 "Although very little remains of the Glenallen Estate, a few remnants are still visible on the original land plot. The remnants include:

  • The stone wall that runs along Mayfield Road.
  • The stone pier at the southeast corner of the Lutheran East property.
  • A bridge behind a home on Glen Allen Road.
  • A low stonewall behind the homes on the south side of the streets near the intersection of Woodridge and Edison Roads.
  • An old farmhouse at 3555 Birch Tree Path "
The above paragraph is an excerpt from the Cleveland Memory Project's webpage about Glenallen the name of Elisabeth Severance Allen Prentiss's estate that was located on Mayfield where Lutheran East and the Bluestone development are now. The webpage includes a link to the Cleveland Heights Historical Society's page about Glenallen.
 
The next time you drive down Mayfield you may want to try looking for the stone pier at the southeast corner of the Lutheran East property. Here's a picture of what it looked like originally.
 
This is just one of the Severance Estates that forms part of our community's rich and wonderful history.
