The Lake Erie coastline in Lakewood, from the Gold Coast to Lakewood Catholic Academy, has changed dramatically during the last half-century. According to a 1912 Platbook of the City of Cleveland and Suburbs (vol. 2, plate 28), approximately 20 individuals owned rectangular parcels that stretched from Lake Avenue to the Lake Erie shore. Many of the area’s most affluent and well-connected citizens constructed homes along the lake, from summer retreats to castle-like mansions. Alexander Winton, the automaker, constructed his estate called "Roseneath" at 12906 Lake Avenue, near the current site of Winton Place. From east to west, estates named "Waterside", "Lake Cliff", "Rock Bluff", "North Anchorage", "Rosecliff", and "Beechwood" were interspersed among the more famous estates of Winton, Theodor Kundtz, Robert Rhodes, and the Sisters of Charity of Saint Augustine. While many of the smaller estates were sold and subdivided prior to the 1950s, the site of Winton’s "Roseneath" became Winton Place in 1963. Kundtz’s mansion, "The Castle", at 13826 Edgewater Drive, stood until 1961 when it was torn down for the sixteen Kirtland Lane homes. Robert Rhodes’ estate, now Lakewood Park, was torn down in 1959 after serving multiple purposes including Lakewood City Hall. The land owned by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Augustine is now the current site of Lakewood Catholic Academy.
