The house was expanded with Spanish Eclectic additions in 1929 and 1935.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a highly personal, unusual blend of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture with Spanish Eclectic additions, reflecting its owner's interest in design. It is also tied to Richard L. Cawood, an important East Liverpool industrialist and head of Patterson Foundry. It is described as a locally outstanding example of Spanish Eclectic residential architecture.","narrative":"Set on a rise at 2600 St. Clair Avenue in East Liverpool, this six-acre estate centers on a stucco house with a red Spanish tile roof, built in 1923-24 in the Italian Renaissance Revival manner. Its owner, Richard L. Cawood, rose from a foundry worker earning 83 cents a day to president of Patterson Foundry, a major local industry. He had a lifelong interest in architecture, and over about a dozen years he reshaped the house. A rear wing and loggia came in 1929. In 1935 he added a round tower twenty feet in diameter, a porte cochere, a courtyard and a chapel, which turned the home's focus from the north to the west. The tower holds a stained-glass conservatory and a bedroom with a frescoed dome. A carriage house with servants' quarters and a brick stable/garage complete the grounds. The property was listed for its unusual architecture and its link to Cawood.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Richard L. Cawood; Peterson & Clark (1929); Livingston, J.W.
