  • Dingman’s Hall

    106 Broadview Avenue

    Years after the late-Victorian building was designated as a heritage building in 1975, the conservation and adaptive reuse of the property was recognized with a 2017 Built Heritage Award nomination.

    Completed in 2016, this work sought to transition the building from a weekly hotel and adult entertainment venue into a hotel and community space. The conservation strategy for the site focused on rehabilitation and restoration to maintain key architectural features. An addition was also constructed and development plans featured street level commercial uses and public accessibility.

  • Dingman’s Hall

    106 Broadview Avenue

    Unsympathetic alterations such as the wood and false stone veneers were removed while designated heritage attributes, such as the terracotta panels, were carefully conserved. The restoration of the wood windows and metal cornices reinforces the characters and value of the south and east facades and tower. Overall, the Broadview Hotel’s conservation has diversified the public access to the site, and its conservation is the most visible manifestation of the area’s transformation from its ‘rough around the edges’ recent past into a lively destination.
