Wickliffe, OH, 44092 US / OH
Location Description
Originally called "Coulallenby", the mansion was built by Harry C. Coulby. The building is situated on a beautiful 54-acre estate. Mr. Coulby served as Wickliffe's first mayor. Construction was started in 1913 and completed in 1915 at a cost of over $1 million dollars. Around the mansion are formal gardens, a pond, the former cow barn, a gatehouse and a public park with a nature trail. At the turn of the century, Wickliffe was home to many millionaire businessmen, including Harry C. Coulby, Fergus B. Squire, Frank Rockefeller and the Corrigan family. Until 1954 when the City of Wickliffe purchased Coulby for its municipal offices, the house had several other owners, including being used as a Catholic girls' school. Thankfully, previous owners did not damage many of the homes original fixtures, such as chandeliers, skylight, wallpaper, and hand-carved woodwork and hardware.
