About this property

The Franklinton Apartments at Broad and Hawkes are a set of historic buildings in the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.

The two buildings are in an L-shaped plan and contain 22 apartments. The buildings are significant as they represent the neighborhood's residential investment following an industrial boom. They are one set of four L-shaped corner rowhouses built in Franklinton in 1900, and another was built in 1910. It is a defined property type relatively unique to the neighborhood, with only one other known example elsewhere in the city.
