Completed in 1910, the Mather Mansion is a 45-room Tudor Revival residence designed by prominent Cleveland architect Charles F. Schweinfurth for shipping and ore mining magnate Samuel Livingston Mather II. The home, which echoes the style of English country gentry, sits prominently on Euclid Avenue near East 30th Street. Its interior features a ballroom with 16-foot ceilings and the property originally included sunken gardens. One of the last surviving mansions on Euclid Avenue—a street that saw many grand estates demolished for new development—the mansion has been owned by Cleveland State University since 1967 and underwent renovation in 2006–2007. It is a contributing property to the Euclid Avenue Historic District and appears on the National Register of Historic Places.
