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

J. Milton Dyer was born in Middletown, Pennsylvania where his father had a hardware business. In 1881, his family moved to the Willson (E.55th Street) and Woodland Avenue area, then known as Rock's Corners. He attended Central High School. He went to work for Brown Hoisting where he earned a scholarship to the Case Institute of Technology. He continued to work there during the summer. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1906, the Architectural Record published an article on his work where he was highlighted as one of a growing number of professionally educated architects settling in smaller American cities. Significant architectural talent came out of his office including Frank Walker, Harry Weeks, and Reynold Hinsdale. He also worked for Warner & Swasey for several years.He lived on East 71st Street until the last few years of his life. He never married, living with his mother until her death in 1923 and then with his sister until her death in 1954. He then went on to live in a rest home in Cleveland Heights. He was not listed as a registered architect in the November 1940 Ohio Architect listing. He died at the age of eighty-seven and is buried in Woodland Cemetery.
