2605 Euclid Ave
The crown jewel of what remains. Built in 1910 for iron mining mogul Samuel Mather, this 43-room behemoth is now part of CSU’s campus. You can walk the grounds, peek inside if it’s open, and absolutely tell your friends it’s haunted (because it is).
🧛♀️ Ghost watch level: Medium-High
2230 Euclid Ave
Not a mansion, but dripping with that same Gilded Age grandeur. Built in 1907 in English Gothic style, it was the church of choice for Cleveland’s elite. The inside is stunning and open to visitors—if you love old architecture, it's worth the detour.
1127 Euclid Ave
This swanky hotel opened in 1912 as part of Cleveland’s downtown renaissance, and while it catered to travelers more than mansion-owners, it reflects the luxe vibes of the era. It’s now apartments, but the lobby still has touches of old-school glamour.
1234 Bolivar Rd (a quick detour)
Okay, technically off Euclid, but worth it. Built in 1893, it’s one of the oldest independent armories in the country. Some of the same Euclid Ave families were part of the Grays. Bonus: they host ghost tours in the fall 👀.
12316 Euclid Ave (east of the main stretch)
Finish your tour at the final resting place of many Millionaire’s Row families. The Wade Chapel is STUNNING—with interiors designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It’s quiet, peaceful, and oddly glamorous for a cemetery.
📸 Bring your camera: This place is gorgeous, especially in the fall.
Start at CSU with Mather Mansion → head west along Euclid past Trinity → swing through Playhouse Square → loop around to Bolivar for the Grays Armory → then drive (or rideshare) to Lake View to end on a high note.
