Neighbors — not the homeowners — submit a 20-page application to make the 98-year-old home a historic landmark.
The historic and well-known Heideloff mansion at 13474 Edgewater Drive may soon become the city’s fourth-ever historic landmark. But, it was the neighbors — not the homeowners — who proposed the idea. The proposal must first get the green light from the city’s planning commission in two public hearings. The designation means that the nearly 98-year-old home could never be torn down. Changes to the building’s exterior would also not be permitted. The planning commission will hear the proposal at next Thursday’s meeting. Under the city’s ordinance, the commission will host two hearings to determine whether the property — built by a prominent Cleveland industrialist Wilfred Sly — is eligible for the designation. Neighbors, Mary Breiner and …

City officials confirm that a bank is in preliminary discussions to buy the property.
The building that was recently designated the city’s third-ever historic landmark is in on the market. And it may have an interested buyer. City officials confirmed rumors this week that a bank is interested in buying the property. However, the buyer and the seller are in negotiations and no deal has been reached. “The building looks great on the outside,” said Mayor Michael Summers. “The question has been ‘who would be interested?’” The property — including the 23,000-square-foot building — is listed for sale at $1.97 million. “We’re not in a position to know what’s going on,” the mayor added, noting that no deal has been reached. “It’s one thing to express interest, and another thing to actually buy it.” “That would be a very happy …

City’s planning commission approves the 100-year-old structure on Detroit Avenue as only the third property in Lakewood with the designation.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist is now officially a historic landmark. The planning commission gave that designation on Thursday, making the nearly 100-year-old building the third building in Lakewood’s history to get the designation of historic landmark. Not everyone was happy about it. The attorney for the California-based phone company that now owns the property attended the meeting and expressed concerns that the new designation would lower the property value. “That’s not the case at all,” said Dru Siley, the city’s director of planning and development. “In fact for a unique property, with that kind of historic designation, it makes that building an asset.” Jim Artiano, representing California Phone, couldn’t be reached for …
