Good morning, Franklin County. A piece of Columbus architectural royalty just hit the market—a $1.25 million historic gem nestled in Walhalla Ravine. Built in 1937, this 3,600-square-foot urban retreat with four distinctive patios joins other luxury properties making headlines, including multi-million dollar residences in New Albany Country Club and a Sunbury estate complete with its own "party barn."
Speaking of architectural treasures, September marks 101 years since ground broke on Columbus' first skyscraper. The majestic 555-foot LeVeque Tower—once the fifth tallest building worldwide—has evolved from Depression-era survivor to modern mixed-use marvel after a $30 million renovation. While you're marking your calendar for historical anniversaries, grab your pumpkin-shaped candy buckets too—central Ohio's Halloween trick-or-treating schedule has been released, with most communities (including Columbus) setting spooky hours for Thursday, October 30, from 6-8 p.m.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🏡 Historic Walhalla Ravine gem hits market at $1.25 million. The 3,600-square-foot residence, built in 1937, offers a natural retreat within Columbus' urban landscape.

🏙️ Columbus' first skyscraper broke ground 101 years ago. The 555-foot LeVeque Tower forever changed downtown Columbus when construction began in September 1924. Originally built as the American Insurance Union Citadel, it was briefly the fifth tallest building in the world, intentionally designed to exceed the Washington Monument's height. The 47-story art deco masterpiece survived the Great Depression, changing ownership several times before undergoing a $30 million renovation in 2017. Today, the historic landmark houses a luxury hotel, restaurant, offices, and condominiums—continuing its legacy as an iconic piece of Columbus architecture.
