BUILDING HISTORY & NEW OWNERSHIP:
Once known as the Stockbridge Hotel, this building is located in the Midtown Neighborhood of Cleveland. It is an historic building built in 1911 opened with only 10 suites of 16 rooms each. Those 4,000-square-foot units were created for the industrial barons whose palatial estates surrounded it, and a number of them moved in for the winter season. Oilman George Canfield wanted a place where these millionaire friends could close up their mansions from the winter, save on utilities and staff and move here. Some notable tenants were Henry Sherwin, co-founder of the Sherwin-Williams Co., and bank owner Harry Wick. The son of President James Garfield, also named James, moved in with his wife. In 1923 the Stockbridge Annex was built and the huge suites got carved up to create more rooms, some visitors were vaudevillians, including Bob Hope and Jack Benny, who appeared at the nearby Hippodrome. The headliners would stay in the front; roadies and the rest of the entourage would stay in the more utilitarian Stockbridge Annex. In the 1970s the owner at the time applied for a National Register of Historic Places and received it.
