It was designed by the locally prominent firm Richards, McCarty & Bulford. It is also tied to Frederick A. Miller, who ran the H.C. Godman Co., Columbus' pioneer and largest shoe manufacturer.","narrative":"Broad Gables is a 2-1/2 story Tudor Revival mansion completed in 1915 in Columbus, Ohio, on a three-acre lot in the Marion Heights Addition beside Wolfe Park. Designed by the Columbus firm Richards, McCarty & Bulford, it has English bond brick, stucco and half-timbered walls, a Belgian slate roof with tall chimneys, leaded casement windows and a V-shaped plan. Inside are original woodwork, beamed ceilings, tile floors and ornamental plaster. It was built for Frederick A. Miller, head of the H.C. Godman Co., a leading shoe manufacturer, and reflects the estate living of the city's business leaders. A survey of 50 nearby residences found no earlier or comparable Tudor Revival plan. After serving as a Carmelite convent from 1950 to 1983, the house returned to single-family use, and the 1983 renovation retained the original design and plan. A garage with apartment and a pool house, a former stable, remain on the grounds.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1915)","architect_builder":"Richards, McCarty, & Bulford Architects","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Occupied as a private single-family residence; rehabilitated in 1983 after serving as a convent from 1950 to 1983.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.726528-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/85001689.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001689/4e82223841-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85001689/4e82223841-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Skorry","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frederick_A._Miller_House-Broad_Gables.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Skorry</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:Frederick_A._Miller_House-Broad_Gables.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71988515","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_A._Miller_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105082152"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/miller-frederick-a-house-broad-gables-85001689/"}
