Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad Station
About this property
The Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad Station, today named Station 67, is a union meeting space and event hall located in Franklinton, near Downtown Columbus, Ohio. Built by the Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad from 1895 to 1896, it served as a passenger station until 1930. It served as an office and shelter for Volunteers of America from 1931 to 2003, and has been the headquarters of International Association of Fire Fighters Local 67, a firefighters' union, since 2007. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. During its history, the building has experienced fires (in 1910 and 1975) and floods (in 1913 and 1957), though its relatively few owners have each made repairs and renovations to preserve the building's integrity. The building is the last remaining train station in Columbus. The two-story structure was designed by prolific Columbus firm Yost & Packard in an eclectic style, with elements of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and Japanese influences. It is made of variegated brick and sandstone with red tile roofs. Its central feature is a 3.5-story tower which once held clocks on three sides. The interior has seen modifications, though its main hall (the former passenger waiting room) still retains most of its original features. The building's eclectic architecture has earned its appreciation as "one of the city's most whimsical and unusual buildings", and architect and Yale architecture school chair Paul Rudolph's favorite structure in the city.
