Arcitectural arch from the old Union Station in Columbus. Was one of a set of two arches that made up the entrance to Union Station. The southern arch (which functioned as the original entrance) was demolished in 1928 in order to widen the entrance for trucks. The rest of Union Station was demolished in October of 1976.

The arch was moved from its original location at North High Street to Arch Park at 100 W. Hickory Street in 1980 and moved again to its current location at the north end of McFerson Commons Park in the Arena District in 1999.
