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 where he grew up outside of Meridian, Missisissippi. Here is a clipping from the Washington Post:
Today the Broadmoor is a modern co-op, but still retains details of a grander time. A friend of mine is a current resident and historian. Recently she found out about a pre-1948 restaurant called The Margery, but she is looking for more information.
If you have any stories or memories, please write me or leave a comment below.
Hello! Are you reachable beyond your blog? The Broadmoor is celebrating its 90th anniversary. We have a website and would like to post information about your grandfather.
