This Euclid Avenue mansion was built by her father Dr. Chadwick. Cassie Chadwick became internationally notorious when she claimed to be the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie and, with the help of an Ohio banker she tricked, persuaded many other banks to lend her millions of dollars in high-interest loans in the hope that they would cash in when Carnegie died. Chadwick lived large for several years until her fraud was discovered in 1904 and she was imprisoned. In 1910 the house was demolished, and the Euclid Avenue Temple rose on its site. | Date: January 14, 1910 | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
