This cartoon, which is part of a larger Van Sweringen Company advertisement that ran in the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1927, features three of the Demonstration Homes designed by Philip Small. In the lower right corner of the image is the house at 19700 South Woodland Road, followed by 19910 South Woodland Road, and then 20000 South Woodland Road. By the late 1920s, many of the mansions that made up "Millionaire's Row" along Cleveland's Euclid Avenue were being torn down as the street became increasingly more commercial than residential. Many of the city's wealthiest residents moved to the suburbs around this time. The dozens of mansions located on South Woodland Road in Shaker Heights would have been an attractive destination for Cleveland's elite. | Source: Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
