WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL MY BROTHER AND PARENTS VISITED THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF A MALL IN COLUMBUS. THIS AMAZING GROUP OF ARTISTIC LANDMARKS. SOME INCLUDED THE EIFFEL TOWER IN PARIS, FRANCE; THE LEANING TOWER OF PIZA IN PIZA, ITALY; THE PYRAMIDS OF CHEOPS AND THE SPHINX IN EGYPT; THE TAJ MAJOL IN AGRA INDIA; THE TREVI FOUNTAIN , ROME; THE NIAGRA FALLS, IN NEW YORK; AND THE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA. IT WAS A FUN PLACE TO LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD AND WHY THEY WERE FAMOUS.
MY FAMILY TOOK MOVIES OF US AS KIDS AND THEY ENJOYED PHOTOGRAPHY AND TAKING MOVIES OF US I DON'T REMEMBER VISITING THE CAPITOL IN COLUMBUS, BUT I KNOW MY DAD WENT TO GRADUATE SCHOOL HERE.
THE DEVELOPERS WERE DON CASTRO AND HIS SON . A NOTED ARTIST AND DESIGNER CONSTRUCTED THIS FEAT. THEY ALSO INCLUDED CARLSBAD CAVERNS IN NEW MEXICO AND THE PARTHENON IN ACROPOLIS, GREECE.
THE CONSTRUCTION COST $165,000 TO $250,000 AND WAS BUILT IN THE LATE 1950'S. IT DETERIORATED BY THE LATE 1960'S. THE EIFFEL TOWER WAS MOVED TO THE OWNER'S PROPERTY. BY 1985 A PORTION OF THE PARKING LOT COLLAPSED INTO THE NIAGRA FALLS EXHIBIT.
