Original Port Columbus Air Terminal To Serve As New Home
The recently established non-profit, Ohio Air & Space Hall of Fame and Museum (OAS), announced that it has signed a long term lease with the Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA) for the original 1929 Port Columbus air terminal and tower, a rare architectural treasure located at 4920 East Fifth Avenue, at John Glenn International Airport (CMH) in Columbus, Ohio. The State of Ohio appropriated a $550,000 grant toward OAS's estimated $2 million cost of renovating the 12,000 square-foot-plus, Art Deco-style air terminal, which has been in disuse for nearly fifteen years despite being on the National Register of Historic Places.
