Charles Friedrich Schweinfurth (1856-1919) was considered on of Cleveland Ohio's premiere architects and designed many of the city's finest residences, churches, and educational buildings. After graduating from high school in1872, Schweinfurth worked at architectural offices in New York City before relocating to Cleveland as the architect of Sylvester T. Everett's Euclid Avenue mansion. By 1910, Schweinfurth had completed at least fifteen residential designs for clients on Euclid Avenue's "Millionaire's Row." Schweinfurth also remodeled the interiors of the Old Stone Church,the Calvary Presbyterian Church, and the Trinity Cathedral and Parish House. The four landmark stone bridges crossing Martin Luther King Boulevard are also Schweinfurth designs. The Schweinfurth House, located at East 75th Street, was built by Schweinfurth in 1894 and was used as his residence until his death in 1919. From 1929-1969, the house was used as the William L. Wagner and Son Funeral Home. The building was acquired in 1970 by Richard Van Petten and Dale Smith who restored the home into a residence. In 1973, the Schweinfurth House was entered into the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service and declared an Historical Architectural Landmark in 1974 by the Cleveland Landmarks Commission.
