Today, the Hyatt Regency Hotel sits about on the same spot and at the same angle as that first station.This station was built in 1850 and at that time was just outside the Columbus city limits. By 1864 at least 4 railroads crossed High Street causing long delays on High Street as trains were made-up, loaded and unloaded.In 1865 Abraham Lincoln's Funeral Train stopped here and his casket was loaded onto a decorated wagon which was driven down High Street to the Statehouse.In 1868 the Union Depot Company of Columbus was incorporated with the purpose to make a study whether or not it was feasible to build a new and improved station that could handle the increasing train traffic and also relieve the traffic congestion on High Street. After his cartooning job at the Columbus Citizen ended, McClelland taught himself to watercolor. A prolific artist, he was known for completing three paintings a week for twenty-five years prior to his retirement in 1994. His paintings are in the collections of the Columbus Museum of Art, Capital University's Schumacher Gallery, the Zanesville Art Institute as well as in the homes of many central Ohioans. Collections of his original cartoons are held at the Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library and the Columbus College of Art and Design, where he taught for sixteen years. He was a founder of the Bexley Area Art Guild and the Central Ohio Watercolor Society. He also served for ten years as Director of Fine Arts at the Ohio State Fair. McClelland was very active in the Columbus community serving as president of the Columbus Art League, Arts Council of Columbus, Downtown Lions Club, and Athletic club.
