COLUMBUS, Ohio: "Crews early Wednesday removed the statue of Christopher Columbus from in front of Columbus City Hall. Shortly before 6:30 a.m. local time, the statue was lifted off its pedestal and rotated to face City Hall. Within an hour, the statue had been placed onto a flatbed truck and taken away from the area.

According to a press release issued by the city Wednesday morning, Smoot Construction was involved in moving the statue, which “will be placed in safekeeping at a secure city facility.”

The statue, which was a gift to Columbus from its sister city of Genoa, Italy, was placed at City Hall in 1955."
