Broadmoor Apartments Demolished


Recommended Posts

Even though the building was on the Galveston Historical Society at risk list, the owner's of the building said it was too far gone to save. New federal flood level elevations have also made restoration almost impossible. The building at 29th and Broadway was built in 1921 and was designed by architect Joseph Finger.

The owner had been searching for a way to tear them down for several years, Ike gave him the excuse. There is a lot being torn down (and businesses moving away) using the "Ike" excuse.
