On April 17, 1906 Mr. C. J. Neal took out permits to construct this 48-unit complex on a lot adjoining his single-family residence on the south side of Detroit Avenue near West Boulevard.
An explosive population growth in this area, combined with industrial development along the major rail lines that traverse through this vicinity, prompted a demand for housing. Detroit Avenue, because of streetcar service, [iv] became a prime been developed after the Civil War into comfortable suburban residences were being replaced with more dense Symbolic of this transition from upper middle class single-family housing, C. J. Neal opted to build this Neal's father-in-law, Andrew W. Oppmann, developed Oppmann Terrace, 10119 Detroit Avenue, built from surviving terrace complex. A newspaper account of the time credits Oppmann as the owner/developer of Neal Terrace and it is likely that Neal furnished the land, site of his former residence, while Oppmann did the actual building, using expertise gained at his nearby terrace, which was still being developed and expanded in 1906. Andrew W.
Oppmann (1844-1910) was born in Bavaria and came to America at age 18 and soon found work in a St. Louis brewery. After military service, travels to the western United States and time spent at sea traveling through the western hemisphere, Oppmann returned to the brewery business. In 1871 he became brewmaster of the Oppmann brewery was rebuilt with a magnificent new brick facility. Two years later, Oppmann sold his & Sandusky Brewing Company, which was the lead player in the consolidation of the region's brewery continuing until his death in 1910. His son, Henry J. Oppmann, added units along Detroit Avenue to Oppmann Terrace such that by 1917 it had achieved its present size. In contrast to Oppmann Terrace, Neal Terrace was built all at once. Among C. J.
Neal's other ventures was Neal Moving and Storage Company, whose7-story building isa few blocks west of Neal Terrace at 9800 Detroit Avenue. It was erected in 1925 from designs by architects Christian, Schwartezenberg & Gaede. The design of Neal Moving and Storage won honorable mention in 1926 from the Chamber of Commerce. The Neal Storage Company was founded in 1864.

Oppmann Terrace was his largest real estate project and he developed it, beginning in 1893, and target for multi-family housing during the first decade of the 20th century.
Spacious semi-rural lots that had complex and presumably provided Neal with the inspiration for building this, Cleveland's second largest uncommon and was not highlighted in the city directory to any great extent, to a time when many apartments United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Cuyahoga, Ohio Name of Property were listed in the directory and were heavily promoted in newspaper advertising. Many of the multi-family buildings, like Neal, are, in the context of their neighborhoods, part of a second wave of construction. Neal Terrace is a visually prominent building in the context of its surroundings.
Whereas the single-family housing surrounding these apartments can be characterized as late 19th century, the apartment buildings date from the Horse-drawn omnibuses were used on Detroit Avenue, beginning in the Civil War era. The opening of the Superior Viaduct in 1878 provided direct connection from Cleveland's central core out to Detroit Avenue and to the expanding commercial and residential areas of the west side. The 1881 atlas of Cleveland shows this water line running along Detroit Avenue. The Rocky River Railroad was in place through here as a narrow- gauge rail line that opened in 1868 connecting a summer resort community known as Clifton Park (NR 11/20/74) to downtown Cleveland. Passing across Detroit Avenue, in the vicinity of Neal's future location, it provided quick rail service to downtown Cleveland. In 1882 the railroad was merged into the New York, Chicago and St.
Louis Railroad and rebuilt to standard gauge, with a stop nearby along Detroit. This transportation node was reinforced when West Boulevard was created through here as a result of a park plan for the city by noted Boston landscape architect Ernest W. Bowditch. Mergers and consolidations beset the streetcar lines in the 1890s. On Cleveland's west side, the Brooklyn Street Railway Company became part of the Cleveland City Railway Company in 1893. In that sameyear, the South Side Railway Company became part of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company. A streetcar line was in place along Detroit Avenue through to service later that year between Cleveland and Toledo, using the tracks then in service on Detroit Avenue from Cleveland to Lorain. Shortly before Neal was built, Cleveland Mayor Tom L. Johnson established the five-cent fare on a modernized regional electrified mass transit system.
Cleveland City Railway Company in 1903 to operate streetcars throughout the city. In 1910 this line, merged with a newly formed municipal streetcar line to form the Cleveland Railway Company. Ridership climbed from 250 million in 1910 to 440 million by 1920, and then began a decline due to competition from the automobile and, later, the effects of the Great Depression. In 1917 the Detroit-Superior High Level Bridge opened which had two levels, automobiles above and streetcars below, addressing not only an increase in public transit but the city in 1942 and became the Cleveland Transit System. In 1955 CTS began rapid transit service along a line that ran right behind Neal Terrace, with a stop at nearby Detroit and West Boulevard.
The city transit system was taken over by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority in 1974, which continues to operate the rapid transit tracks through this neighborhood, as well as buses along Detroit Avenue. Criterion A Neal Terrace was an early and seminal example of the terrace-type brick apartment block that was briefly popular in the years from the turn-of-the-20th century until about the time of World War I. The terrace as a building type was an attempt to blend the privacy and floor plan of the single-family house with the economies of the apartment building. Like a single-family residence, the units at Neal have separate front and rear omnibuses. also the increased automobile traffic.
The Cleveland Railway Company, a private company, was taken over by The Cleveland Electric Railway Company, operator of streetcars along Detroit Avenue, merged with the what is now West Blvd. by 1892. The Lake Shore Electric Railway Company was organized in 1901 and began When many houses surrounding Neal Terrace were constructed, Detroit Avenue was served by horse-drawn Neal Terrace The significance of this property is in its place in the historical development of Cleveland multi-family housing.

Shared walls and porches provided cost savings, as did the concept of constructing a great number of units at the same time.
Residents achieved the advantages of masonry construction rarely found in single-family houses of that period in the surrounding The most distinctive feature of Neal is its arrangement of two blocks facing each other across a 75-foot lawn. Whereas apartment buildings and houses had their principal elevations facing public streets, Neal Terrace could create far more units than its site would otherwise permit. It also saved on the costs of installing a street, with particularly adapted to the creation of a long double-row terrace. Its unusually long lot was due to a rail line passing directly behind it, forming a barrier to further residential development that would connect Detroit via cross streets.
Also, the presence of a major transportation node, between streetcars and inner-city rail lines remains a distinct amenity for families with children, because it provided space for children to play where they can be observed by family and neighbors without the risk of mixing with through traffic, pedestrian or Neal Terrace is significant as an example of an apartment house type that is notable in the history of Cleveland. The Oppmann-Neal family produced Cleveland's two largest terrace complexes, making this residential type more prominent in the city than it otherwise would have been. Cities in the eastern United States, such as natural outgrowth of the typical rowhouses that were built along many city streets during the late 19th century.
Cleveland had a stronger tradition of single-family housing, with few rowhouses built during the late 19th According to the report "residential Vernacular Architecture in Cleveland 1870-1940", released by the Cleveland Landmarks Commission in August 1992, the largest terraces were located along the city's major east- west streetcar corridors, including Detroit Avenue. Terraces may be as small as four units and as large as the continuous row of 68 units that make up a section of Oppmann Terrace. Of the 20 terraces identified in the report, Neal Terrace is the second largest, at 48 units. The third largest is Bailey Terrace, 9407-11 Detroit, with 24 units, dating from 1904. The Ohio Apartments Multiple Property Documentation highlights Neal Terrace as a rare example of a double- row terrace apartment complex.

Yet, the terrace form quickly fell out of favor, such that it was not a significant factor in this area after the first decade of the 20th century. Rare upscale examples were erected such as Fairhill Road Village in Cleveland (NR 5/10/90), dating from 1928 from plans by Antonio DiNardo.
During the Depression, federally subsidized terrace housing was constructed in Cleveland, such as Lakeview Terrace, built 1935-37 from plans by Weinburg, Conrad & Teare. The principal reasons for the demise of terraces were the automobile and increasing affluence of America's middle class. The automobile lessened the need for denser developments like Neal that were close to public transportation. At the same time, the automobile created needs for parking and garages for which the terrace was not well suited. In response to this, large garages, since demolished, were erected southwest of Neal Terrace. Yet, they did not provide the security and convenience of individual garages, where cars could be repaired and other items stored.
The development of a mortgage market specifically tailored to the middle class combined with increasing wages to make individual housing affordable to growing numbers of American workers. As detailed in a 1903 report [v] on the fast-growing neighborhood of South Lorain, built to serve workers at the new U. S. Steel facility there, a house and lot costing $1,500 would require a cash payment of $75 and the balance payable at the rate of $15 per month. This meant the average worker could purchase their own frame house instead of renting a located a mile west of Neal Terrace, grew rapidly during this period. City zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations were evolving to prohibit dense developments such as terraces in favor of neighborhoods that were comprised solely of single-family houses. Greater Cleveland's first comprehensive zoning ordinance was enacted in Bay Village in 1920.
Other suburbs followed quickly and Cleveland adopted its own zoning code in 1929. Yet, before then, subdivision regulations were a common Neal Terrace was developed by C. J.

The projecting bay windows are a principal feature of the exterior, relieving what otherwise could be a monotonous long brick wall. In this situation, the bays are cantilevered out at their bases, with a recessed basement window below. They are of frame construction, in contrast to the red brick and they are capped by pyramidal roofs. The front porches are set between bay windows and each porch serves two units. The porches feature brick bases, concrete floors and metal columns, all of which date from 1965, and original wood cornices and tongue-and- groove sofffits.

He began work in 1898 as an architect for the National Electric Lamp Company. From 1893- 97 Uthe worked for Granger & Meade, and from 1898-1901 he worked for Meade & Garfield. Alfred Hoyt Granger (1867-1939), Frank B. Meade (1867-1947) and Abram Garfield (1872-1958) were among Cleveland's most prominent architects. Granger, who studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, became a well-known Chicago architect. From 1902-03 he worked for Watterson & Schneider. Charles Sumner Schneider (1874- 1932) later designed Stan Hywet, the residence of Akron industrialist Frank Seiberling. In 1904 Uthe worked Superior Building. He was not listed in the 1910 city directory.
Uthe is known to have designed three buildings, Neal Terrace, an industrial building at 1318 West 78th Street, and West Park Congregational Church. This unusual Shingle Style church at 4095 Rocky River Drive in Cleveland was built 1905-06 and featured in Ohio Architect & Builder's October 1905 issue. It was demolished in 1956. In 1935 Uthe was appointed construction engineer at Parsons Engineering Company. Later in life, he was associated with I. T. Frary (1873-1965). Working with Frary, Uthe supervised the drawings and sketches of historic houses and monuments throughout Ohio. He was a member of the Cleveland Architectural Club, First Congregational Church and was a Republican.
Uthe resided at 1252 East 80th Street and is buried in Analysis of Census Information on Neal Terrace Tenants The 1920 census provides insights into residents who lived at Neal Terrace about a dozen years after it was completed. Neal was fully occupied with 40 families and a total of 174 individuals living here. Heads of households ranged in age from people in their 20s to people in their 90s, with a majority of 38 in their 30s or 40s. A majority of 25 households were headed by people born in Ohio, with people born in Pennsylvania a distant second at 6 households. There were a wide range of occupations listed, and these indicate a solid middle class occupancy. The only occupation listed in any number was salesman/saleslady, with nine.
