Cleveland Architect Database

The Cleveland Architects Database is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, since the 1820s and the buildings they designed here and abroad up to and including the 1970s. Sources include City of Cleveland Building Permits, professional publications including American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. Additional source material reviewed at the Cleveland Public Library Fine Arts Department, various books on Cleveland architecture, the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture and a catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society were consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were reviewed in compiling accompanying biographies.

For this database, an architect is defined as anyone that identified himself or herself as an architect. Generally, these people had an office in the city or designed multiple structures here or in the immediate surrounding cities. This project began as a hobby by Robert Keiser over several years. Craig Bobby has researched many of the entries and donated photographs of those buildings. This is an ongoing project and will be updated on a regular basis. PLEASE NOTE: All entries have not been fully researched and require citations. Please confirm any unsourced entry

Biography

George Kauffman was born in Manchester, Ohio and later moved to nearby Canton. Canton City Directories list him as a carpenter and later as an architect. He moved to Cleveland in 1897. His firm, the Kaufmann Architectural Company, was best known for ornate houses that bridged the Victorian era and Revival styles that were popular in the early 20th century. Concentrations of these houses are found in the Superior Park Subdivision, along Linwood Avenue in Cleveland, and on Cohassett Avenue in Lakewood. He worked with several developers including Clark and Benton, George Graham, and Bernard Schatzinger. Kauffman's later houses lacked the distinctiveness of his earlier homes. He died in Cleveland two weeks after an automobile accident in April 1940 and was buried in Forest Hill Cemetery in Canton.

He later would form various partnerships with Richard Van Rensselaer, Antonio DiNardo, and Adrian Foose. He was listed as a registered architect in the November 1940 Ohio Architect. His office was in the Heights Rockefeller Building. Mr. Koehl is best known for his work for the Catholic diocese.
