Hi,

I think these look great! I grew up in Columbus, and instantly recognized the LeVeque Tower and Huntington building at least. Thanks especially for the interior shots showing how these were constructed (that’s a lot of sand red and trans-blue and green!) Is the tallest building One Nationwide Plaza? Maybe if you do that, you could have the exterior elevators running up and down off an RCX? It would help break up the monotony.

Thanks. One Nationwide plaza is “only” 148 meters tall, so it is the 6th tallest currently in Columbus. The tallest is the Rhodes Office tower, at 191 meters. This would be around 35 bricks taller than the Huntington is. The plus sude of this building is that it does not necessarily require expensive bricks, red, black, and some light gray would get it done. One nationwide would be nicer to build. With external working elevators, hmmm, maybe that one will be next then.
