**ALERT: Demolition
of The Firestone Mansion IMMINENT!**
Physical evidence at the Joseph Firestone Mansion located at
1266 E. Broad Street suggests that demolition is imminent. Columbus Landmarks
Foundation (CLF) is disappointed with the Columbus Foundation’s
decision to demolish this historic building as part of the restoration
and expansion of its headquarters at the Old Governor’s Mansion.
CLF’s Board of Trustees and membership have made significant efforts
over the past several months to persuade the Columbus Foundation to preserve
the National Register-listed residence in the East Broad Street Historic
District in recognition of its architectural, historical and urban design
importance. It appears however that those efforts were in vain and that
the building will be lost. more »
