The Euclid Golf Neighborhood was known as one of
the finest residential neighborhoods in the United
States when it was developed in the early 20th
century. Euclid Golf was built on land owned by John
D. Rockefeller, who lent it to the Euclid Club for its
golf course. Developer Barton R. Deming employed
Garden City principles and deed restrictions to entice
the elite of Cleveland, while architects Howell &
Thomas, Charles Schneider, and others designed
splendid houses in the revival styles that defined
gracious living. As prominent Clevelanders made their
homes in Euclid Golf, Fairmount Boulevard became
known as The Euclid Avenue of the Heights.
Authors Deanna L. Bremer and Hugh P. Fisher
uncovered many historic photographs of Euclid Golf
while researching their own Euclid Golf homes, and in
an attic they found the original drawings from
architects Howell & Thomas. Their work has resulted
in Euclid Golf's listing in the National Register of
Historic Places and the publishing of a new book:
Euclid Golf Neighborhood. Come learn the
story of Euclid Golf, see the images they uncovered,
and get your copy of their new book signed.
Appletree Books will have book for sale at
the lecture.
Reservations are required. Admission is free, but
seating for the presentation is limited to 50 people.
Call 216-291-4878 to reserve your seat.
Parking is available at the Cumberland Pool parking
lot. Handicapped and special needs parking is
provided at the Schoolhouse.
