Designed in an English Cottage style by architect Philip L. Small, the home at 20000 South Woodland Road was constructed in 1924 at an estimated cost of $50,000. This style was employed to provide a sense of old-world charm and comfort. The asymmetrical design and cross gabled roof calls back to the vernacular architecture of European rural homes, when additions were added onto structures over time in response to the needs of inhabitants. Other exterior features are characteristic of the English revival styles, including the stucco and brick exterior, half-timber ornamentation and steeply-pitched roof. The home was designated a landmark on June 28, 1983. | Source: City of Shaker Heights Planning DepartmentDownload Original File
