Columbus (OH) Branch

This lovely building still stands in downtown Columbus, OH. It was built in 1930, and until the 1950s, it was the only LDS building in the state (besides historic buildings related to the Church located in Kirtland).

At some point, there was a lovely stained glass window of the Angel Moroni in the circular window near the top of the building.

The building was sold around 1960, and now is owned by Orthodox Catholic Church congregation. The window (not being suitable for a new congregation) was saved, and nearly 30 years later, when a meetinghouse was built in nearby Dublin (on the outskirts of town), the window was moved there.

The new meetinghouse is not unique at all, but they still installed the original window above one of the entrances.

It's a lovely little window, and I wish I knew more about the history of the building and when the window was made. Until then, I'm glad it's still enjoyed by members.
