The Theodor Kundtz Co. building was recently
added to the National Register of Historic Places. Built in
1914 and enlarged in 1924, this four- and six-story brick
building in the city’s Flats area was part of the plant
of the Theodor Kundtz co., specialist in woodworking, carving,
casework and sewing-machine cabinets. Kundtz made woodwork
for local landmarks like Trinity Cathedral and the Cuyahoga
County Courthouse and later became part of White Sewing Machine
Co. Theodor Kundtz built and lived in a grand mansion on Lake
Ave. in Lakewood.
