| 説明 | In 1847, at the age of 18, he arrived in Brooklyn, N.Y., and began learning the carpenter's trade from a man named Gilbane who, in time, sold his business to one R. A. Sheldon. Sheldon was an architect who had recently received a contract to design and build a building in Columbus, Ohio. Lyne Starling, one of the founders of Columbus, had died a bachelor and left $35,000 in his will for the construction of a medical college in Columbus. Sheldon was the man selected to design and build it. He came to Columbus with young George Bellows in 1849 to do just that. Bellows thought he might be here for a couple of years. He never left. The building that Sheldon designed and Bellows helped build was a gothic fairy tale castle as well as a medical college and hospital. In addition to being a work of art, it was also very well built and stood until the 1960s. The art was Sheldon's but the durability of the place was Bellows'. From his first work to his last, he built things to last. This Institution was chartered at the session of 1847 and '48. A lot was then procured and other preparations made, and in the spring of 1849, the building was commenced—Mr. R. A. Sheldon, architect. At the ceremonies of laying the corner-stone, Dr. Hoge delivered an address suited to the occasion. The work progressed regularly under the direction of Mr. Sheldon; and in the fall of 1850, the building was ready for the reception of students. The first session of lectures was opened and held during the winter of 1850 and 1851. The building at this time had cost about $45,000; of which Lyne Starling, Esq., one of the original proprietors of the town, generously donated $35,000. The building, however, in all its parts, was not completed until some years after. The total cost has been about $55,000, being #20,000 over the Starling donation; of which las sum of $20,000, the Faculty advanced $13,000, and citizens the balance.Since the organization of the Institution, there have been about 1,200 students in attendance.The building is situated at the corner of State and Sixth streets. The material of which it is composed, is brick, with a large proportion of ornamental cut stone. Its greatest length is one hundred and thirty-five feet, and its height to the top of the tower, is about one hundred and thirty-eight feet. Its arrangement is said to be well adapted to the purposes for which it was designed; and its outward appearance is admired by the lovers of modern architecture.The present officers of the Institution are— President—William S.
