The Space:

Step inside the Weldon Davis House — a genuine 1895 landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. This is one of two residences built on the street for Weldon Davis, an important food broker at the turn of the 20th century. It was designed by noted local architect Charles Edmund Tousley, and completed in 1895. From the iconic Victorian turret and wraparound front porch to the ornate plaster ceilings and original woodwork inside, this is one of Cleveland's most architecturally distinctive homes. The main house and lower suite together sleep 12 guests across 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with two full kitchens, two living areas, and private outdoor spaces.
