Its Georgian Revival front facade dates from about 1925, and it was built for the clothing store of Julia Hofflin and David Greentree.","why_significant":"The building is the only relatively intact example of early 20th century Georgian Revival influence on Broadway's commercial architecture, and it fills a chronological and stylistic gap among the street's other recognized buildings. It is also significant for commerce as the downtown store of Hofflin and Greentree, prominent Columbus clothiers for seventy years, who spent more than thirty of those years here.","narrative":"Two narrow storefronts at 1128 and 1130 Broadway in downtown Columbus make up this two-story brick commercial building. Its front facade dates from about 1925 and follows the Georgian Revival style, with symmetrical massing, paired round-headed wood windows set in brick panels, Flemish bond brickwork, and terra cotta panels carrying garlands, swags and an \"H & G\" motif. The rear may be older, possibly from the late 19th century. Inside, plaster walls, plank floors, ceiling medallions and an unusual concrete and glass skylight survive, though cast iron columns and diffusion glass transoms are hidden behind a mid-century false front. The building housed the clothing store founded in 1888 by Julia Hofflin and David Greentree, which operated until 1958 and advertised everything for man and boy. Later it served as a shoe store and optics center. It was recognized as the only relatively intact Georgian Revival commercial building on Broadway and as a link to the street's 1920s decade and its long-running clothier.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Current use is commercial.
