Brothers, Robert and Norman Mays will help serve as tour guides to share family history.

Located at 2225 and 2229 East 46th Street in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood, these landmark structures from the 1870s were originally erected by Andrew Dall, Jr. and his brother, James, sons of master mason Andrew Dall, Sr. For over 40 years, James and Frances Mays owned and cared for the houses, making one their home, and renting the other, always honoring and respecting the Dall history. The Cleveland Restoration Society has been working diligently alongside the Mays family to stabilize and save these severely threatened homes from demolition.

The Dall-Mays houses are not fully clear of environmental and safety hazards. Attendees must wear closed-toed shoes and take precautions when viewing the properties. There are no restrooms on the premises; please plan accordingly.

At check-in, a CRS staff member will provide you a mask, or you may bring your own due to potential environmental hazards and as a safeguard against COVID-19. This is for your safety. You must also sign a waiver and be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 to participate. 

This tour is weather-dependent. You will be notified, by e-mail, two (2) hours in advance of start time or by 8 a.m., of cancellation.
