      • Samuel Andrews Mansion, 3001 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, USA(Interiors of what became known as "Andrews's Folly," a Euclid Ave. home of between 80 - 100 rooms. Shortly after taking up residence, the family left the home virtually vacant for the next 40 years. In 1919, it was used to shoot two feature films directed by filmmaker Samuel Brodsky and playwright Robert McLaughlin. In 1920, it was converted into Brodsky's Cleveland film studio. When Brodsky switched his focus back to the Plain Dealer Screen Magazine in 1922, he gave up the property, which was demolished in 1923.)
