Houses were to be single-family, architect designed, and no two alike. Prominent and lesser-known Cleveland architects produced homes in Shingle, Colonial Revival, Tudor, French, Beaux Arts and Italian Renaissance styles.","narrative":"Inglewood is a wooded residential neighborhood in Cleveland Heights, north of Mayfield Road between Taylor and Warrensville Roads. The Shaker Heights Improvement Company, led by the Van Sweringen brothers, bought the land from Charles Pack in 1920 and developed it as Subdivision #4. F.A. Pease Engineering Company platted it in a horseshoe shape with curving streets and lots of varied size, some over two acres. Eighty-one lots were first laid out, and eight more were added along Quilliams Road in 1923. The same deed covenants used in Shaker Heights applied: single-family houses only, each designed by an architect, with no two exactly alike. Cleveland firms and architects such as Howell and Thomas, Walker and Weeks, Bloodgood Tuttle and Best and Hoefler designed homes in Shingle, Colonial Revival, Georgian, Tudor, French and Italian Renaissance styles. Most houses have attached garages that are generally hidden from the street. The district includes 78 contributing and 8 noncontributing buildings, and the neighborhood remains in residential use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Many Cleveland architects, including Howell and Thomas, Walker and Weeks, Charles Schneider, Bloodgood Tuttle, Best and Hoefler, George Johnston, Henry R.
