Plan Filed to Remodel 16-Unit Bryden Road Historic District Apartment Building
Peter Stevens submits a Certificate of Appropriateness application for extensive interior and exterior renovations at 939 Bryden Road.
A proposal to renovate a 16-unit apartment building at 939 Bryden Road in the Bryden Road Historic District has been submitted to the City of Columbus for historic review.
According to municipal permit records, applicant Peter Stevens filed Certificate of Appropriateness application COA2600889 for a comprehensive interior and exterior remodel of the property. The filing describes the property as an older structure in the historic district that has received limited maintenance over the years. Stevens stated in the application that the property will remain a 16-unit apartment complex, with a goal of completing the renovation work by the end of the year.
The proposed scope of work includes substantial interior and exterior updates. Inside, plans call for new plumbing, new electrical wiring run into units, interior painting, and new flooring, cabinets, appliances, toilets, and sinks across all 16 units. Outside, the application outlines replacement windows, new doors on access points, modern secured fencing, an installed security system, and repaving the parking lot.
The city lists the application's review status as in progress as staff evaluates the proposed exterior modifications for compliance with Bryden Road Historic District architectural guidelines. The public filing does not disclose current tenant occupancy, anticipated rental rates following construction, or whether the exterior alterations will require a hearing before the Columbus Historic Resources Commission rather than administrative staff approval.
