Shaker Heights’s Housing History and Character
Shaker Heights takes its name from the North Union Shaker community that farmed the land from 1822 to 1889, before the Van Sweringen brothers began buying up the property in 1909 to build a planned garden suburb, incorporating it in 1912 and opening the Shaker Rapid Transit line to downtown Cleveland in 1920.
What Plumbing Service Looks Like in Shaker Heights
The Van Sweringens' deliberately upscale, carefully detailed homes from that era were built with plumbing systems meant to last generations, but a century on, even well-built original supply and drain lines are due for a careful evaluation.
