"This large stone home at 580 East Broad Street, was the mansion of Clinton DeWeese Firestone. Firestone and Oscar Peters founded the Columbus Buggy Company in 1875. It soon became the largest manufacturer of light buggies in the world. As a symbol of his success Firestone built this home, designed by architect Elah Terrell, in the prestigious East Broad Street neighborhood. The home was completed in April, 1887 and had five levels. The Firestones lived here until 1913. On August 10, 1914 the home was purchased by the Columbus Mutual Life Insurance Company and used as the company headquarters until 1942. It was occupied by the Buckeye Union Casualty from 1942 to 1960. Demolished in February of 1962, this became the site of the Columbus Life Insurance Company on July 3, 1989."
