It is described as the only property on East Broad Street showing Prairie style influence. It was also the home of Soloman M. Levy, founder and president of The Union Clothing Company.","narrative":"Built around 1910-11 at 929 East Broad Street in Columbus, this two-and-a-half-story house of smooth grey brick shows the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement and the Prairie style. Its ribbon windows, high watertable, smooth stone stringcourses and strong horizontal emphasis give the facade a flat, two-dimensional look. It rests on a rock-faced ashlar foundation and has a hipped slate roof. A porch and siding were later added to the east elevation, and a parking lot now sits behind the building. The house was listed as the only property on East Broad Street displaying Prairie style influence, and as an example of early twentieth century residential architecture. It also reflects the turn-of-the-century residential growth of the street. From 1912 to 1942 it was the home of Soloman M. Levy and his wife Hattie. Levy founded and led The Union Clothing Company, which grew to have branches across Ohio and competed with F & R Lazarus.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Arts & Crafts/Prairie influence","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Used as offices; exterior condition fair to good, with a side porch and siding added to the east elevation and a parking lot added at the rear.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.37205-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/86003437.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86003437/357b14a27a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86003437/357b14a27a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soloman_Levy_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soloman_Levy_House.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/71985230","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soloman_Levy_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105063244"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/franklin-county/levy-soloman-house-86003437/"}
