W. and W. E. Page as a store, office and fraternal hall.","why_significant":"The building is argued to be architecturally significant at the local level as the only \"flat-iron\" building in Columbus. Its mansard-type tile roof recalls Spanish architecture, and Victorian-era cast iron supports hold up the second floor at the apex. It is also typical of the 1920s building boom, when structures were designed to fit available lot space.","narrative":"Built in 1920 at a cost of about $60,000, this two-story building at 1330 Broadway in Columbus occupies a triangular lot and follows a triangular floor plan. It was erected for R. W. and W. E. Page and originally held stores, offices and a fraternal hall. Construction is I-beam framing with stuccoed brick walls and a flat roof, topped by a mansard-like tile parapet with modillions and stuccoed shafts that visually divide the facade into sections. Cast iron supports at the apex carry the second floor, a Victorian-era feature in what was then a modern building. Around 1940 the original glass showcases at street level were replaced with large frosted glass block windows. Tenants included a wholesale grocer, then power company offices, with Georgia Power Company present from about 1931 until the late 1960s. It is considered locally significant as the only flat-iron building in Columbus and as an example of 1920s construction that made use of every bit of available lot space. The survey records it as vacant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Spanish Renaissance Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as vacant in the survey form; street level entrances and first-floor windows were reworked around 1940.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.167179-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/80001204.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206532","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/muscogee-county/triangle-building-80001204/"}
