Deming on former Euclid Club golf links land once leased from John D. Rockefeller.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is a highly cohesive early 20th century planned community of architect-designed homes, laid out on Garden City principles around a landscaped boulevard. Deed restrictions and design review by Howell & Thomas Architects produced consistent scale, setbacks and high-quality materials. It is significant under Criterion A for community planning and development and Criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"Euclid Golf is a residential neighborhood of roughly 142 acres in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, platted in 1913 by developer Barton R. Deming. The land had been leased by John D. Rockefeller to the Euclid Club for its upper nine golf holes. Fairmount Boulevard, a curving main street built around a streetcar line with a grassy median, anchors the plan, and side streets curve gently off it in keeping with Garden City ideas. Deed restrictions governed setbacks, minimum construction costs and prohibited uses, and Howell & Thomas Architects approved designs for houses, garages and landscaping. Every home was architect-designed, in styles ranging from Shingle and Arts & Crafts to Tudor, Colonial and other European Revivals. Most of the 432 buildings date from 1913 to 1929, and brick, stone, stucco, wood and slate or tile roofs give the area a consistent character. The district was listed for its architecture and its role in community planning and development.","period_of_significance":"1913-1950","architect_builder":"Barton R.
