Cleveland State University's new Student Center sits on land which was once the Perry-Payne Homestead (outlined above in red) on Cleveland's Millionaire's Row. In the second half of the nineteenth century two mansions sat on the homestead. One (on the right) was owned by Nathan Perry, a wealthy Cleveland businessman and the other (on the left) by Henry B. Payne, who married Perry's daughter Mary. Payne was Ohio's first U.S. Senator from Cleveland. The Student Center sits very close to where Henry Payne's mansion sat 100 years ago.
