Caesar Grasselli had the Meade & Hamilton-designed house at 18800 South Park built for his daughters Ida and Josephine. In the early 1900s, Meade and Hamilton were the leading domestic architects in the Cleveland area and designed at least two additional residences for the Grasselli family in Shaker Heights on South Park Boulevard. The main house was demolished in 1966 with only the carriage house remaining today.Category
