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

Theodore Schmitt was born in Cleveland. His German-born father had been a marshal and later superintendent of police from 1862 to 1892.

Theodore Schmitt was educated in the Cleveland public schools and later studied at Hannover and military school at Mannheim in Germany. He worked as an assistant in the office of George H. Smith from 1881 to 1884. He formed the partnership with Israel Lehman in 1885. He lived at 1841 East 82nd Street and had a country home, Eagle Cliff, on Lake Erie. He became active as a gas producer, selling his products to Standard Oil in the later years of his life. He continued working after Israel Lehman's death in 1914 until his own death in 1935.

Biography

Levi Tucker Scofield (nee Schofield) was born in Cleveland and was raised in a home on Euclid Avenue near East 9th Street. His family later operated the Prospect Place Hotel on the site after which it became the location of the Schofield Building, which he designed. Levi Scofield attended Cleveland public schools, pursuing the study of architecture and engineering. At some point, he dropped the "H" from his name. In 1860 he moved to Cincinnati. He served in the Ohio 113th Infantry, rising in the rank to First Lieutenant and Captain. He wrote "The Retreat from Pulaski to Nashville, Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864" which was published in 1909. After the war he returned to Cleveland. In 1867 he married Elizabeth C. Wright, who was prominent in local society and philanthropic circles. She was president of the YWCA, the Phyllis Wheatley Association, and organized the Cleveland Vocal Society. Levi Scofield is remembered as the architect of large Victorian era institutions that included the Asylum for the Insane in Athens and Columbus, Ohio, the North Carolina Penitentiary, the Ohio Penitentiary in Mansfield, and the Cleveland House of Corrections. His firm designed five Cleveland Public Schools between 1869 and 1883. He devoted seven and a half years, without compensation, to the Cuyahoga County Soldiers and Sailors Monument, and contributed over $57,000 of its total cost. He was the first Cleveland architect taken into membership in the American Institute of Architects and was a friend and golfing partner of John D. Rockefeller. Scofield was the sculptor of "These are my Jewels," a Civil War Monument installed at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, later moved to the grounds of the Ohio State Capitol. The Schofield Office Building on the southwest corner of Euclid and East 9th Street, built in 1900, was built on the Schofield homestead and was originally owned by Levi Scofield. He had two sons, William Marshall Scofield (1868-1942) and Sherman Wright Scofield (1876-1942) who became members of his architectural firm. The Scofields were members of First Baptist Church and are buried in Lake View Cemetery.
