Millionaires' Row was a four-mile stretch of Euclid Avenue starting at Public Square. At the height of its grandeur in the late 1800s and early 1900s it was called “the most beautiful street in America,” and was home to stunning mansions belonging to Cleveland’s most influential families. Some of those names are still familiar today – Rockefeller, Hanna, Mather, Wade and Gund to name a few.
