Beach Cliff II History:
Before it was developed as a residential community in the early 20th century, much of the land comprising Beach Cliff II was owned by businessman and congressman Clifton Bailey Beach (1845-1902).
In 1888, after living in Cleveland for most of his life, Clifton Bailey Beach purchased 427 acres in northwest Rocky River, which included a mile of Lake Erie shoreline. Beach’s property stretched from Bradstreet’s Landing Park to Falmouth Drive, and from Lake Erie’s shoreline south to Detroit Road. The stone gateposts flanking the entrance to the former Beach estate have been preserved at the corner of Detroit Road and Erie Road (pictured below).
In 1912 following his death, a clocktower was commissioned at Avalon Drive and Lake Road as an ornamental entrance to the Beach estate. The clock tower was rebuilt in 1987 after being destroyed by a storm in 1956.
When Beach’s heirs decided to subdivide his estate in 1917, a lakefront section was held in trust for the benefit of the new property owners, known today as Wagar Beach.
As announced in the March 13, 1917 issue of Ohio Architect Engineer and Builder (Volume 29, No 11), “The entire village of Rocky River has been purchased by a syndicate of Cleveland capitalists at an outlay of several million dollars. The purchase includes Oakwood-on-the-Lake and the Clifton Beach estate including 500 acres… improvements will include widening the boulevards along one and one-half miles of lake front, installing new sewers and water systems and adding new features which will make this section an ideal community of suburban homes.”
The new residential community was named Beach Cliff Estates, in honor of Clifton Beach. The neighborhood included additional land extending to the north and east (Beach Cliff I neighborhood). Today, the southern section of Beach Cliff between Lake and Detroit roads is called Beach Cliff II.
