Beacon Building

The Beacon Building had been built in 1957 for the Beacon Mutual Indemnity Company [hence the name].
City National Bank [later Bank One and now Chase Bank] had owned the Beacon Building during much of the 1970s; the City of Columbus bought it in 1978.
An informal source with the City of Columbus who works in a nearby building tells me that the Beacon Building has outgrown its useful life as an office building.
Once all City of Columbus departments have moved out of the Beacon Building and the city no longer needs that building, officials reportedly intend to sell it to a private developer.
