It is unusual for blending single-family homes, doubles, apartments and two commercial areas in many revival and Craftsman styles. Many buildings were designed by leading Cleveland architects, and most retain a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Euclid Heights is a district of about 300 acres, mostly in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, laid out along Mayfield, Coventry, Cedar and Overlook Roads. Development began in 1893 with a Tudor-style house on Overlook Road and continued until about 1930, when the allotment was substantially built out. The original plan favored large single-family homes, but after the developer lost financial control in 1914 and 1915 and deed restrictions were partly lifted, the area added double homes, grand apartment buildings and shops. Today it holds more than a thousand contributing buildings, with Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival houses predominating alongside Neoclassical, Craftsman and other styles. Many were designed by prominent Cleveland architects, and Walker and Weeks designed the former First Church of Christ, Scientist. The district was recognized for its unusual combination of housing types, commercial centers, architectural variety and a more diverse population than typical suburban allotments, along with its strong historic integrity.","period_of_significance":"1893-1930","architect_builder":"Various architects including Alfred Hoyt Granger, Arthur N.
