Did you know that Cleveland Ohio was once home to Millionaires Row? The tree lined Euclid Avenue once boasted 400+ stately homes, now less then a dozen remain. Join us as we go back in time to visit Euclid Avenue in the mid to late 1800s. Check out 32 historic spots, as we match up the old photos with the real life locations.
Corrections:
Stop 29 is the Stager Beckwith Residence, and not the Stagler Beckwith Residence.
Excellent work Jarrett . I love to explore old pics and videos in Cleveland. Fun fact, I was a resident in Sphere apartments when you were a leasing assistant there.
Awesome. Yes I remember. How cool. I hope you're doing well! Thanks for supporting the channel.
The title should be "How humans love to destroy historical structures"
It was extremely sad to see how many ended up as parking lots😔
100% 😢
Developers love to destroy historical structures. Fixed that for you.
They just love making the money from destroying history (and trees), especially using tax funded dollars. They are empty souls. @@theonlyegg
The same progress that built these homes also led to their destruction. Sometimes cities become so large that it makes no sense to have large homes in the middle of them. I don’t consider, necessarily, these types of structures worthy of preservation.
Heartbreaking ☹️All those historical homes
I enjoyed this very much. I have lived on the east side of Cleveland my whole life and I often wondered what it looks like back in the day with all the beautiful homes. Thank you
What a major difference of then and versus now. Before unbelievable architecture, attention to detail, class and expensive materials used , now, unfortunately primarily boxy plain , glass, and brick structures. Kind of sad to see we’ve lost such beauty .
Nice video, but you forgot to mention Mather Mansion which is one of very few remaining mansions to still exist.
Thank you for noticing! Might get to it in a future video. The time range for this tour was 1860-1890s. And the Mather mansion was built in the early 1900s. Cheers!
Nicely done. I grew up a mile off of Euclid Avenue in Euclid, and have heard about millionaires’ row for decades. Great way to tell the story.
Excellent work! Very educational and entertaining presentation!
I did enjoy that!! I live in Lake County!! That was a nice vid!!! 👍👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.. I like Euclid better back then. Now you can’t walk down there alone at night.. I would love to see Old Brooklyn. So much history as well. The train in Brookside park for starters
During my senior year at Case Western Reserve, we got to live in the old Drury mansion at 86th and Euclid. Though I never saw it, there was supposedly a tunnel that ran from under the house to thePlayhouse. What a blast it was. By the way Drury’s country House is almost identical and is now part of Gilmore Academy at Cedar and Som Center Road..
Cool to put the old pictures in place of the current land plot. Thanks
AWESOME VIDEO! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE HISTORICAL CLEVELAND VIDEOS FROM THIS ERA!
Fascinating video. I like how you use the four church steeples as points of reference. It was very helpful. I always wonder what the more modest Prospect Avenue looks like just south of Euclid Ave.
Thank you! Prospect had some great homes. Just not enough pictures to make a tour with.
This was super fascinating, thanks for taking the time to make it! Looking forward to upcoming tours.
Thank you!
Wow! That corner had 4 separate buildings within 100 years before they decided to keep the highrise building. Crazy how much effort was put in just to be torn down.
You should have done the Rockefeller Mansion it would have sat right next door to the last church you mentioned
If things go well, I hope to make more videos in the future. So stay tuned!
You missed the Mather mansion which is still standing.
Fun fact. That PNC office building at e9 and euclid has the most affordable parking garage for sporting events in Cleveland. $10 for all day parking.
That is a fun fact. And a useful one. I plan on being downtown all day tomorrow, maybe I’ll check it out. Thanks Ken!
New sub here, lifelong Clevelander and I have a love of our rich history. I would love to see you do a video on Cleveland’s rival at the time, Newburg Hts, (in addition the defunct township of Corlettt that eventually became apart of Newburg Hts and then both being annexed to Cleveland).
Thank you! If I get the time and can find the pictures I will keep that in mind.
Hundred years ago it was a lot more beautiful.I liked it in Europe it’s not allowed to destroy those buildings
Do you hv info on the home of John Samuel Oram? He invented the machinery for mfg of barrel staves( & the barrselof course)which was a major industry supporting the Rockefeller oil industry. 13:46
Wow great video simple. Fun. Informative. I thought the roxkefellar mansion was on millionaire row also? .... I would like to come to the conclusion that these mansions buildings church's were allready here. And when the supposed men who built them passed it was put in wills to destroy the evidence. The moorish inside speaks volumes.
Great video! But, the children's museum is in the former Stager Beckwith home, you have it listed as "Stagler"
Correction notes were previously added in the video and the description below
Why was the Mather Mansion not included?
Thank you for noticing (ten points to you) , I hope to make another video where I go in depth on the larger estates. The reason I left it out of this video is because the Mather mansion was built in the early 1900s, and the video is intended to reflect the time period of 1860s-1890s. Funny enough, on Stop 14 the first house you can see on the left actually belonged to Samuel Mather as well.
Thanks for watching!
At 2:21 where not going to talk about that toy house in the tree?
Can you do the Tremont neighborhood next?
Hmmm. Yeah that needs to be done. Coming up is a superior Avenue tour which will hopefully come out in the next couple of days. If you find some good old pictures of Tremont let me know.
Is there a reason why you didn't outright name the replacement buildings? This is great information. Thank you. But, why did you choose to be so vague about the names of the current structures? Also, I think you skipped over the Mather & Rockefeller mansions. The Mather mansion is still there and is owned by Cleveland State Univ. The Rockefeller mansion was located on the SW side of E.40th & Euclid. It's now the site of the Sewage building. Additionally, the Drury mansion remains intact (at 86-87th Street & Euclid). It's currently owned by CCF (the Cleveland Clinic Foundation).
I just discovered your channel, so maybe that's just your style to be ambiguous about things. Anyway... thank you for caring, sharing and spreading amazing historical facts about our great city...Cleveland OH!🙌🏾👏🏾
Simple answer is that I am not trying to overload the viewer with details. Keeping it simple makes it easier for many viewers to get through
Have to laugh at all these "boutique apartments" being built in downtown CLE. Good luck with that.
Beautiful homes replaced with ugly ugly buildings
Instead of that peppy music a funeral dirge would have been more appropriate.
Im sick of residential high rises. Modern architecture doesnt impress me.
So in summary, a bunch of amazing mansions with ornate architecture, are replaced with ugly, cheaply built rectangular boxes, or turned into parking lots. Gross. But good history lesson, thanks.
America can't preserve its beautiful history for some stupid reason.
"Form follows function" has been the catalyst to replace beauty with ugliness.
That phony AI narration renders this video useless and unwatchable.
It's not AI lol
