Shaker Village Historic District

Shaker Village Historic District is a residential area in Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights spanning Fairmount and Lomond Boulevards plus Green, Warrensville Center, Becket, and Coventry Roads. The area contains hundreds of preserved buildings from different periods, including homes, churches, schools, and commercial buildings.

The Van Sweringen Company developed this planned suburban community in the early 1900s with strict architectural standards. The company also integrated a transit system to connect the new community with Cleveland.

The district displays early 20th-century residential architecture in colonial and revival styles that shape the streetscape today. These buildings reflect the ideals of a planned community where housing quality and neighborhood structure were deliberately designed.

When exploring, expect many streets and buildings to be under protective guidelines that regulate any changes or renovations. The best way to see the area is by walking through the marked streets where different architectural styles become clear.

The Moses Warren house on Ingleside Road dates to 1817 and is the oldest surviving frame house in the county. This early home shows what the region looked like before large-scale development.
