A 1926 newspaper advertisement for the French-style Demonstration Home at 18513 Van Aken Boulevard referred to it as "A Modern Manoir...rich in Old World charm." The ad also assured the reader that the house "meets the rigid Van Sweringen requirements in every detail of materials, construction, and workmanship," because, after all, it was "built by The Van Sweringen Company itself, to set the right standard for its neighborhood." | Source: City of Shaker Heights Planning DepartmentDownload Original File
