Short History of Moreland Courts

Originally the 1922 concept of famed Chicago architect Alfred W. Harris and finished by Philip L. Small and the Van Sweringen brothers, the brilliant planners and developers of Shaker Heights and Shaker Square, Moreland Courts has been the premier address in Cleveland for nearly 80 years.

Moreland Courts is home to corporate CEO's, Cleveland orchestra members, Case Western Reserve University professors, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospital physicians, and many others. All have in common their appreciation of the building and the environs.

The stunning architectural detail of Moreland Courts includes a virtual walk through five English architectural periods—Late Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Georgian. Every suite has beautiful working fireplaces, original hardwood floors, crown molding, millwork, plaster ceilings, ample closet space, and individually controlled radiator thermostats. Moreland Courts consists of fifteen individual connected buildings, four of which being 6- or 8-story towers, with 147 units of varying sizes, spanning an entire residential block (1500 feet of frontage) along Shaker Boulevard. Moreland Courts has been a condominium since 1978 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.
