Cleveland Heights Country Club Selling Furnishings Before Being Converted

The Oakwood Country Club will begin selling all of its furnishings Wednesday before converting into a junior high and high school for boys, reported Cleveland.com.

So if you want to own a piece of Cleveland Heights history, or just really want to look at some fancy stuff, head down to 1516 Warrensville Center Road.

The clubhouse and surrounding property were purchased by the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland last year, which intends to preserve the architecture of the historic building the website said. The sale is expected to help pay for the conversion that will support an estimated 100 students and scholars.

The country club, once the first Jewish club in the Cleveland area, closed in 2010. The club was founded in 1905 by L.J. Wolf, Morris A. Black, Edward M. Baker, Hascal C. Lang, and M.J. Mandelbaum and the nine-hole golf course opened the following year, according to the history blog Clevelandareahistory.com. The clubhouse structure itself was completed in 1907.

Greenwald Antiques of Beachwood and Woodmere will be handling the sale, one of the largest for the business, Cleveland.com reported. A photo gallery shows items for sale ranging from smaller furnishings like plates, glasses and paintings to larger ones like chairs, couches and a piano.

The sale runs until Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, according to a Nextdoor.com posting, with prices varying from low to high.
