If you were on the west side of Columbus Monday night and thought, “Wait… is there a tornado and no one told me?” you weren’t alone.

Tucked into a quiet corner of Columbus, the building at 72 Woodland Avenue doesn’t immediately betray its past. Its red brick exterior is grand but not boastful, elegant but not ostentatious.

Miller, then president of the H.C. Godman Shoe Company, the mansion was a symbol of the city’s rising prosperity.
