This is a list of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Cleveland, Ohio.
This is intended to be a complete list of the properties and districts on the
National Register of Historic Places in
Cleveland,
Ohio,
United States. Latitude and longitude coordinates are provided for many National Register properties and districts; these locations may be seen together in an online map.[1]
There are 432 properties and districts listed on the National Register in
Cuyahoga County, including 4
National Historic Landmarks. The city of Cleveland is the location of 274 of these properties and districts, including 3 of the National Historic Landmarks; they are listed here, while the remainder are
listed separately. Four properties and districts are split between Cleveland and other parts of the county, and are thus included on both lists. Another 8 properties in Cleveland were once listed but have been removed.
A
Case Western Reserve University administration building built in 1881 to serve as the home of Western Reserve College. Designed by local architect Joseph Ireland in the
Italianate,
Romanesque, and
Stick-Eastlake styles, it was named after Adelbert Stone, the drowned son of industrialist
Amasa Stone. The building was gutted by a fire in June 1991, and restored in 1993.[6]
This 1914 Neoclassical addition to Alta House (completed in 1899) was designed by
George B. Post of New York City. Alta House burned in 1980 and was demolished in 1981, but the library survived undamaged. A new, smaller Alta House was finished in 1982, and the library underwent a major renovation in 2016.
Four apartment buildings (six structures) on Ansel Road between Talbot and Wade Park Avenue, and one apartment building (two structures) on Wade Park Avenue, built overlooking Rockefeller Park between 1910 and 1928. Large and small buildings, for the wealthy and the working class, in a wide range of architectural styles are outstanding examples of early 20th century apartment living.
1910 electric automobile luxury showroom, garage, and repair facility designed by local architect Frank B. Meade and erected by the Baker Electric Motor Vehicle Company. A mix of
Early Commercial and
Mission Revival architecture, it was restored in 2008 and is now a startup business incubator.
A 1901
Richardsonian Romanesque home in the Hough neighborhood designed by local architect George J. Hardway. It epitomizes the local reaction against the excesses of Victorian architecture.
Designed by Walker and Weeks and completed in 1916, this was formerly the largest single-unit warehouse in the world. It is an exemplar of the
Commercial style of architecture. It was converted into The Bingham apartments in 2001.
Clothing manufacturing factory constructed in 1907 and designed by New York City architect
Robert D. Kohn, this
Mission Revival building was once a nationally-known model for beauty and worker comfort. It is now known as the Tower Press Building. It underwent a renovation in 2003.
Likely designed by local architect George Smith, this
Queen Anne style block of apartments has an interior arcade and ground-floor retail. It anchored a major intersection in
Goodrich–Kirtland Park for half a century. The structure underwent historic preservation and renovation from 1994 to 1995.
Erected by 40 Czech cultural societies in 1896, this building, a mix of
Renaissance Revival and
Romanesque Revival architecture designed by the local firm of Steffens & Searles, was designed to serve the cultural, political, and social needs of Cleveland's Czech community. (At the time, Cleveland had the fourth-largest Czech population of any city in the world, behind Prague, Vienna, and Chicago).
This 1905
Swiss Chalet Revival style house was built for Frederick W. Bomonti, a famous Swiss American restaurateur in Cleveland. It is an exemplar of the type of architecture favored by Swiss Americans, a large and influential immigrant group in Cleveland in the late 1800s.
Historic district of 43 buildings constructed between 1888 and 1930. The district runs on Broadway between Cable and Barkwill Avenues, and on E. 55th Street between Lufkin and Broadway Avenues, with a few buildings to either side. It is the heart of the Czech community in Cleveland, and was once the second largest shopping district in the city.
1904 bank building in an eclectic mix of styles, designed by noted local architect
J. Milton Dyer during his most prolific, creative period. It is a contributing property to the Archwood Avenue Historic District and to the Brooklyn Centre Historic District, and is listed on the NRHP independently as well.
Three brick public school buildings in the Queen Anne style, completed in 1885 (
John Eisenmann), 1905 (
Frank Seymour Barnum), and 1909 (Barnum). Several nationally and locally famous individuals were educated there, and it was the first home of
Tri-C. The complex was sold to private investors in 1979, and underwent a significant interior remodel into office space from 1983 to 1985.
Automobile salesroom and service center built by Mall Motor Co. in 1921 and designed by the local architectural firm of Christian, Schwarzenburg and Gaede. It was sold to Bryant Motor Co. in 1922, from which the building draws its name. The structure was significantly renovated by Masthead Brewing in 2016.
A
Georgian Revival luxury apartment building completed in 1927 on a bluff overlooking Cedar Glen Parkway. Designed by Samuel H. Weis (
a.k.a. Samuel H. White), it was saved from demolition in 1993 and converted to condominiums.
1907 bank building designed by George B. Post featuring a striking glass rotunda, a tympanum sculpture, and interior murals. Interior renovated after 2013 into a grocery store and nightclub.
13-story Georgian Revival residential hotel completed in 1923. It is the last surviving building of the Doan's Corners commercial and entertainment district.
"George Buckingham Merwin ... built a fine brick-house at the head of Prospect Street, which was then west of Sterling, now East 30th Street. When Prospect Street was cut through Sterling, this home was moved to the south side of it. It is a fine type of the architecture of that day, and the high ceilings of its interior, the size of the rooms, and the fine finish of all woodwork evidence refined and dignified taste. It is at present the home of
the Rowfant Club, a very appropriate one for book-lovers, as George Merwin was a student all his life."[18][19]
Three-story, 9,000-square-foot 1904 Tudor Revival building designed by the architectural firm of Badgley and Nicklas to look like a home. Originally called the Willson Avenue Industrial Institute, the name changed to the Eleanor B. Rainey Memorial Institute in 1905.

Second set of boundaries represents a boundary increase of January 5, 2001. Extends into Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights,
elsewhere in Cuyahoga County
City cemetery established in 1853 which became Cleveland's most prominent burying ground for the next half-century. It fell into extreme disrepair, and most of its outstanding architectural features dismantled or demolished between 1915 and 1951. It has undergone moderate restoration since 2000.
