This arch is all that remains of Columbus Grand Union Station, the city's third and final train station.

Built in 1897 and designed by Daniel H. Burnham and Company of Chicago, the train station was located in the current footprint of the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

On October 22, 1976, demolition began despite having been listed on the National Register of Historic Places two years earlier. A restraining order federal judge George Smith halted demolition, but it was too late and only one arch of the ornate structure was saved.

In 1999, the arch in its entirety was slowing inched over several blocks to its current location at Dimon McPherson Commons in the Arena District.

"I have stayed in many many many hotels. I’ve never experienced a hotel stay like this. The staff was hospitable. It felt more like home away from home as to just being in a hotel."
