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

Coburn & Barnum (firm)
Biography
Coburn and Barnum was one of the most important architectural firms in late 19th century in Cleveland. They designed over twenty houses along Euclid Avenue's Millionaires Row, several buildings for Case Institute of Technology, Western Reserve University, and Oberlin College, and large commercial buildings including the Blackstone Power Block. They designed several churches including the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, the Franklin Avenue Congregational Church, the Olivet Baptist Church, and Trinity Baptist Church. Beyond Cleveland they had commissions in Oberlin, Delaware, and Ashland, Ohio, and Palm Beach, Florida. The office staff included Benjamin Hubbell, W. Dominck Benes, John Edelmann, Albert Skeel, Frank Hall, and Herbert Briggs. The firm would become Coburn, Barnum and Benes, when W. Dominick Benes was made partner, and became Coburn, Barnum, Benes, and Hubbell when Benjamin Hubbell became a partner. The firm dissolved when Forrest Coburn died in 1897. Several of the firm's architectural plans can be found at the Western Reserve Historical Society Library.

Coburn, Forrest (architect)
Biography
Forrest Amos Coburn was born in Lowell, Massachusetts. He moved to Cleveland's West Side with his parents at the age of fourteen. He worked as a bookkeeper for the firm of Woods, Perry and Company lumber dealers after high school. He developed a talent for architecture while working for that firm. From 1868 to 1871 he worked for architect Joseph Ireland, then in the office of architect Walter Blythe. He then went to New York to complete his study of architecture where he worked in the office of Richard Morris Hunt. He returned to Cleveland in 1877 and went into partnership with Frank S. Barnum in 1878. They were a very successful firm; the vast majority of their work was residential. They were also the architects of several churches in Cleveland and surrounding communities, including a large number of Congregational Churches. These included the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church at 9606 Euclid Avenue (1887), the Franklin Avenue Congregational Church at 5720 Franklin Boulevard (1883), and the Olivet Baptist Church, as well as several buildings for Case Tech and Western Reserve University, and commercial buildings. He was secretary of the Civil Engineer's club and a member of the veteran's society of Troop A. His death was brought on by over work. He was sick the last four months of his life. At the time of his death he lived at 6016 Franklin.

Corbusier, John (architect)
Biography
John William Cresswell Corbusier was a native of Rochester, New York and a graduate of the Mechanics Institute who gained practical experience in Buffalo, New York and New York City, where he worked in the office of Cass Gilbert. He became the lead draftsman in the office of H.V.B. Magonigle who won the competition for the McKinley Memorial in Canton. While in this office he won the gold metal of the New York architectural league. He married the daughter of H. F. Lyman of the Upson-Walton Company. He spent two years in Paris after his marriage, where he continued his study of the gothic cathedral. Upon his return to the United States, he settled in Cleveland, associating with Ralph Adams Cram in erecting the Church of the Covenant, and with Henry Vaughn on the Flora Stone Mather Chapel of Adelbert College. He later went into partnerships with George S. Page and then with William E. Foster. He was a noted church architect. He moved to Hudson in 1911 where he was instrumental in early historic preservation efforts, designing several structures that fit into the character of the early Western Reserve architecture of the town.

Cudell, Frank (architect)
Biography
Franz (Frank) Cudell was born in Aix la Chapelle, Germany. He studied architecture there and left Germany in 1866, initially settling in New York, working in the office of architect Leopold Eidlitz. He came to Cleveland in 1867 where he worked in the offices of local architects. In 1871 he opened his own office, soon forming a partnership with J. N. Richardson under the name of Cudell & Richardson. He was naturalized as an American citizen on June 22, 1871. In 1878 he invented a sewer gas trap. In 1890, because of his health, he turned his interest in the business over to Richardson. He remained active in civic affairs, presenting an alternative to the Group Plan. In 1902 he proposed building a city hall on Public Square. He filed a lawsuit against the City regarding the selection of J. Milton Dyer as the architect for Cleveland City Hall. He bequeathed his entire estate to the City, after the death of his widow in 1937, including his home that has become Cudell Recreation Center, two apartment buildings on West Boulevard, and shares of Cleveland Railway stock. The Cudell clock tower was erected as a memorial to him in 1917.
