In 1943, Mr. Garrison Munger, Sr. purchased the building. It remained in his family's ownership until 1981. It is currently owned by Tower Investment Company and Oklahoma partnership. The building is the tallest in Enid at 14 stories tall. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985.

The Broadway Tower currently houses the East Village Lounge: Cigars and Jazz, a dentist office and hotel rooms under construction.[1]

After a fire destroyed the original Garfield County Courthouse, the Broadway Tower became a temporary courthouse location from 1932-1936.[2]
