  • Cleveland Architects Database
    Clevland Landmarks Commission Cleveland Architects Database The following is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, from the 1820’s until the 1930’s. Discovering which architects designed certain buildings was determined by utilizing several sources, including the City of Cleveland Building Permits, and publications that included American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. The Cleveland Public Library card index for Architect’s in the Fine Arts Department was used. Books on Cleveland Architecture that were consulted included Cleveland Architecture 1876 – 1976, and the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture were consulted. A catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society was consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were consulted in compiling this database. For the purposes of this database an architect was defined as anyone that called himself or herself as an architect. Robert Keiser compiled the Cleveland Architects as a hobby in after work hours over several years. This project terminates with 1930. Local building activity was severely curtailed by the Great Depression, and did not recover until the 1950’s. Many of the references in the database have

    Cleveland Architects Database The Cleveland Architects Database was envisioned as a comprehensive listing of Cleveland’s rich history of buildings and the architects who designed them. It provides an extensive look at the output of buildings in the careers of Cleveland’s architects to help us further recognize and evaluate their bodies of work, whether well-known or unheralded. A resource for architects, historians, planners, students, and property owners, the Database is a product of the Landmarks Commission’s mandate to conduct a continuous survey of Cleveland’s architectural heritage. The Database covers the history of Cleveland’s built environment, primarily up to the 1940s. It is our intention to expand the Database to include more buildings and architects from the latter half of the twentieth century. And though the focus of the Database is on architects from Cleveland and the work they produced, more entries will be added for architects from elsewhere who designed significant buildings here. The Database went online in June of 2008, and it continues to be updated, corrected, and refined. It is not a finished document, but rather a work in progress that will continue to grow and evolve. We welcome documented additions and corrections. Award In 2014, the Cleveland Restoration Society recognized former Landmarks Commission Secretary Robert Keiser and the Cleveland Architects Database with a Cultural Resource Award at the 2014 Celebration of Preservation. Acknowledgments Robert Keiser, who conducted research for the Commission from 1983 to 2014, and architectural historian Craig Bobby are the primary contributors to its compilation, research, and editing. Additional credit belongs to those who have contributed information over the years or whose research from other projects was incorporated into the Database.

  • The Keith Building, Cleveland, OH on the Cover
    Volume 17, No. 2–Spring 2004 • Official Publication of the Mid-Western Educational Research Association • The Keith Building, Cleveland, OH On the Cover The Keith Building, in downtown Cleveland, is an historic landmark that was born in the Age of Vaude- ville, erected in 1922. Connected to the Playhouse Square complex and the Palace Theater, it has hosted the likes of Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Bill Robinson, Harry Houdini and more. Because of space needs at Cleve- land State University, the Keith Building is now hosting several floors of University operations, including The Reading First—Ohio Center for Professional Development and Technical Assistance in Effective Reading Instruction, a collaborative effort of Cleveland State University, John Carroll University, and the Univer- sity of Akron. The Center is being funded by a six-year federal grant to provide professional development and technical assistance to districts and schools that have been awarded Reading First grants to improve reading achievement in grades K-3. Working with district coordinators, school principals, literacy special- ists and teachers within the awarded districts, the Center’s mission is to provide professional development to teachers and principals in sound teaching practices based upon the scientifically-based reading research (SBRR). Teachers will be trained to use SBRR principles and strategies in daily 120-minute literacy blocks; principals will be provided workshops to help them to support SBRR practices in their schools and techni- cal assistance to facilitate planning and development of an effective core reading program and complemen- tary support services for children at risk of reading failure. In its first year, the Center will work with 12 districts and 65 schools state-wide; this represents over 20,000 children and over 1,000 teachers.
