Columbus has over 170 notable buildings listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Columbus, Ohio|National Register of Historic Places]]; it also maintains its own register, the [[Columbus Register of Historic Properties]], with 82 entries.<ref>{{cite web|title=Columbus Register of Historic Places: Individual Listings & Historic Districts|url=https://www.columbus.gov/uploadedFiles/Columbus/Departments/Development/Planning_Division/Document_Library/Library_Documents/PDFs/Columbus_Register_of_Historic_Properties.pdf|access-date=May 8, 2020|archive-date=January 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200127034128/https://www.columbus.gov/uploadedFiles/Columbus/Departments/Development/Planning_Division/Document_Library/Library_Documents/PDFs/Columbus_Register_of_Historic_Properties.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> The city also maintains four historic districts not listed on its register: [[German Village]], [[Italian Village]], [[Victorian Village]], and the [[Brewery District]].<ref>{{cite web|title=City of Columbus Historic Districts|publisher=City of Columbus Department of Development|url=https://www.columbus.gov/uploadedFiles/Columbus/Departments/Development/Planning_Division/Document_Library/Library_Documents/PDFs/Historic_Districts.pdf|date=November 2013|access-date=January 11, 2023|archive-date=January 11, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230111162048/https://www.columbus.gov/uploadedFiles/Columbus/Departments/Development/Planning_Division/Document_Library/Library_Documents/PDFs/Historic_Districts.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>

Construction of the Ohio Statehouse began in 1839 on a {{convert|10|acre|ha|0|adj=on}} plot of land donated by four prominent Columbus landowners. This plot formed [[Capitol Square]], which was not part of the city's original layout. Built of Columbus [[limestone]] from the [[Marble Cliff Quarry Co.]], the Statehouse stands on foundations {{convert|18|ft|m}} deep that were laid by [[prison labor]] gangs rumored to have been composed largely of [[masonry|masons]] jailed for minor infractions.<ref name="attb"/> It features a central recessed [[porch]] with a [[colonnade]] of a forthright and primitive [[Doric order|Greek Doric mode]]. A broad and low central pediment supports the windowed [[astylar]] drum under an invisibly low [[dome|saucer dome]] that lights the interior [[rotunda (architecture)|rotunda]]. There are several artworks within and outside the building, including the ''[[William McKinley Monument]]'' dedicated in 1907. Unlike many U.S. state capitol buildings, the Ohio State Capitol owes little to the architecture of the [[United States Capitol|national Capitol]]. During the Statehouse's 22-year construction, seven architects were employed. The Statehouse was opened to the legislature and the public in 1857 and completed in 1861, and is located at the intersection of Broad and High streets in downtown Columbus.

Within the [[Driving Park]] heritage district lies the [[Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker House|original home]] of [[Eddie Rickenbacker]], a World War I [[fighter aircraft|fighter pilot]] ace. Built in 1895, the house was designated a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1976.<ref name=nhlsum>{{cite web|url=http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=1657&ResourceType=Building |title=Captain Edward V.

====Demolitions and redevelopment====
{{see also|List of demolished buildings and structures in Columbus, Ohio}}
Demolition has been a common trend in Columbus for a long period of time, and continues into the present day. Preservationists and the public have sometimes run into conflict with developers hoping to revitalize an area, and historically with the city and state government, which led programs of [[urban renewal]] in the 20th century.<ref>{{cite news|last=Warren|first=Brent|title=10 Things I've Learned Writing About Development in Columbus for 10 Years|newspaper=Columbus Underground|url=https://columbusunderground.com/10-things-ive-learned-writing-about-development-in-columbus-for-10-years-bw1/|date=February 17, 2023|access-date=February 17, 2023|archive-date=February 17, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230217202705/https://columbusunderground.com/10-things-ive-learned-writing-about-development-in-columbus-for-10-years-bw1/|url-status=live}}</ref>
