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

Sidney R. Badgley was born in Earnstown, Ontario. His family later moved to the Niagara region of Ontario. His father was engaged in the lumber, general manufacturing, and building business. Sidney Badgley began his career by making construction plans for his father's business. The family later moved to St. Catharines, Ontario, where he attended Grantham Academy. He went to work in the office of Toronto architect R. C. Windeyer where he designed Massey Hall, a major concert hall. He later moved back to St. Catharines, where he served two terms as an alderman. After extensive travel in the United States and Canada, he settled in Cleveland in 1887. His practice became known as a prolific designer of churches. In Cleveland he was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Civil Engineer's Club. He was a firm believer in the union of Canada and the United States. In Cleveland he designed numerous churches including St. Timothy Missionary Baptist Church, Pilgrim Congregational Church, Scranton Avenue Baptist Church, and St. John's Presbyterian Church. He was also the architect of the Georgian Revival style Jones Home for Children. From 1903 to 1913 he formed a partnership with William H. Nicklas. His buildings are found throughout the United States and Canada. In 1907 he visited Athens, Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Geneva, Cologne, Berlin, Paris and the British Isles. While he was abroad he made a special study of Old World Cathedrals. He was a member of the Methodist Church. He was married twice. He died at his home at Springbrook Farm in Willoughby, Ohio in 1917 and was buried in Victoria Cemetery in St. Catharines.

Biography

Frederick Baird was born in Bangor, Maine and came to Cleveland with his family at the age of three. He was a graduate of West High School in Cleveland. After graduation he went to work in the office of Charles Schweinfurth, as he pursued his studies, for three and a half years. He later went to work for Coburn & Barnum and then became foreman and designer for Lehman and Schmitt. While with that firm he designed many residences, courthouses, and other buildings throughout the country. He married Mamie Zangerle, the sister of county auditor John A. Zangerle. In 1898 he set up an office in the American Trust Building. A motto taken from Longfellow hung over his desk: "In the older days of art / Builders wrought with greatest care / Each minute and unseen part / For the gods see everywhere."He designed a wide variety of structures, including houses, terraces, apartments, and commercial buildings. He designed the Salvation Army Citadel Building, the first reinforced concrete constructed building in Ohio. He submitted two drawings for the proposed Forest City Savings Bank Building on the corner of West 25th Street and Detroit Avenue, although neither of his designs was chosen. Steffens, Searles & Hirsh eventually won the contract. His most famous building is St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral in the Tremont neighborhood. He was a member of the Cleveland Architectural Club. In 1917, he announced his retirement and traveled to Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea and Manchuria. He died on February 16, 1920 of cancer and is buried in Lake View Cemetery.

Biography

Fenimore C. Bate was born in Cleveland. He first appears in the 1876-7 Cleveland City Directory as a draftsman working for architect Walter Blythe. In 1883, he was a draftsman and, the following year, an architect for the Cleveland Water Works Department. By 1885 he was in business for himself as an architect. He was the architect of numerous houses for the middle and upper middle classes as well as of commercial buildings at a time when Cleveland's population was booming. His works were well documented in the architectural journals of the time. Several significant examples of Bate-designed Queen Anne houses survive. These include the Schellentrager House (built 1893), 690 Lakeview Road; the Henry Trenkamp House (1894-5), 1905 East 89th Street; and the Latham Brightman House, now the Holmes County Historical Society (1901) in Millersburg, Ohio. His houses were built throughout Cleveland, northeast Ohio cities and towns, including Fremont and Toledo, and Indianapolis, Indiana. An article in the March 17, 1888 "Cleveland Town Topics" magazine said that Bate-designed homes "all show a refreshing departure from the stereotyped styles of a few years ago". He is best known as the architect of the Romanesque Revival-style Cleveland Grays Armory (1893), 1234 Bolivar Road. He was also a member of the Cleveland Grays.Later in his career he designed more tenement or apartment buildings, a popular building type in turn-of-the-century Cleveland. Architect Edward E. Smith was a draftsman who worked for Fenimore Bate from 1889 until 1894. Throughout Bate's career he designed commercial and industrial buildings. The Megerth Block (1892-3), 8620 - 6 Cedar Avenue, and the addition to the Standard Lighting Building (1895), 4419-37 Perkins Avenue, are two extant commercial-industrial use buildings designed by Bate. He was also the architect of several hotels and hotel additions, though apparently none of those survive. There is an article in the September 22, 1900 issue of the "Interstate Architect" that states that Bate was injured in an accident in his office where he dropped a battery with acid striking him in the face and neck causing him temporary blindness. After a period of failing health, Fenimore Bate died on June 27, 1903 at the age of forty six of apoplexy at home in his New Amsterdam apartment. He was buried in Lake View Cemetery. He left his estate to his wife Helen, including property that he owned on East 20th Street occupied by the Fenimore Apartments.

Biography

W. Dominick Benes was born in Prague, Austrian Empire and was ethnically Bohemian. His family immigrated to America in 1866, first settling in Chicago and then moving to Cleveland. He was educated in the public schools of Prague and Cleveland. He went to work for his uncle, architect Jon V. Benes of Chicago. After returning to Cleveland he worked for Andrew Mitermiler from 1873 to 1876. He went on to work for the firm of Coburn and Barnum. He later became a partner in the firm of Coburn, Barnum & Benes that eventually became Coburn, Barnum, Benes & Hubbell. After Forrest Coburn's death, Hubbell and Benes formed their own partnership. He was Jeptha H. Wade III's personal architect. He designed the interior of the Wade yacht, and the music room of the Wade home at Euclid and East 40th Street. That relationship eventually led to the commissions for the Wade Memorial Chapel at Lakeview Cemetery, the Wade Residences in the Wade Allotment and Gates Mills, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He retired to an estate on North Miles Road overlooking the Chagrin River Valley where he devoted himself to his hobby of flower culture. He died in the Cleveland Clinic and was cremated.

Biography

Joseph M. Blackburn was born in Cudworth, Yorkshire, England. In England he served a seven year apprenticeship to William and Thomas Topam at Ackworth, Yorkshire. Blackburn worked as an architect at Ackworth for an additional four years. He came to the United States and to Cleveland in 1850. As an architect from 1850 to 1891, he worked in Cleveland throughout the Victorian era designing buildings in the Second Empire, Gothic and Italianate styles of his day. He received many significant commissions during his career including the St. Vincent's Charity Hospital, the Ohio Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Columbus, the Central Ohio Insane Asylum in Columbus, and the remodeling of Presidential candidate James Garfield's Mentor home. He was the architect of private and public buildings in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. During his career he formed many partnerships. From 1861 to 1864 he was a member of the firm of Blackburn and Fuller. About 1865 he moved to 471 Euclid Avenue. From 1866 to 1868 he was a member of the firm of Blackburn and Koehler; from 1879 to 1880 he was a member of the firm of Blackburn and Charlot; and finally he was with the firm of Blackburn and Daniels. When not in partnership he was listed as working alone. J. N. Richardson and Andrew Mitermiler worked in his office before they went into business in their own firms. Most of his buildings were constructed before building permits were required in Cleveland (1888) and remain unidentified. He was a member of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church. He is buried in Woodland Cemetery.

Biography

Walter Blythe was born in Leeds, England. He came to America at the age of thirteen in 1849 and located in Cleveland one year later. He married Florida Geneva Heard, the daughter of architect Charles Heard. He learned the avocation of stone-cutter from his father-in-law. He later became a draftsman and then an architect. He was a veteran of the Forty-first Ohio Volunteers regiment during the Civil War. Immediately after the war, from 1866 to 1871, he was a partner in the firm of Heard and Blythe. In 1871 he went into business for himself. He was the president of the Board of Water Works. All of his work was built before the issuance of building permits by the City of Cleveland (1888), thus making it unidentifiable. He lived at the edge of the city at Kinsman Road and East 40th Street. He was the architect of many important commercial and governmental buildings built during the High Victorian era.
