We are indebted to Mr. Weston Schmitt, grandson
of Barton R. Deming, for graciously providing us with a number of extremely
important historical photographs of Euclid Golf. These period
photographs are a record of how the area appeared prior to Barton Deming
developing it. Moreover, they reveal the extent to which the area was
improved by Deming prior to his actually constructing homes. There are
also views of Deming’s two charming real estate offices that give us a
glimpse of the sales methods utilized in early 20th century real
estate development.
Mr. Schmitt’s collection also includes a suite
of photos of Deming’s own house at the foot of Fairmount. We have
included a sampling of these photos showing interiors and views of the
extensive gardens.
Mr. Schmitt has generously donated the original
photographs to the City of Cleveland Heights. |
