The Drury Mansion in Cleveland, Ohio was built in 1912. Originally a residence, it later became home to the Drury Club, a social club from 1939 to 1947. The 34 room 25,000 square foot mansion at 8615 Euclid Avenue was built for Francis Edison Drury (1850-1932), an industrial innovator and foundry owner. In 1925 he relocated to Cedar Hill Farm in Gates Mills, Ohio. That new home, a larger version of the Drury Mansion, is now part of Gilmour Academy. The original Drury Mansion became Crittenton Home, housing unwed mothers. It then served as a Reintegration Clinic until 1989 when the Cleveland Clinic acquired it for use as an event space and conference center. Meade & Hamilton was the architectural firm that designed it. Drury purchased the estate across the street and made it a formal garden with reflecting pools, pond, pagoda, and greenhouse. The Cleveland Play House was built on the site after it was donated by Drury. Drury was a Dartmouth graduate. Drury manufactured internal gear lawnmowers and kerosene stoves. He also established Cleveland Foundry Co. Drury had a son Herbert Remington Drury Sr. who became a geographer and educator.

Crawford-Tilden Apartments
Crawford-Tilden Apartments

The Crawford-Tilden Apartments are an apartment building on the eastern side of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Built to fit an unusual piece of land, it has been named a historic site. Constructed in 1908, the Crawford-Tilden Apartments were built according to a design by Burt Corning, an Irishman who was one of Cleveland's premier architects in the early twentieth century. The structure's exterior is brick with elements of stone and iron, including architectural elements such as pinnacles on the roof's parapet and bay windows along the walls in many locations. Its plan is shaped like the letter "V" culminating with a tip one bay wide; the tip includes such stylistic elements as Ionic columns and a pediment. Numerous details were included in the construction of each of the building's twenty apartments, none of which have experienced substantial change since their construction more than a century ago.Crawford-Tilden has been designated a landmark by the city of Cleveland, and in 1978 the complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for federal designation because of its architecture: it is among the best works of one of the most prominent architects in Cleveland's history, it prefigures the architectural styles of the Progressive Era, and it is one of the area's earliest garden apartment complexes. Despite its historic status, the building decayed near the end of the twentieth century, but it has seen new life: in 1997, the Ohio SHPO presented one of its annual Preservation Merit Awards to the city of Cleveland in general, the municipal Department of Community Development, and to a related foundation, as the three had collaborated to restore the property.

Calvary Presbyterian Church (Cleveland, Ohio)
Calvary Presbyterian Church (Cleveland, Ohio)

Calvary Presbyterian Church is a historic church located at 7812 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. The Presbyterian congregation was formed in 1880 as Calvary Chapel, a missionary offshoot of the Old Stone Church. The group began construction on a permanent building in August 1888. It was designed by famous local architect Charles F. Schweinfurth in the Victorian Romanesque Revival style. Work was completed and the church dedicated in early January 1890. The congregation became independent of the Old Stone Church in May 1892. The congregation was at first overwhelmingly white. A large influx of African Americans to Cleveland convinced the congregation to formally took a stand against racial segregation in 1953. Calvary Presbyterian became one of the first racially integrated congregations in Cleveland by reaching out to local Black residents. During the first decade of the new millennium, both Calvary Presbyterian and New Life Presbyterian Church in the Glenville neighborhood saw declining membership. The two congregations merged in June 2013, taking the name New Life at Calvary. In August 2023, a high-end EF1 tornado struck the Cleveland metropolitan area. The tornado struck New Life at Calvary, tearing the roof off the portion of the Fellowship Hall, which housed the church offices and classrooms. The roof over the sanctuary was also heavily damaged. Contractors said the Fellowship Hall had to have a completely new roof, and a new tongue and groove interior ceiling. Electrical and HVAC systems in the Fellowship Hall and sanctuary had to be replaced, the slate roofing over the sanctuary needed some replacing, and the spires and some stonework on the facade needed some restoration. The cost of many of the needed materials were higher than usual because of the historic nature of the building. There was also extensive water damage and asbestos and lead contamination throughout the structure. Total repair costs were estimated at $6 million to $6.5 million. New Life at Calvary's sanctuary was restored for use in March 2025. The building was added to the National Register in 1982. It is considered a historic Black church in Cleveland, and is a city-designated Cleveland Historic Landmark.
