Cleveland Restoration Society invites its members to a SNOOP! tour at Providence House (the historic Weizer Building).
The event will be held at the historic Weizer building, once a cornerstone of the neighborhood’s Hungarian community. Providence House, a social service nonprofit who purchased the building six years ago, invested $16 million – the largest private development along this corridor in more than 30 years – to preserve this landmark and adapt it to support children and families in crisis.
To accommodate growing need and limited space at their West Campus, Providence House selected the Weizer building as its East Campus, close to where 70 percent of its families live. Architect David DiFrancesco, AIA, LEED BD + C, principal at Hiti, DiFrancesco and Seibold Architects, led the adaptive reuse.
The East Campus now includes a Family Resiliency Center, community spaces and administrative offices, along with an adjacent, newly constructed 20-bed Crisis Nursery, completed in 2023.
David DiFrancesco and CRS Trustee Greg Frost, president of Frost Architectural Preservation, Inc., will discuss the restoration and Providence House President and CEO Natalie A. Leek will share her organization’s story, and her staff will lead tours.
Convenient parking is available in the adjacent parking lot or along E 118th Street.
