The Columbia Building isn’t gone… yet. The Cleveland Landmarks Commission tabled the proposed demolition of the Columbia Building until its next meeting on Thu 6/9. The Commission and the design community agree that Rock Gaming hasn’t followed through on its commitment to integrate the casino into the city. The Columbia Building isn’t a dilapidated mess — it recently underwent a $9 million upgrade of its mechanical systems — and could make a nice boutique hotel if saved the wrecking ball.
