Broad Street in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, completed in 1900 for paint manufacturer James B. Hanna, with a rear carriage house.","why_significant":"The nomination cites the house as the home of James B. Hanna, co-founder and president of the Hanna Paint Company, one of Columbus' most successful industries. It is also described as an excellent example of turn-of-the-century domestic architecture in the city, with notable interior woodwork, stained glass and a grand staircase. It survives on a stretch of East Broad Street that was once among the city's most fashionable residential avenues.","narrative":"Completed in 1900 at 1021 East Broad Street in Columbus, this substantial residence was built for James B. Hanna, president of the Hanna Paint Company. It is built of buff brick on a stone foundation under a tile hipped roof, rising 2½ stories. A balustraded porch with twelve fluted Doric columns spans the facade, and an ornate pedimented dormer sits above. Inside are carved woodwork and mantels, decorative plaster, leaded and stained glass windows, and a notable grand staircase. Behind the house stands a buff brick carriage house with a Palladian dormer and two small cupolas. The Hanna firm, founded in 1888, became Ohio's leading paint company by 1896. When the house was finished, East Broad Street was a tree-lined, fashionable address, though the area later declined and many neighboring homes were demolished. The family kept the house until 1975, and it has since been sensitively adapted to executive offices. It was listed for its association with Hanna and as a fine local example of turn-of-the-century domestic design.","period_of_significance":"1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Adapted to executive offices by an insurance company after the 1975 death of Josephine Hanna; the interior features are described as in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.778985-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79001835.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001835/72e92f4685-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001835/72e92f4685-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hanna_House_in_Columbus.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hanna_House_in_Columbus.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"78002063","name":"Columbus Near East Side District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/columbus-near-east-side-district-78002063/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988517","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104733784"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/hanna-house-79001835/"}
