🏛️ 100 Years of Broadway Building: A Perfect Sky for a Perfect Comeback!

☀️ Look at this beautiful scene. Bright blue skies. Sunlight pouring down on the corner of West Erie Avenue and Broadway. And there, standing proud once again, is the Broadway Building, fully reopened and reborn as the Ariel Broadway Hotel.

🕧 Just eight years earlier, in 2015, this same building was a heartbreaking sight, missing signs, old curtains hanging in top windows, its facade crumbling and held up by protective nets to keep pedestrians safe. Empty. Forgotten. Falling apart.

🚧 The restoration that began in earnest in 2019 had transformed the old landmark. New windows gleamed. The Beaux‑Arts facade was repaired and restored. The protective nets were gone, and on this gorgeous April day, the essence was captured so many of us felt: relief, pride, and joy.

❤️ Now, in 2026, we celebrate 100 years. From its grand opening in 1926, with a bowling alley, upscale restaurant, and government offices, through its dark days of vacancy, to this moment of brilliant sunshine and new life: the Broadway Building has completed a full century.

🔥 Today, it's the Ariel Broadway Hotel. Home to Broadway Grill & Games, The Anchor Lorain, Lolipop's Gift Shop, Main Street Lorain Development/ Lorain Growth, Skinwork Bar and Devoted Homecare Lorain. Also a place for 4th floor / rooftop gatherings, wedding celebrations, and overnight stays. A landmark that almost didn't make it, but did.

📸 Thank you, Allen Bender, for this wonderful photo. And thank you, Lorain, for never giving up on this corner. (Photo by Allen Bender, April 27, 2023)
