Euclid Golf Neighborhood reveals in vintage images the excellent planning and history of one of the finest neighborhoods in the country. 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 and 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."

Euclid Golf,
This review is from: Euclid Golf Neighborhood (OH) (Images of America) (Paperback)
A very well done historical perspective of this development; was an offshoot of an application to get the area placed on the historic register.
