Their brick and stone construction, large porches and grand entrances set them apart from nearby frame houses. They also show how the area filled in as a dense urban neighborhood between 1900 and 1929, and they add a multi-family and retail component to the existing district.","narrative":"Thirteen buildings along the south side of Detroit Avenue in Cleveland's Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood were added to an existing historic district. Most are three-story or two-story brick apartment buildings from about 1910 to 1920, with large porches, monumental entrances and flat-type units that run front to back. Colonial Revival is the dominant style. The Muriel at 7001-03 Detroit is a Spanish Colonial Revival example from 1924, and the corner building at 7405 Detroit has a crenellated parapet in a Tudor Revival manner. The oldest building, at 6933 Detroit, is the only single-family house. Taller and built of brick and stone, these buildings contrast with the frame houses around them. They show a stage in Cleveland apartment design, with rear recesses for light and air, fire walls and rear stairs as a second exit. The period of significance runs from about 1900 to 1929, when the neighborhood was fully developed. Later postwar commercial buildings were left outside the boundary.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1900-1929","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian and Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals, chiefly Colonial Revival, with Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival examples","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"All 13 buildings are counted as contributing.
