The Broadmoor-Once Upon A Time and Still Here Today
My grandfather, Roger Louis Calvert, was the first manager of The Broadmoor Apartment Building on Connecticut Avenue when it opened in 1929 which was a long way from the farm he grew up on outside of Meridian, Missisissippi. Here is a clipping from the Washington Post:
Today the Broadmoor is a modern co-op, but still has the details of grandeur. A friend of mine is a current resident and is looking to gather history about it. Recently she found out about another restaurant there (pre-1948) called The Marguery.
