Does anyone know who owns that huge mansion at E. 73rd and Chester? (Cleveland: new home, neighborhoods)

I have always been very curious about that house. It's so out of place with the surrounding neighborhood!

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here's the link on google maps

For today it is , but not always maybe 100 years ago it would have
been the norm to some degree ( That house is way off the charts )
but one of many built in that area . Many of the older homes still standing
show tell tell signs of an upper income community , back then , ( for some that could not afford Millionaires Row)
One just needs to know what to look at ( Well thats my C- towns History Tonight ) ,
That said , ownership of property is public record made today so much easier by the click of the mouse go to the County site , and find the link to the auditor's site ( tax map department) One will need the House Number and Street name or the Permanent Tax Parcel Number to make the search easier .

My twin girls are doing a Social Studies project for school, and they chose Lewis Wetzel. (I own several books about him) Anyway, there is a rumor that the statue of him in New Martinsville WV is actually that of David Morgan, and the David Morgan statue in Morgantown is actually Lewis Wetzel.
The two statues were supposedly switched during shipment a long time ago. My husband and I are going to be bringing the girls up to the northern part of the state to visit historical markers, landmarks, etc., and we'd really like to know which statue is actually that of Wetzel. I've not been able to find anything definitive online. If anyone has any information about this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

If you look at the picture this house looks newer, like maybe built in the last 20 years or so. There are also some nice newer houses down the street from it. Why a street with such suburban looking McMansions in the middle of the east side of Cleveland?

that area once was again a middle upper class area , eastside Cleveland can and should have such areas of upper income areas . But it did not happen by chance , The City of Cleveland , and those who have built homes in the area had many reasons why ,tax rebates , the pride in some of those that lived in the area as kids , and have been able to afford
to have a house that are a "McMansions " in the area they feel at home. Since you used the "McMansions " description While funny to say
in certain suburban areas , The fact is that most people want ,
in the city or otherwise . a McMansion , it should not be a problem.
I see now a underlining question , I say why not.
Now did you go to the county site , and find the owner' s name
(as it was your original question ) that I said ownership of land is Public
record ?

they tried gentrifying that chester avenue corridor by building nice new homes on the side streets that intersect with Chester Ave. hoping that the "newness" would promote beautification on the middle blocks of these side streets. Now, when you drive down chester ave. it looks a lot nicer than it did like 10 yrs ago

The Cleveland Area History page (group?) on Facebook and the related blog clevelandareahistory.com are the best places to get this info. These people know this kind of thing in amazing detail.

You are seeing a lot of new housing developments go up across eastern city neighborhoods. Street by street they are doing this. I know a lot of the newer homes close to University Circle are home to doctors, nurses, and professors. Of course they are gated. But this is a common find on google street view in eastern neighborhoods. I like it, as long as they also rehab the older homes.
