Broad Street Studios 1, 2, 3 – UGA 766 (1955, renovated 2002; Category 3) and UGA 767–768 (1949, renovated 2002; Category 3). The Broad Street Studios are a series of three one-story commercial buildings located on the south side of West Broad Street between Florida and South Hull streets. Constructed in 1949 and 1955, the buildings were acquired by the UGA Real Estate Foundation and renovated in 2002. Studio 1 at 225 West Broad Street is occupied by the Center for Community Design and Preservation. Studios 2 and 3 at 255-287 West Broad Street are occupied by the Lamar Dodd School of Art, including the Drawing and Painting and Interior Design studios.
The three commercial buildings have painted brick exteriors from which all former signage has been removed. The buildings have large windows openings facing Broad Street, each with a different configuration; all windows and doors were replaced during renovation. The interiors feature large open spaces used as studios and have been completely renovated. Despite renovation, the exteriors of the buildings retain a fair degree of historic integrity with respect to their form, brickwork, and window openings. The building is assessed as Category 3.
