Euclid Golf Allotment

Euclid Golf Allotment is a historic residential district in Cleveland Heights laid out on over 100 acres with spacious grounds. The area was planned with wide streets, larger properties positioned along Fairmount Boulevard, and smaller parcels arranged on the surrounding roads.

This area was originally part of John D. Rockefeller's land holdings, which he leased to the Euclid Club in 1901 for golf purposes. Barton Deming purchased the property in 1913 and transformed it into a planned residential community that was developed systematically over the following years.

The neighborhood displays a mix of different architectural styles that visitors can observe throughout the streets and on the properties. The varied houses with their distinct facades create a visual record of how various building traditions coexisted during this period.

Visitors should explore slowly by car or on foot to fully appreciate the house details and wide, tree-lined streets. The area follows strict preservation guidelines, so checking the historic boundaries on a map helps understand the full extent of the neighborhood.

The district was designed with seven specific deed restrictions that still govern building design and character to this day. These early restrictions were an unusual strategy for the time, created to ensure the neighborhood maintained its original appearance and quality standards.
