The Empire Building, also known as the Yuster Building, is a historic building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1] The eight-story Empire Building has Gothic-inspired commercial architecture. Its main tenant is also the building owner, Continental Real Estate. The Credit Union of Ohio operates on its ground floor.[2]
The building was originally known as the Yuster Building for owner Maurice Yuster. It was designed by noted Columbus architect Frank Packard, who died about half a year before its completion in 1924.[2]
