The building was first constructed in 1903, according to city building permit records and contemporary newspaper accounts. George J. Hardway (1858-1929) was the architect. Its middle section was built soon after the original construction and the east wing was built in 1929.

No information was found about the architect of this east section. The features that provide this building with its architectural character include the classically-inspired rhythm of windows, piers and masonry. The craftsmanship on this building is on a high level, with the stone crisply features distinctive hard-fired wire-cut red brick. The understated simplicity of the principal elevations combines with fine craftsmanship to create an architectural presence along a largely residential section of Scranton Rd This building also has an association with the rise of modern dentistry in the United States, as home to one of the older dental manufacturing firms in the country and the only major firm of its type in the city. According to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, dentistry was a major profession in the City of Cleveland.

spurred by the formation of the Cleveland Dental Society in 1886 and the establishment in 1892 of a major dental training facility associated with Western Reserve University. Cleveland's City Hospital (now Metro Health Medical Center), located across the street from this facility, offered free dentistry to city residents over 100 By the 1940s it was a major manufacturer of custom dental instruments and the trademark "Cleve-Dent" was acquired by Cavitron of New York in 1959, their annual business amounted to more than a million dollars.

The building was rehabilitated inside and out in 2002-03 and is in excellent condition. The only change is the presence of interior partitions to Cleveland Dental Manufacturing Company in the context of Hardway's works George J.

Hardway was an architect active in Cleveland from 1887 until 1905, when he relocated to New common at the time and, as far as is known, he did not use the then-popular Queen Anne style of Hardway's taste for simpler buildings, expressive of their construction materials, formed the basis for the design for the Cleveland Dental Manufacturing Company. In this instance, brick rather than wood shingles parapets to create a strong rhythm. It is fortunate that this project is documented by a preliminary published drawing (Plain Dealer, 3-23-1903) that displays the transition in the design. The preliminary version of the building has a much more horizontal orientation than the building as actually constructed.

Changes that were made to give the building a more lively appearance including reducing the width and probably slightly increasing the height of the brick piers between the ranks of windows. The windows themselves appear to be larger and simpler, grouped in pairs windows more of a vertical emphasis than the flat masonry tops that had been proposed. Its construction is This building displays the design principles of an architect who perhaps was aware of work by Albert Kahn brothers. When in 1903 he was commissioned by the Packard Company to plan his first factory, Kahn deviated from traditional design to use reinforced concrete framer and steel sash to introduce a new form of and while his design for this building is not as structurally innovative as the Packard factory, it does strive 1886), preferred the Shingle Style for residential architecture to the prevalent Queen Anne style.

He was publisher of the American Builder. Hardway also succeeded in having some of his residential designs featured in Inland Architect. rather than clusters of threes. The segmental arched window tops, another major change, give each rank of York City. According to research performed by the Cleveland Landmarks Commission, Hardway was also involved in architectural writing and publishing, serving in 1892 with Charles Tousley as editor and primarily a residential architect. Identified examples of his houses were often simpler in style than was architecture. Instead, Hardway was apparently a pioneer in Cleveland of the emerging Shingle Style. industrial architecture, combining beauty with utility.

Dr. Leedy characterizes this code as one of the strictest and most far-reaching in the nation. Ohio was developing a statewide code at this time with influenced by these codes, but it is more likely, according to Dr. Leedy, that other factors shaped the design to be protected in the event of fire.

Also, in an age before widespread use of building codes, insurance companies provided guidelines for building construction. The newspaper article at the time of the building's construction mentions several innovative techniques used in its erection. By embodying the most modern ideas of slow-burning mill construction, this building utilized heavy timber framing and thick floors made of wood flooring placed on end. It had large fireproof vaults to protect expensive patterns and dies. Elevators and stairways enclosed with brick walls and fireproof doors were ways to prevent fires from spreading and to provide safe means of exit for employees in the event of fire. It is unknown whether these specific features were the result of the new building code, insurance requirements, the architect's own innovation or a combination of the three factors. George J.
