Milton Dyer.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is significant for its history as a social organization, for its architecture, and as one of Cleveland's important social clubs built on Prospect Avenue near the turn of the century. Its design, chosen in a competition, mixes Northern Renaissance and Arts and Crafts elements. The club served the wealthy residents of Prospect and Euclid Avenues.","narrative":"Tavern Club is a four-story brick clubhouse at 3522 Prospect Avenue in Cleveland, completed in 1905 for a private social club founded in 1892 by prominent sportsmen and socialites. Architect J. Milton Dyer won the commission in a competition that also included designs by Frank Meade and Abram Garfield. The building combines Northern Renaissance and Arts and Crafts features. Its most noticeable element is a tall two-story roof with one giant gable and four smaller ones, while the plain walls and window arrangement of the lower floors reflect the Arts and Crafts side of the design. The walls are laid in Flemish bond, the entrance faces East 36th Street, and the interior is dark wood paneling around a central hall. A triple Tiffany stained glass staircase window, salvaged from a demolished mansion, is visible from the west side. The club is noted as one of the significant social organization buildings along Prospect Avenue and as a work of Dyer.","period_of_significance":"1905","architect_builder":"J.
