dbo:abstract La LeVeque Tower es un rascacielos de 47 pisos en el centro de Columbus, la ciudad más poblada del estado de Ohio (Estados Unidos). Con 169,29 metros de altura, fue el edificio más alto de Columbus desde su finalización en 1927 hasta 1974. En la actualidad es el segundo más alto de la ciudad y el séptimo más alto del estado. Diseñado por C. Howard Crane, el rascacielos art moderne de 32.866 m² fue inaugurado como la American Insurance Union Citadel en 1927 y en ese momento era el quinto edificio más alto del mundo. Construida a un costo de 8,7 millones de dólares, el diseño de la torre incorporó ornamentación ornamentada y una fachada de terracota, y fue diseñada con 600 habitaciones de hotel en dos alas, así como un lugar de actuación adjunto, el Palace Theatre. Después de que American Insurance Union quebró en la Gran Depresión, la torre pasó a llamarse Lincoln-LeVeque Tower en 1946 y más tarde LeVeque Tower en 1977. El espacio de oficinas de la torre tuvo un éxito desigual en la atracción de inquilinos durante su historia temprana, pero se convirtió en el hogar de varias agencias estatales y bufetes de abogados. A medida que el desarrollo del centro de Columbus alcanzó su punto máximo desde la década de 1960 y se construyeron varios otros edificios de gran altura, la torre enfrentó una competencia cada vez mayor de otros edificios de oficinas importantes y sus tasas de disponibilidad aumentaron. A lo largo de su historia, la torre cambió de manos varias veces antes de ser vendida a un grupo de inversionistas inmobiliarios en 2011. Posteriormente, los propietarios actuales la convirtieron en un desarrollo de uso mixto que incluye un hotel, departamentos, condominios, oficinas y un restaurante, que abrió en 2017.

C'est l'un des immeubles les plus célèbres de Columbus. Conçu par Charles Howard Crane, il abrite notamment un théâtre par Thomas W. Lamb, le (en), l'un des principaux équipements culturels de la ville. L'immeuble a été classé monument historique en 1975 (Registre national des lieux historiques) La structure du bâtiment est composée de 10 000 tonnes de béton armé. Les murs extérieurs sont recouvertes de briques en terre cuite. Ce fut le premier gratte-ciel de l'Ohio à reposer sur des fondations basées sur des caissons qui vont jusqu'à 34 mètres de profondeur. Les aigles en terre cuite gardant les entées principales ont une envergure de 6 mètres. À sa construction c'était le plus haut immeuble de Columbus jusqu'à la construction de la en 1973. Fin 2013 c'était le 2e plus haut immeuble de la ville. La réalisation de la LeVeque Tower a coûté 7,8 millions de $ de l'époque. Les ornementations extérieures ont été réalisées par Fritz Albert d'après les conceptions du sculpteur new-yorkais Carl H. Keck. Une plaque en bronze avec un horoscope de la tour et les positions des planètes au moment de la pose d'une des pierres angulaires a été apposée le 12 février 1925. 5 ouvriers sont morts durant la construction de l'immeuble. (fr) The LeVeque Tower is a 47-story skyscraper in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. At 555 feet 5 inches (169.29 m) it was the tallest building in the city from its completion in 1927 to 1974, and remains the second-tallest today. Designed by C. Howard Crane, the 353,768 square feet (32,866.1 m2) art moderne skyscraper was opened as the American Insurance Union Citadel in 1927 and at the time was the fifth tallest building in the world. Built at a cost of $8.7 million, the tower's design incorporated ornate ornamentation and a terracotta facade, and it was designed with 600 hotel rooms in two wings as well as an attached performance venue, the Palace Theatre. After American Insurance Union went bankrupt in the Great Depression, the tower was renamed the Lincoln-LeVeque Tower in 1946, and later the LeVeque Tower in 1977. The tower's office space saw mixed success in attracting tenants during its early history, but it became home to a number of state agencies and law firms. As development of downtown Columbus peaked from the 1960s and several other high rise buildings were constructed, the tower faced increasing competition from other major office buildings and its vacancy rates rose. Over the course of its history, the tower changed hands several times before being sold to a group of real estate investors in 2011. The current owners subsequently converted it into a mixed-use development including a hotel, apartments, condominiums, offices and a restaurant, which opened in 2017. (en)
