfast buffet, a library and dry cleaning/laundry services are just a few of the amenities provided at Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbus Univ Area - Osu by IHG.
