Rhodes State Office Tower
Columbus OH

Hotels Close to Rhodes State Office Tower
The James A. Rhodes State Office Tower is a 629-foot (192 m) skyscraper located in Columbus, Ohio. The Rhodes Tower was completed and occupied in 1974, and is currently the tallest building in Columbus. Currently, approximately 4000 state employees work in the building. Construction costs totaled approximately $66 million. It is named after Ohio's longest serving governor, James A. Rhodes. The building's odd shape is attributed to a last-minute decision to cap the buildings height; originally, the building was supposed to be nearly 150 feet (46 m) taller. The building, located across Broad Street from the Ohio Statehouse, contains several state offices. The Rhodes Tower contains 1,200,000 square feet (111,000 m2) of office space. The offices and courtroom for the Ohio Supreme Court were at one time located in the Rhodes Office Tower, having moved from the Judiciary Annex of the Statehouse. The court left the building for its own facility, the Ohio Judicial Center, in 2004. The Rhodes State Office Tower is located right behind the LeVeque Tower when viewing downtown Columbus from the west. Additionally, The Board of Trade Building was demolished to make way for this building.

Columbus Museum of Art

Hotels Close to Columbus Museum of Art
The Columbus Museum of Art, which opened on January 22, 1931, is an historic art museum located at 480 East Broad Street in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was designed by prolific Columbus architects Richards, McCarty and Bulford. Because of its architectural importance, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places On March 19, 1992, under its original name, the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts.
It had historically focused on European and American art up through the early modern period, but in recent years has branched into more contemporary art exhibits and a permanent photography collection. Some critics believe the Museum has reached out of its element in these ventures[citation needed], particularly given the proximity of the contemporary art-focused Wexner Center for the Arts.
Highlights of its permanent collection include early Cubist paintings by Picasso and Juan Gris, and works by Degas, Matisse, Edward Hopper, and Norman Rockwell. The Museum also has a substantial collection of paintings by Columbus native, George Bellows. Its photography collection includes works by Berenice Abbott and Eugene Atget.
Most of the Museum's galleries are traditionally decorated, with walls of various colors rather than the stark white cubes of contemporary galleries. Those rooms housing pre-19th century European paintings have been hung in the old "salon style", with the walls covered by paintings hung directly above and next to one another, rather than spaced apart in single rows.
Temporary and traveling shows are also regularly featured. The most popular of these in recent years were Renoir's Women featuring more than 30 works by the Impressionist master and an exhibit of Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures, in which the massive, chaotic forms were installed in the midst of the traditional painting galleries.
The Museum also features an outdoor sculpture gallery, a cafe, and "Eye Spy: Adventures in Art", an interactive exhibit tailored towards educating children.

The Graystone Wine Cellar occupies the hand-hewn limestone vaults of the 1875 Bavarian Brewery in the heart of the historic Brewery District.
History of the Graystone Cellars
History of Graystone Wine Cellar
The Graystone Wine Cellar, a banquet hall with catering capacity in Columbus Ohio, occupies the hand-hewn limestone vaults of the 1875 Bavarian Brewery in the heart of the historic Brewery District. The roots of the Bavarian Brewery, which is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, can be traced to two German immigrants who arrived here in the 1830s: John Blenkner and his son-in-law George Schlegel. They founded the original Bavarian Brewery in the block just north of our current location. The brewery prospered for several years until 1856, when George Schlegel bought out his father-in-law and expanded the brewery. Then, with prosperity on the horizon, George Schlegel promptly contracted typhoid fever and died in December of 1856, leaving the business to his wife, Margaret, and their four children, all under the age of six.
Margaret and her father soon realized their need for a professional Braumeister to take charge of the family business. They wrote to their relatives in Bavaria, asking for help. Their prayers were answered in the form of twenty-four year old Nicholas Schlee, who arrived here in January of 1860, having just completed his training in the Bavarian Steigerwald as a master brewer. Young Nicholas, the nephew of George Schlegel, was apparently a man of great personal resources who pursued his goals with single-minded intent. By April of 1860 he had won the heart of his Aunt (by marriage) Margaret, and they were married on April 19, barely three months after his arrival. Margaret gave birth to their son, Theodore, the following year.
Schlee promptly began a series of expansions and improvements at the brewery, including switching production to the new lager style of beer which was rapidly gaining popularity. In 1866, Schlee purchased three empty lots on Front Street with money he had saved from his salary as Brewmaster. For nine long years he marshaled his resources. In 1875, he built the new Bavarian Brewery at our current location. Described as “grand” and “splendid” in news accounts of the time, the imposing, deep cellared brick structure of the new Bavarian was the last of the great German breweries to be built in Columbus, ending the period of expansion begun during the Civil War. The new Bavarian ushered in a period of modernization and consolidation in the Columbus brewing industry. By the end of the 1870s, five breweries operated in the district, down from a height of thirteen, even though total production had actually increased.
The 1890s saw the heyday of the brewing industry in Columbus, as well as continued consolidation due to modernization. The three remaining breweries, Hoster, Capitol, and the Bavarian, had a total production which was thirteen times that of 1870, with beer shipped to most of the surrounding states. However, storm clouds were on the horizon.
By the turn of the century the market had begun to deteriorate due to competition from Cincinnati and other area breweries, as well as the increasing success of the Temperance Movement, which began in Worthington, Ohio in 1827. In response to these challenges the remaining breweries merged into the Hoster-Columbus Associated Breweries Company in 1904. The new combined company proved unable, however, to weather the storm. In 1908 an Ohio county option law went into effect which resulted in fifty-seven Ohio counties being dry by the end of the year. In 1914 state prohibition went into effect in West Virginia, where fully half of the beer produced in Columbus was being distributed. Nicholas Schlee, by then a director in the new company, died in 1914, and by the end of the year the company was in receivership. The combined breweries struggled on for a few more years, but in 1918, as a “war conservation measure”, the production of beer was entirely prohibited and the proud era of German brewing in Columbus came to a conclusive end. The company struggled on for some time, producing ice and soft drinks, but finally dissolved in 1924 and the remaining real estate was disposed of.
The building and the surrounding area fell into disrepair, until 1980, when the Edwards family began to restore the buildings in the area. Restoration of the space now occupied by Graystone began in 1990. At that time our space was just a series of empty, dark, dirty, cavernous cellars with no solid floors, no doors, and no electricity. But there was an energy here that inspired us to give the space a rebirth. Graystone Winery opened in November of 1990. For the next fourteen years Graystone produced small amounts of wine, in conjunction with our sister winery, Wyandotte Winery, on the northeast side of Columbus. Our primary mission, though, has always been to play host to some of Columbus’ most elegant, and intimate, private events. Over the years Graystone has hosted literally hundreds of wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, anniversary parties, meetings, and corporate events.
In 2004, Graystone Winery became Graystone Wine Cellar and ceased the on-premise production of wine, although we continue to feature our private label wine specially produced for us by Wyandotte Winery, as well as a variety of specially selected fine wines from Ohio and around the world. All of the wine we carry is available for sale at state minimum prices. Graystone continues to provide the perfect intimate setting for your banquet, wedding reception or other special event, presenting the highest quality catering menus in the most unique atmosphere in Columbus Ohio. Come join us for the finest in Columbus hospitality.
Our banquet hall is set up to supply all your needs, from wait staff to catering, in Columbus Ohio; we are your choice for a memorable wedding reception.
