Yesterday
In the early twentieth century, a major change in architecture occurred along the city of Columbus' East Broad Street with the introduction of luxury apartments. The residents of these apartment buildings were either business men desiring an easier commute to their downtown offices or single men and women not wanting to be burdened with maintaining a large house and grounds.
As progress marched on, East Broad Street itself underwent many changes with the removal of trees to accommodate motor transportation. Many of its great mansions were converted to offices, while still others were removed and replaced by newer structures. The Historic District displays the result of post World War II growth and development out of downtown Columbus, maintaining a cohesive representation of the late 19th and early 20th century residential development on the east side. More than a century and a quarter of the city's growth can be seen along this street in a very short distance, showcasing some of Columbus' most notable architectural treasures.
Standing in tribute to that era is The Broadwin.
Today
In a new millennium, the grand design and stylish comfort of this historic landmark begins a new chapter. Built in 1926 as a luxury apartment building, The Broadwin's Second Renaissance design features include rusticated stone along its lower two stories, brick with stone quoins on its five center story section and smooth faced top story. It's wonderful façade is matched in grandeur by its stately foyer and magnificent ballroom. Among its eight-stories, you'll find 43 beautifully renovated one, two and three-bedroom condominiums, each with its own unique character and charms. Every unit varies in style with hardwood floors, decorative fireplace mantels, large windows and elegant architectural details that define The Broadwin, setting it apart from anything else available on the market. New appliances, windows, plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems, granite countertops, an enclosed parking garage and security system meld today's modern amenities with the incomparable sophistication of yesterday—creating a truly amazing lifestyle. All of this, coupled with a convenient city location, make The Broadwin Condominiums the future of urban living.
