| A view of downtown Cleveland from Edgewater Park, just a three-minute walk from your apartment |
Rarely has an apartment complex been so highly acclaimed. Never have buildings in the moderate
rental range been so architecturally celebrated.
The Breakers Apartments and Edgewater Park Manor are located in a tree-shaded, park setting at the edge of of Cleveland's
West Shoreway. Situated on beautiful Lake Avenue, immediately east of West Boulevard, the buildings have an unobstructed view
of Edgewater Park, with bathing beach, picnic pavillion, jogging trails and water sports facilities just a three-minute walk
to the north.
Designed by the renowned architect Alfred W. Harris, the buildings were constructed about 1920, when timeless hand craftsmanship
was at its height, as European artisans brought with them the talents of their forebears. As evidence, you will notice beautiful
hand-carved woods, sculpted ornamental plaster moldings, classic gargoyles and scrolled masonry trim rarely found in 20th
century structures.
Major Harris served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War I. While stationed in Europe, he was exposed
to English and French architecture, which influenced his later work. He believed that English architecture should be showcased
in this country, most effectively in large apartment complexes. The Breakers and Edgewater Park Manor manifest this rich style.

| Spacious suites provide hardwood floors, large windows and pleasant dining areas |
Over the years, these architectural treasure-troves have been occupied by
some of Cleveland's famous and storied heroes--judges, sportsmen, educators, and civil servants like Elliot Ness, the renowned
policeman, law director, and finally, the ultimate Untouchable.
The two contiguous buildings contain a total of 76
suites, of which 36 are located in the Breakers, and 40 in Edgewater Park Manor. Each building is equipped with an elevator,
a large laundry room, and a commodious lobby area. A private garden court is situated between the two buildings.
