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 not been researched. Craig Bobby has researched many of the references and has 

provided the Landmarks Commission with photographs.

Biography: Frederick Baird was born in Bangor, Maine, but came to Cleveland with his family at the age of three. He was a graduate 

of West High School in Cleveland. After graduation he went to work in the office of Charles Schweinfurth, as he pursued 

his studies for three and a half years. He later went to work for Coburn & Barnum and then became foreman and designer 

for Lehman and Schmitt. While with that firm he designed many residences, courthouses and other buildings throughout 

the country. He married Mamie Zangerle, the sister of county auditor John A. Zangerle. In 1898 he set up an office in the 

American Trust Building. A motto taken from Longfellow hung over his desk: 

"In the older days of art. Builders wrought with greatest care, Each minute and unseen part, For the gods see everywhere." 

He designed a wide variety of structures, including houses, terraces, apartments, and commercial buildings. He designed the 

Salvation Army Citadel Building; the first reinforced concrete constructed building in Ohio. He submitted two drawings 

for the proposed Forest City Savings Bank Building on the corner of West 25th Street and Detroit Avenue, although neither 

of his designs was chosen. Steffens, Searles & Hirsh eventually won the contract. His most famous building is St. 

Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Tremont. He was a member of the Cleveland Architectural Club. In 1917 he 

made a trip to Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea and Manchuria. He died on February 16, 1920 of cancer and is buried in 

Lake View Cemetery.

Biography: Fenimore C. Bate was born in Cleveland. He first appears in the 1876-7 Cleveland City Directory as a draftsman working 

for architect Walter Blythe. In 1883, he was a draftsman and, the following year, an architect for the Cleveland Water 

Works Department. By 1885 he was in business for himself as an architect. He was the architect of numerous houses for 

the middle and upper middle classes as well as of commercial buildings at a time when Cleveland's population was 

booming. His works were well documented in the architectural journals of the time. Several significant examples of Batedesigned 

Queen Anne houses survive. These include the Schellentrager House (built 1893), 690 Lakeview Road; the Henry 

Trenkamp House (1894-5), 1905 East 89th Street; and the Latham Brightman House, now the Holmes County Historical 

Society (1901) in Millersburg, Ohio. His houses were built throughout Cleveland, northeast Ohio cities and towns, 

including Fremont and Toledo, and Indianapolis, Indiana. An article in the March 17, 1888 "Cleveland Town Topics" 

magazine said that Bate-designed homes "all show a refreshing departure from the stereotyped styles of a few years ago". 

He is best known as the architect of the Romanesque Revival-style Cleveland Grays Armory (1893), 1234 Bolivar Road. 

He was also a member of the Cleveland Grays. 

Later in his career he designed more tenement or apartment buildings, a popular building type in turn-of-the-century 

Cleveland. Architect Edward E. Smith was a draftsman who worked for Fenimore Bate from 1889 until 1894. Throughout 

Bate's career he designed commercial and industrial buildings. The Megerth Block (1892-3), 8620 - 6 Cedar Avenue, and 

the addition to the Standard Lighting Building (1895), 4419-37 Perkins Avenue, are two extant commercial-industrial use 

buildings designed by Bate. He was also the architect of several hotels and hotel additions, though apparently none of those 

survive. There is an article in the September 22, 1900 issue of the "Interstate Architect" that states that Bate was injured in 

an accident in his office where he dropped a battery with acid striking him in the face and neck causing him temporary 

blindness. After a period of failing health, Fenimore Bate died on June 27, 1903 at the age of forty six of apoplexy at home 

in his New Amsterdam apartment. He was buried in Lake View Cemetery. He left his estate to his wife Helen, including 

property that he owned on East 20th Street occupied by the Fenimore Apartments.

Building List 


Birth/Established: 1857 Death/Disolved: May 15, 1935 

Biography: W. Dominick Benes was born in Prague, Austrian Empire and was ethnically Bohemian. His family immigrated to 

America in 1866, first settling in Chicago and then moving to Cleveland. He was educated in the public schools of Prague 

and Cleveland. He went to work for his uncle architect Jon V. Benes of Chicago. After returning to Cleveland he worked 

for Andrew Mitermiler from 1873 to 1876. He went on to work for the firm of Coburn and Barnum. He later became a 

partner in the firm of Coburn, Barnum and Benes that eventually became Coburn, Barnum, Benes and Hubbell. After 

Forrest Coburn's death, Hubbell and Benes formed their own partnership. He was Jeptha H. Wade III's personal architect. 

He had designed the interior of the Wade yacht, and the music room of the Wade home at Euclid and East 40th Street. That 

relationship eventually led to the commissions for the Wade Memorial Chapel at Lakeview Cemetery, the Wade Residences 

in the Wade Allotment and Gates Mills, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He retired to an estate on North Miles Road 

overlooking the Chagrin River Valley where he devoted himself to his hobby flower culture. He died in the Cleveland 

Clinic and was cremated. (see Hubbell & Benes)

Biography: Walter Blythe was born in Leeds, England. He came to America at the age of thirteen in 1849 and located in Cleveland

stone-cutter from his father-in-law. He later became a draftsman and then an architect. He was a veteran of the Forty-first 

Ohio Volunteers regiment during the Civil War. Immediately after the war, from 1866 to 1871, he was a partner in the firm 

of Heard and Blythe. In 1871 he went into business for himself. He was the president of the Board of Water Works. All of 

his work was built before the issuance of building permits by the City of Cleveland (1888), thus making it unidentifiable. 

He lived at the edge of the city at Kinsman Road and East 40th Street. He was the architect of many important commercial 

and governmental buildings built during the High Victorian era.

Biography: Forrest Amos Coburn was born in Lowell, Massachusetts. He moved to Cleveland's West Side with his parents at the age 

of fourteen. He worked as a bookkeeper for the firm of Woods, Perry and Company lumber dealers after high school. He 

developed a talent for architecture while working for that firm. From 1868 to 1871 he worked for architect Joseph Ireland, 

then in the office of architect Walter Blythe. He then went to New York to complete his study of architecture where he 

worked in the office of Richard Morris Hunt. He returned to Cleveland in 1877 and went into partnership with Frank S. 

Barnum in 1878. They were a very successful firm; the vast majority of their work was residential. They were also the 

architects of several churches in Cleveland and surrounding communities, including a large number of Congregational 

Churches. These included the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church at 9606 Euclid Avenue (1887), the Franklin Avenue 

Congregational Church at 5720 Franklin Boulevard (1883), and the Olivet Baptist Church, as well as several buildings for 

Case Tech and Western Reserve University, and commercial buildings. He was secretary of the Civil Engineer's club and a 

member of the veteran's society of Troop A. His death was brought on by over work. He was sick the last four months of 

his life. At the time of his death he lived at 6016 Franklin. 

Coburn and Barnum 


Biography: Coburn and Barnum was one of the most important architectural firms in late 19th century Cleveland. They designed over 

twenty houses along Euclid Avenue's Millionaires Row, several buildings for Case Institute of Technology, Western 

Reserve University, and Oberlin College, and large commercial buildings including the Blackstone Power Block. They 

designed several churches including the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, the Franklin Avenue Congregational 

Church, the Olivet Baptist Church, and Trinity Baptist Church. Beyond Cleveland they had commissions in Oberlin, 

Delaware, and Ashland, Ohio, and Palm Beach, Florida. The office staff included Benjamin Hubbell, W. Dominck Benes, 

John Edelmann, Albert Skeel, Frank Hall, and Herbert Briggs. The firm would become Coburn, Barnum and Benes, when 

W. Dominick Benes was made partner, and became Coburn, Barnum, Benes, and Hubbell when Benjamin Hubbell became 

a partner. The firm dissolved when Forrest Coburn died in 1897. Several of the firm's architectural plans can be found at 

the Western Reserve Historical Society library.

Biography: Frank Cudell was born in Aix la Chapelle, Germany. He studied architecture there and left Germany in 1866, initially 

settling in New York, working in the office of architect Leopold Eidlitz. He came to Cleveland in 1867 where he worked in 

the offices of local architects. In 1871 he opened his own office, soon forming a partnership with J.N. Richardson under the 

name of Cudell & Richardson. He was naturalized as an American citizen on June 22, 1871. In 1878 he invented a sewer 

gas trap. In 1890, because of his health, he turned his interest in the business over to Richardson. He remained active in 

civic affairs, presenting an alternative to the Group Plan. In 1902 he proposed building a city hall on Public Square. He 

filed a lawsuit against the City regarding the selection of J. Milton Dyer as the architect for Cleveland City Hall. He 

bequeathed his entire estate to the City, after the death of his widow in 1937, including his home that has become Cudell 

Recreation Center, two apartment buildings on West Boulevard, and shares of Cleveland Railway stock. The Cudell clock 

tower was erected as a memorial to him in 1917. 

Cudell and Richardson 


Biography: Cudell and Richardson was active from 1871 to 1890. This firm designed commercial buildings and residences during the 

height of the Victorian era. It also designed several churches in Cleveland and surrounding communities, several of which 

had strong German congregations. It is best remembered for its large commercial buildings. These included the Root & 

McBride Building (1884), the George Worthington Company Building (1882), the Perry Payne Building (1889), the 

Beckmann Building (1888), and B.S. Hippler's Block.

Biography: George J. Hardway was active in Cleveland from 1887 until 1905. He was a partner of Ora Williams from 1889 to 1891. 

The largest share of his work was on residences although he would occasionally design industrial or commercial buildings. 

He had also designed houses in Seattle, Washington and Odebolt, Iowa. From the buildings that we know he designed, his 

homes were often simpler in design. He avoided the Queen Anne style that was prevalent at the time. In 1892 he and 

Charles Tousley were the editors and publishers of the American Builder. He left Cleveland in 1905 for New York City, 

where he had an office at 347 Fifth Avenue and lived in Great Neck on Long Island. He died at Great Neck in 1929 at the 

age of seventy-one.

Biography: Charles W. Heard was born in Onondaga, New York. He settled in Painesville and learned the carpentry trade. He married 

Carolyn Goldsmith, daughter of Master Builder Jonathan Goldsmith in 1830. They moved to Cleveland in 1833, about the 

time the Ohio and Erie Canal opened and Cleveland experienced its first substantial population and economic growth. It 

soon passed Painesville in population and opportunity. The first city directory in Cleveland in 1837 lists Charles Heard as a 

carpenter and joiner. The 1845 directory listed him as a Master Builder. In 1846 and 1847 he was in partnership with 

carpenter Warham Warner. The 1850 City Directory shows him in the firm of Heard and Porter, architects and builders. 

That partnership lasted until 1864. He formed a partnership with his son-in-law Walter Blythe that lasted from 1866 to 

1871. From 1871 to the end of his life in 1876 he was the principle in the firm of Heard and Sons, when his sons Lucas 

Allen and Charles W. Heard Jr. joined the firm. He was active in the community serving as a member of the Board of 

Education and the Board of Alderman. 

He lived at 32 Euclid Street. His wife Caroline died on January 9, 1851. They had eight children; the youngest, Lucas 

Allen, was five when she died. By 1870 the census showed that his real estate was valued at $80,000 and that his seven 

adult children and two servants were living with him on Euclid Avenue. He died in 1876 leaving the unmarried children 

use of his home for seven years.

Biography: John J. Husband was born in Virginia. He was listed as a builder and architect from 1844 until 1853 in Philadelphia City 

Directories. He appears in Cleveland City Directories as an architect from 1853 to 1861. Charles C. Miller worked as a

an architect and civil engineer in Baltimore. He had returned to work in Cleveland in 1865. According to newspaper 

accounts after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln, Husband was overheard in a conversation. A gentleman said 

that the assasination was perfectly horrible. Husband replied, "Some might think so; others might not. For my part I think 

it a damned small loss." Because of the remarks he was roughed up by a mob. His name was chipped away from the 

cornerstone of the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. He returned to live in Baltimore where he was still living in 1890.

Biography: Wilm Knox and John Eliot moved to Toronto from Chicago in 1888 with an office at 15 Victoria Street. E. Beaumont 

Jarvis joined the firm In Toronto where it was known as Knox, Eliot & Jarvis. The firm won the competition for the design 

of the Richardsonian Romanesque Confederation Life office building in 1889. They also competed for and lost the 

competition for the Toronto Board of Trade. Knox & Eliot moved to Cleveland 1893. A May 22, 1902 Plain Dealer article 

highlighted the firm's designs for manufacturing plants. The firm is remembered for its office buildings with Sullivanesque 

ornamentation, including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Rockefeller, and Standard Buildings. These buildings 

contrasted with the prevalent Beaux-Arts and Neo Classic style buildings of the day.

Henry E Meyer 


Biography: Henry E. Myer was born in Buffalo, New York. In 1850 he was living in Ashland County, Ohio with master builder Ozias 

Kinney, working as a carpenter. Kinney had commissions for the Ashland and Crawford County Courthouses. He began 

work as a draftsman in 1866 in Cleveland. He formed a two-year partnership with Eugene Holmes. In Cleveland he 

designed the Ryder Photographic Gallery, Broadway Mills, the Broadway Opera House, and Heil's Block. He designed 

several county courthouses throughout Ohio. In the 1880 census he was living at the Northern Ohio Lunatic Asylum. He 

died at the age of 44 in 1881. Myer's career happened before Cleveland required building permits (1888), so there is little 

evidence of his work in Cleveland.

Birth/Established: 1892 Death/Disolved: Present 

Biography: Osborn Engineering Company, Cleveland's oldest engineering firm, was founded on July 1, 1892, by Frank C. Osborn, 

formerly the chief engineer for Cleveland's King Bridge Co. Osborn's new company offered a wide range of services, 

including the designs, plans, estimates, and construction supervision for roofs, buildings bridges, railways, and highways. 

Such diversity enabled the Osborn Co.- Civil Engineers to survive the severe economic depression of the 1890s. It was 

incorporated on May 16, 1900, as the Osborn Engineering Company. During its first 4 decades, Osborn built its reputation 

as the "stadium designers for the Nation". By the time of its selection as the project engineer for Cleveland Municipal 

Stadium in 1928, the company had designed more than 75 sports facilities, including New York's Yankee Stadium, 

Boston's Fenway Park, and Chicago's Comiskey Park. Osborn has continued to design stadiums, working on projects for 

professional sports teams, major universities, racetracks, fairgrounds, high schools, and municipalities. As early as 1959, 

Osborn Engineering had completed a design for domed stadiums. In 1958, the company was looking for a broader market 

for its services, particularly as domestic industrial construction and plant expansion decreased. It turned its attention toward 

domestic firms that were expanding their operations into international markets. The company designed factories for 

locations in South Africa, France, Saudi Arabia, and South America. This expansion enabled Osborn to recover from a 

postwar decline; in 1963 it began hiring additional employees. Business remained strong throughout the 1960s. As 

engineering became more competitive in the 1970s, Osborn expanded its range of services by forming partnerships. In 

1971 it created Osborn Engineers Architects & Planners, and in 1974 both Osborn Co. Architects-Engineers and Osborn 

Co. Consulting Engineers. The company remains based in Cleveland with offices in the Penton Media Building.

remained throughout the rest of his life. From 1883 to 1886 he maintained an office with his brother Julius until Julius 

returned to practice in Boston. In Cleveland he was the architect of many of the Euclid Avenue mansions and was also 

noted for interior designs that included Old Stone Church and the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. In addition, he was the 

architect of several buildings for Western Reserve and Kenyon colleges. He was a founder and member of the Cleveland

Architect and Building News". He had an honorary M.A. degree from Kenyon College and was a member of the Union 

Club. Initially his office was in the Blackstone Building however he moved to the New England Building upon its 

completion in 1896. He first resided on Cedar Avenue and then at 96 Arlington Street (now 2269 East 49th Street). He 

built a home that he designed in 1894 at 1951 East 75th Street. His brothers Julius and H.G. Schweinfurth owned a firm in

Biography: Levi Tucker Schofield was born in Cleveland and was raised in a home on Euclid Avenue near East 9th Street. His family 

later operated the Prospect Place Hotel on the site after which it became the location of the Scofield Building, which he 

designed. Levi Scofield attended Cleveland public schools, pursuing the study of architecture and engineering. At some 

point, he dropped the "H" from his name. In 1860 he moved to Cincinnati. He served in the Ohio 113th Infantry, rising in 

the rank to First Lieutenant and Captain. He wrote "The Retreat from Pulaski to Nashville, Battle of Franklin, Tennessee - 

November 30, 1864" which was published in 1909. After the war he returned to Cleveland and in 1867, he married 

Elizabeth Clark, who was prominent in local society and philanthropic circles. She was president of the YWCA, the Phyllis 

Wheatley Association, and organized the Cleveland Vocal Society. 

Levi Scofield is remembered as the architect of large Victorian era institutions that included the Assylum for the Insane in 

Athens and Columbus, the North Carolina Penitentiary, the Ohio Penitentiary in Mansfield, and the Cleveland House of 

Corrections. His firm designed five Cleveland Public Schools between 1869 and 1883. He devoted seven and a half years, 

without compensation, to the Cuyahoga County Soldiers and Sailors Monument, and contributed over $57,000 of its total 

cost. He was the first Cleveland architect taken into membership in the American Institute of Architects and was a friend 

and golfing partner of John D. Rockefeller. 

Scofield was the sculptor of "These are my Jewels" Civil War Monument installed at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago 

in 1893, later moved to the grounds of the Ohio State Capitol. The Scofield Office Building on the southwest corner of 

Eucild and East 9th Street, built in 1900, was built on the Scofield homestead and was originally owned by Levi Scofield. 

He had two sons, William Marshall Scofield (1868 - 1942) and Sherman Wright Scofield (1876 - 1942) who became 

members of his architectural firm. The Scofields were members of First Baptist Church and were buried in Lake View 

Cemetery.
