Architecturally, it is noted for unusual proportioning in its second-floor window treatment and represents the modest Victorian Commercial buildings of downtown Columbus.","narrative":"Built around 1885 on Broadway in downtown Columbus, this two-story brick commercial building reflects the modest Victorian Commercial style common in the city's business district. The brick is laid in common bond with thin mortar joints. The ground floor has been altered, leaving a metal cornice along the front as the main original feature there. The upper floor has four bays, each framed by a wide curved arch, with radiating voussoir lintels and two-over-two windows. Subtle differences in the insets around the windows give the seemingly symmetrical facade an unusual sense of proportion. A wood and metal entablature with a brick architrave crowns the front. City directories show Bush Hardware at this address by 1888, and The Columbus Ledger, an evening paper, was listed at the upstairs address through the mid-1890s. Its combination of commercial history and representative design supports its local significance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian-Commercial","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as commercial property in fair condition; the first floor has been altered.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.047537-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001131.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001131/b83fa56d52-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80001131/b83fa56d52-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Blastoids","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Building_@_1009_Broadway.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Blastoids</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Building_@_1009_Broadway.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206394","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134399867"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/building-at-1009-broadway-80001131/"}
