Mooreland Mansion at Lakeland Community College

Mooreland Mansion is a historic event center on the campus of Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio. Originally built as a summer estate for Cleveland financier Edward William Moore, the neo-classical mansion was designed by architect Arthur N. Oviatt and later expanded in 1906 by Milton Dyer. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the mansion underwent a $3 million renovation before reopening in 1998 as a venue for meetings, conferences, banquets, and special events. The mansion's first-floor rooms retain many original details, from the wood-paneled Foyer and its original grandfather clock to the President's Living Room, which still holds an original Steinway grand piano and brick fireplace. The Oviatt Room can be arranged as a banquet space, dance floor, classroom, or auditorium, while the Restoration Room features a bar salvaged from Moore's private railroad car. The South Verandah, a covered outdoor porch, accommodates seating, a dance floor, and cocktail-hour high-top tables overlooking the grounds. Upstairs, several rooms furnished with original Moore family pieces serve meetings and conferences. The estate's grounds include three distinct gardens - a Rose Garden with roughly 1,000 roses, a Green Garden built on a former tennis court, and a Formal Garden blending Victorian geometry with English cottage style - maintained by the Mooreland Restoration Garden Club and used as a backdrop for events and photography.
