The building is one of four remaining examples of this property type located within this near west side neighborhood of Columbus. Franklinton Background The Broad and Hawkes building lies in Franklinton, the original settlement of the Columbus area that was founded in 1797 by Lucas Sullivant on the west bank of the Scioto River. Plagued by flooding, the original settlement was shortly moved to the west further away from the river. Columbus was established in 1812 when four Franklinton men donated land for a new state capital to be built just east of the Scioto River. Franklinton and Columbus developed separately, but Columbus greatly surpassed Franklinton in growth within a short time of its founding. Columbus grew steadily as the seat of state government and a center of commerce and industry. In the post-Civil War years the city was booming with expansion.
Finally in 1870 Franklinton was annexed to Columbus, although the area continued to be known as Franklinton even to the present day. "By joint action of the City Council and the County Commissioners in 1870, an area of 4,052 acres, including Franklinton, the original settlement, and Middletown just east and a hamlet called Birmingham, west of Goodale park, was taken into the city of Columbus. The population of Franklinton, while not great, was so considerable as to make better protection necessary. The annexation gave new life to the section and it soon became the progressive West Side, with many new (Hooper, p.53) Today the boundaries of Franklinton are still roughly what they were circa 1900: the Scioto River on the north and east, Mound Street on the south, and Central Avenue on the west (see attachment A).
Although the western boundary of Columbus ultimately pushed passed the Franklinton neighborhood, Franklinton was what people commonly referred to as the west side in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The area was also often referred to as the Bottoms due to the low-lying nature of the land west of the In 1880 the population of Columbus was almost 52,000. There was 70% growth in the 1890s with the population reaching 125,000 in 1900. "By the 1890s, the city was growing spatially at a very rapid rate. The boundaries of the city were stretching out to well beyond the 2-mile ring one might draw on a river. of the 2oth century. Under Criterion C, the building at Broad and Hawkes is a good representative of an homes as well as manufacturing establishments.
Twenty years later the population was about 12,000."

(Lentz-p.97) Streetcar and Industrial History By the mid 1800s Columbus was a bustling city that was continually expanding out from its center at Broad and High. Public transportation was limited to horse drawn omnibuses that were slow and uncomfortable. Horse drawn streetcars were first established in 1863 on High Street.
The horse drawn streetcars were more efficient as the cars were now on tracks laid in the center of the street. Other streetcar lines were developed on the other main streets into the 1880s, including one out West Broad Street that was constructed in 1875 for a cost of $40,000. Car barns are also noted as being located on West Broad Street at that time. Sidney Howe Short, an inventor from Columbus, experimented with early mechanized streetcar designs. "Short built a demonstrator line in Columbus near the state fairgrounds, which opened during seasonal, the line was an unqualified success. Daily ridership reached as high as six to seven thousand passengers." (Semsel-p. 64-65) To entice patrons to try the new transportation, rides were free.
A Columbus Dispatch history on public transportation in Columbus cites the demonstrator line as placing Columbus "among the first cities in the country to have electric streetcars." (Ionne, p. 9) "Then in the early 1890s, the world changed again. The streetcars were electrified. Now the streetcars could move significantly faster and cool the cars as they moved in the summer. The heating in the winter was more efficient as well. Most importantly, the 30-minute journey to work could now carry Columbus was typical in its electrification, expansion, and enthusiasm for streetcar lines. Across the country both large and mid-size communities were establishing electric streetcar lines. "The trolley represented progress and technological achievement; no community that thought well of its future 12,000 miles of track had been electrified.
By the end of 1903 America's 30,000 miles of street railway was 98 percent electrified." (Jackson, p.111) Histories of Columbus offer differing opinions on which street had the first electrified streetcar; some cite High Street while others cite West Broad Street. All of the histories that cite High Street as the first provide a date of 1891 for electrification, however there is evidence that the West Broad Street line was operating in 1890. A 1906 letter from the City Solicitor to the City Council outlines the history of streetcar lines on West Broad. The 1875 line built by the Glenwood and Greenlawn Street Railway one 3, 4, or 5 miles from the heart of the city. Whole new "streetcar suburbs" developed." (Lentz-p.98) the spring of 1888. A mile in length, the line was served by two motorized cars. Though only could afford to be thought backward and unpromising.
The electric street car was a source of pride; the NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 3 Franklinton Rowhouse Apartments at Broad and Hawkes Franklin County, Ohio April 28, 1890, the Council passed an ordinance No. 5558, granting the consent of the City Council to the use of electricity, cable traction or gas engines, by The Glenwood and Greenlawn Street Railway Company in operating its railways." And a few months later, "On December 1, 1890, the Council passed an ordinance No.
5928, granting the consent of the City Council to The Glenwood and Greenlawn Street Railway Company to construct, maintain and operate a street railroad in Broad Street, east driveway to the State Hospital, or what is known as Shady Lane." (Marshall) Additionally The Story of Columbus, Ohio published in 1898 contained a photo of the first electric streetcar with the notation that it traveled West Broad Street beginning in 1891 (see attachment D). Regardless of which street came first, the move to electrification was rapid and all existing lines were using electric by February, 1892. The West Broad Street line was extended from its western terminus at the State Hospital to Hague Avenue in 1895.
Throughout the 1890s electric streetcar lines were added on the principal streets of the Franklinton neighborhood, including West Town Street, West Mound Street, Central Avenue, Sullivant Avenue, McDowell Street, and West Rich Street. Car barns continued to be located on West Broad (see attachment F). A December 1910 map shows the streetcar lines for the city of Columbus, which included all of the Franklinton lines established in the last decade of the 19#h century and the car barns at West Broad Street and Glenwood Avenue (see attachment G). Small industries had existed in Franklinton since its founding. Parallel industrial development took place in Columbus, with early industrial enterprises located close to the central downtown at Broad and High.
Although Columbus was never the manufacturing center that other Ohio cities, such as Cleveland, were, it still had a sizeable and thriving industrial base, particularly after the Civil War. Downtown remained the location for industrial development into the late 1870s; however by the 1880s factories began to relocate away from downtown. "During this time, the location and nature of working places underwent a drastic shift. Downtown real estate in the area around Broad and High streets had become too expensive for factories. Industrialists followed the river north and the lines of the railroad tracks in all directions for building sites....By 1900, little heavy industry was left in the downtown area. Even light industries, such as the breweries, were moving." (Garrett-p.87) Franklinton saw a steady increase in development and population beginning around 1885.
Land was inexpensive on the west side of the Scioto River, largely due to periodic problems with flooding, but the availability of land in the bottoms was still attractive to industrialists who needed to move away centuries due to the arrival of the railroad. Historic survey maps such as Sanborn and Baist Property Atlases indicate that during this time period industrial development invaded the area near the new rail lines. The atlases also showed that commercial development expanded at Broad Street, and from downtown. "Building in Franklinton did increase dramatically in the late 19th and early 20th from the present terminus to the west corporation line. The west corporation line at this time was the NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev.
10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 4 Franklinton Rowhouse Apartments at Broad and Hawkes Franklin County, Ohio interspersed pockets of residential development resulted from the increased commercial and industrial growth in the area." (Franklinton Area Commission, p.1) A similar industrial boom was happening near the State Penitentiary. Although this industrial area was on the other side of the river, it was to the west of downtown and directly north of Franklinton. With improved transit available, the factories around the Penitentiary were now another source of employment for west side residents.
The largest of these factories was "the Columbus Buggy Company, which employed 1,100 men, produced a buggy every eight minutes and sold more than $2 million in goods in 1890 alone." (Garrett-p. 101) A study of the 1899 Baist Property Map shows that the industrial development in Franklinton was predominately concentrated in the eastern part of the neighborhood, where the railroad lines were located. Plan 4 of the Baist maps illustrates the area bounded by Davies (one block north of Broad), the river, Main Street on the south and Grubb Street on the west (the area to the east of today's Route 315). In addition to the West Side Side Market House, nine industries are indicated, including Crystal Ice Manufacturing, W.C. Goodman & Company Shoe Factory, Columbus Machine Company, and J.W. Brown Manufacturing Company.
Further to the west, Plan 9 shows the area between the river on the north, Grubb Street on the east, State Street on the south and Central Avenue on the west. A few areas had commercial development along West Broad Street. Commerce and industry were promoted in all areas of the city. Columbus had a Board of Trade at the turn of the century, plus nine other boards of trade specific to a given neighborhood, including a West Side Board of Trade that served the Franklinton area. 1898 and 1913 Floods The area west of the Scioto River had been subjected to numerous floods since the earliest pioneers settled there. Levees were constructed and improved throughout the 1800s in the Franklinton area to reduce the damage done by flooding.
After a significant flood in 1865, a 15-foot levee was built around most of the west side of the city, from the forks of the river south to what is now the Main Street bridge. Improvements were made over the next 30 years, but the levee was severely tested by the major flood of the Franklinton area was specifically mentioned: "A considerable portion of the populated part of the West Side of the city, probably not less than 800 acres, was completely flooded, and the inflowing waters finding a short cut through the lowest portion, swept across this section with a rapid current, from the river. (A photograph taken during the flood shows the building occupying the site before the current rowhouse was constructed, see attachment E).
1898.In a report on the March 23d1898 flood to the Director of Public Improvements of Columbus, industries are shown here including a sausage factory and the Hallwood Cash Register Company.Both The flood reached the corner of W.Broad Street and Hawkes Avenue approximately 16 blocks away doing a large amount of damage both personally and upon the municipality at large." (Alvord, p. 43) NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 5 Franklin County, Ohio "In the wake of the (1898) flood, a whole new round of prevention work was undertaken." (Lentz, "As It Were," p. 154) This included elevating the levees and railroad tracks of all five railroads crossing the levees were raised 6 feet above the high water mark of the flood.
The Great Flood of March, 1913, wreaked new havoc upon Franklinton when the levee broke north of downtown and put the entire west side of the city under as much as 26 feet of water. According to Lentz, 94 people were killed; the entire city was shut down for six days and the west side for six weeks. Franklinton was cut off from the city, as the Broad and Town Street bridges were destroyed and streetcar service was suspended for one month. The improvements that came out of this flood were significant, however, including replacement of the bridges, widening of the river to twice its width downtown, and construction of a new levee, 300 feet wide and 60 feet high.
With these changes, the west side continued to expand as the population moved beyond the Franklinton area: "In 1919 with millions spent in grade crossing elimination and other millions being spent in flood protection, the population has increased and spread to the hilltop and beyond where a handsome residential section has been created." (Hooper, p. 53) History and Context of the Broad and Hawkes Property The property at Broad and Hawkes meets Criterion A. for broad patterns of events. It represents the residential investment boom that was a response to increased industrial development, improved specifically Franklinton, under Criterion C. It is one of four large-scale, L-shaped apartment buildings apartment building was added to the neighborhood by 1910. The Broad and Hawkes property was built in 1900.
The two large apartment blocks placed in an L formation do not appear on the 1899 Baist Property map. Smaller individual buildings are shown at the intersection of Broad and Hawkes. Corresponding to this is the 1898 photograph showing the intersection during the March flood (attachment E). The current large apartment buildings are depicted on the 1901 Sanborn map in their current configuration. The property at Broad and Hawkes(lots 1,2 of the West Park Addition) was purchased by Hugh H. Carr on May 28, 1891 for $2500. Carr sold the property 6/8/1928 for $1.00 and other good and valuable contractor after 1903. Carr lived at 955 W. Broad until he built the present building, when he moved collar tenants, such as bartenders, tailors, salesmen, and drivers.
transportation systems, and civic infrastructure improvements on the west side during the late 19th National Park Service Columbus City Directories shows that these apartments were primarily occupied by working class/blue considerations.Carr is listed as a carpenter in the Columbus City Directory 1895-1903 and then as a Franklinton Rowhouse Apartments at Broad and Hawkes that were constructed at corner locations in Franklinton in the year 19oo.A fifth similar L-shaped century. It is also significant for its representation of an important property type in Columbus, and into one of the apartments. He is listed at 23 Hawkes Avenue in the 1901 city directory.

Investment in residential construction was also facilitated by the availability of streetcar transportation in the neighborhood and the civic infrastructure improvements that followed the city's 19th century floods.
The streetcars reached West Broad Street by 1875 and the lines were electrified by 1891. Throughout the 1890s additional electric streetcar lines were added on all the principal streets in Franklinton. As elsewhere in Columbus, the electric streetcar facilitated the movement of people throughout the city, giving residents more flexibility in deciding where to live without their work locations being the primary As noted above, great measures were taken to improve the levee system in Franklinton, thereby protecting people, homes, and businesses. As the railroads and levees were raised above the 1898 flood levels, there was a sense of confidence that the west side was now protected from further flood damage. This was reflected in the real estate speculation that was happening circa 1900.
In addition, there were other city infrastructure improvements at the turn of the century that made Franklinton more desirable for real estate development, including sanitation. "Until 1897, the sewers on the West Side had been constructed without system and with the same general idea of emptying everything into the river. In that year a system of separate storm and sanitary sewers was devised, all being later extended to the main sewage pumping station, ..." (Hooper, p. 121) The Baist Property Maps of 1899 and 1910 provide evidence of the residential boom in Franklinton during this period. The 1899 map shows a scattering of mostly frame single-family houses and duplexes, with a few brick rowhouses or small-scale apartment buildings located mostly on the streets off of West Broad Street.
By 1910, the area is a far more developed neighborhood with streetscapes of frame houses and both large-scale apartment buildings and smaller rowhouse structures. The year 1900 Real estate development in the neighborhood was cut short by the deadly and devastating flood of 1913, which slowed development. The Hilltop area further to the west became the favored location for construction after that time. A visual survey of Franklinton places its existing architecture from the period around the turn of the 20t* century. There is little residential or commercial development present from later decades of the 1900s. This is particularly true after the flood of 1959, which ultimately led to development restrictions in the neighborhood. Given subsequent flood related development problems, boom that Franklinton experienced circa 1900. deciding factor.
turn of the 2oh century.This followed the increase in industrial development on the west side during the was a particularly significant year, with four large-scale apartment buildings being constructed that year. the significant remaining large-scale apartment construction is especially illustrative of the residential NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page Z Franklinton Rowhouse Apartments at Broad and Hawkes Franklin County, Ohio of a defined property type in the Franklinton area of Columbus. While numerous apartment buildings and rowhouses are found in the historic neighborhoods of Columbus, the large-scale, L-shaped, corner apartment buildings are relatively unique to Franklinton.
One other known example exists at the corner of Kerr and Russell Streets in Italian Village, a late 1800s neighborhood north of downtown that is comprised of similar housing stock (Old North End Historic District, NR, 1996.) This property is similar to the Broad and Hawkes property in that it consists of two separate buildings in an L-plan that are visually joined by a freestanding wall with a pass through. The locations and appearance of the five Franklinton examples of this property type (only four are remaining) are shown in attachments A, B and C. In addition to the property at Broad and Hawkes (#1 (#2 on the map), the apartments at McDowell Street and West Chapel (#3 on the map), and the apartments at West Town Street and Hawkes Avenue (#5 on the map). Each of these four buildings is a separate street entrance.
Three of the buildings contain 11 residential units, while the building at McDowell and Chapel contains eight units. The property at Broad and Hawkes consists of two separate buildings connected by a freestanding wall, while the other three properties are comprised of a single L- shaped structure. The fifth example of this construction type is the Monticello Apartments, an impressive three-story corner apartment building containing nine flats on each floor that was located at the corner of West Broad and Jones Street (#4 on the map). It was destroyed by fire in 1992. Two of the four remaining buildings retain sufficient integrity for National Register listing as a reflection of the pattern of events that contributed to their construction and as examples of this property type.
These are the Castle building at State and May (see related National Register nomination) and the rowhouse apartment building at Broad and Hawkes. The other two remaining buildings, located at the corner of Chapel and McDowell and the corner of Town and Hawkes, do not retain sufficient integrity for National Register listing. In particular, the Chapel and McDowell building has been altered at the roofline and at the center gable, and the Town and Hawkes building has had its porches removed. In addition, the architectural character of these buildings is not as strong as the two nominated properties. The more traditional rectilinear apartments or rowhouses are also present in Franklinton. Most of them contain four to 10 units and are simple with modest architectural features. A few display craftsmanship and architecturally significant detailing.
Two good examples of this type are at 245-251 Grubb Street and 12-30 Glenwood Avenue. In comparison to these rowhouses, the L-shaped, corner apartment buildings are more substantial in scale, have a higher level of architectural detail, and visually dominate the neighborhood. The majority of houses in the Franklinton area are wood frame single family or Architectural Context their streetscapes.This is especially true when comparing these buildings to the overall housing stock of on the Franklinton map), the remaining buildings include the apartments at West State and May Avenue National Park Service The Franklinton Rowhouse Apartments at Broad and Hawkesmeets Criterion C as a good representative rowhouse-type structure with two primary facades at its corner location, with each apartment given a NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev.
