Imagine the Possibilities…
Lakewood Hospital Campus
Some Alternative Ideas
Several Groups Have Weighed In—Several Options Have Been Considered
Suggestions Have Been Made…
Director Siley has suggested moving the new Cleveland Clinic buildings to the land west of the current hospital
Mayor Summers has suggested healthcare and housing for “the next century”
Councilman Bullock has suggested a “state-of-the-art” iconic building with drawing power
‘Save Lakewood Hospital’ and ‘Build Lakewood’ have suggested alternative plans for healthcare
Final Selection Should: Leverage Lakewood’s Heritage
Uphold and build upon the “Brand” differences Lakewood has over other western suburbs Preserve/Re-purpose Lakewood’s older buildings Maintain walkability of Lakewood Promote increased foot traffic in Lakewood’s downtown area
While providing a healthcare (and economic) model to take Lakewood
into the next Century
Current Site
Two, large areas for development:
• Eastern• Western
Envisioning the Western Property
What are the possibilities?• A new, state-of-the-art ER and
• Family Health and Wellness Center
State-of-the-Art Emergency Room on St. Charles
Could it be the iconic building envisioned by Councilman Bullock?
Community Wellness Center on St. Charles
Envisioning theEastern Property
1. Maintain the Curtis Block Building
2. Maintain a Portion of the existing hospital (two options):
1. The original 1907 building
2. A portion of the 1939 addition
3. Provide new, alternative housing
So What Could A New Hospital Campus Include?• A Boutique Hotel
• New Retail
• Restored Apartments
• New Alternative Housing
Hotel Market Report, Lakewood
January 3, 2013
The historic Scofield Building on East Ninth is currently undergoing an adaptive re-use as a luxury hotel/apartments.
Scofield Building Circa 1902
Lakewood Hospital Circa 1921
Option 1—Convert the oldest part of the Hospital building to a hotel
After all, hospitals consist of rooms and bathrooms…and so do hotels! A boutique hotel would promote Lakewood tourism on weekends…shopping and dining at Lakewood’s unique retailers and restaurants

HOTEL LAKEWOOD
Hotel Lakewood--Financial Potential
• 60 Rooms @ $120 per night at 60% occupancy would yield almost $1.6 million in annual revenue exclusive of any on premise dining
• Additional employees• Additional tax dollars to City
HOTEL
LAKEWOOD
Option 2--Convert the 1939 expanded Hospital Building to a hotel and apartments
• If a developer thinks the Boutique Hotel project is too small to be economically feasible, then expand it to include apartments in the 1939 Hospital Building
Similar to the Bailey Building, the 1939 hospital façade was covered in 1971
Also similar to the Bailey Building, the original façade can be exposed and restored…retaining it’s original character

Maintain Curtis Block
Five Retail Storefronts and Five 2-Bedroom Apartments
Part of the fabric of Downtown Lakewood Located at one of only several remaining intersections with original
streetcar-era commercial buildings on all four corners, the Curtis Block is one of the most architecturally significant and intact buildings in Lakewood
Quite possibly, no single family has had a greater impact on the development of Lakewood than the Hall family—the original owners of the Curtis Block
Some notable local businesses rented retail space including: Fischer Bros. Grocers Morbitzer Bakery, (Plain Dealer records show they also rented an
apartment in the building) Tische’s Cake Shoppe
Curtis Block, Then and Now
Little has changed outside the Curtis Block since 1913…
Little has changed inside the Curtis Block
All five Apartments have features that appeal to today’s renters:• Fireplaces with the original mantels • Natural oak floors and trim• Original windows in good condition• Original hex tile bathroom flooring • Claw-footed tubs (in three units) • Original kitchen cabinets (in all but one unit)
Curtis Block, FutureNew retailers, ranging from national chains to local mom & pop shopsNew apartment tenants
Mix of National and Local Retailers
These national retailers are pre-disposed to locating in older buildings:• Banana Republic• 7-Eleven• Urban Outfitters• Athleta
Curtis Block, Financial Potential
• Five retail storefronts generating sales and employing people• Five, 2-bedroon apartments generating rent of $1,000-$1,400 per
month/per unit for the owner, increasing property taxes and income taxes for the City
• $27,000 or more every year in property tax; new payroll and income tax revenue
South of the Hotel…Bungalow Village
• Between 1908 and 1940, about 70,000 Sears homes were sold…during the era when housing in Lakewood was exploding
• New, 1½-floor residences
• Embodies the vision of Mayor Summers to accommodate the living needs our Lakewood’s aging population
South of the Hotel…Bungalow Village• New, floor-and-a-half Bungalows with first floor Master Suites• 8-10 Individual designs, each unique• Built upon the heritage of the existing Lakewood housing stock
Bungalow Village—Economic Potential

Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation
Preservation is a powerful tool in sustaining local economy, creating jobs, and even generating capital. The aesthetic, cultural and historical benefits of preservation are well known, but now, communities are realizing there are positive economic effects too.

Cultural Benefits of Historic Preservation
Architecture is one aspect of heritage which be adapted. Some buildings have specific historic context and must be meticulously and exactly preserved. Most buildings, however, must be lived in, interacted with and maintained. These buildings change with us, thus recording a piece of each generation’s story. We have an obligation to respect this community resource and preserve it for future generations.
