The Tudor Revival semi-detached and single-family homes were built mostly between 1929 and 1933.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as a planned community from the late 1920s, laid out by landscape architect A. Donald Gray with architects Antonio DiNardo and H.O. Fullerton. It is significant locally for architecture, community planning and landscape architecture. Its English hamlet design, with attached houses close to the street and living areas facing a wooded ravine, set it apart from other Cleveland-area planned developments.","narrative":"Fairhill Road Village is a group of thirteen houses along Fairhill Road, on the line between Cleveland and Cleveland Heights, designed to resemble an English hamlet. Built mostly between 1929 and 1933, the semi-detached and single-family homes use stucco and sandstone, slate roofs, diamond-paned and casement windows, varied gables and large chimneys in a Tudor Revival manner. Garages face the street, while living rooms and patios look over the wooded Ambler Park ravine. Landscape architect A. Donald Gray conceived the development with architect Antonio DiNardo, who left in 1929 and was replaced by Harold O. Fullerton. The site was a rock dump left from the Fairmount Reservoir excavation. Unlike Shaker Heights and Forest Hills, it used attached houses with shallow setbacks and kept the existing natural landscape. Residents included Gray, Fullerton and the founders of Karamu House. One house from 1971 is the only noncontributing building.","period_of_significance":"1929-1933","architect_builder":"Fullerton, H.O.; Gray, A.
