East North Broadway Historic District

East North Broadway in Clintonville, Columbus, is a tree-lined residential street of about 117 primary buildings and 86 garages and outbuildings. Most are single-family houses built between the 1890s and late 1950s, with a school, two churches and an office building mixed in. Styles range from Queen Anne and Colonial Revival to Tudor Revival, Craftsman and mid-century designs. The street was laid out 100 feet wide with large lots and planned traffic circles, and early advertising promised that no home would cost less than $3,000. Sidewalks at Calumet Street still trace the outline of the removed circle. Architects such as James Boyd Martin and J. Edgar Outcalt designed several houses, and original owners included bankers, professionals and a former Ohio State University president. The street is listed for its consistent character and its concentration of larger, higher-style homes compared with neighboring streets.
