Clevelanders are well aware of Franklin Castle. We all grew up hearing local legends regarding the site, but the reality is that the entirety of Franklin Boulevard is rich with a fascinating history.

The gorgeous Robert Rhodes Mansion, located at the intersection of Franklin and Fulton, has served as a juvenile detention home, nursing home, and school to the Franklin Circle Christian Church where a U.S. president once served as a pastor, is just one example of the nearly endless history in this pretty district. The mansion has housed some of Cleveland’s most prestigious residents over the decades, and now, for a night, it can be your home, too. Prepare to travel back in time in style, because we’re about to unwind in one of the loveliest mansions in Cleveland.

Welcome to the intriguing Wallace Manor Bed & Breakfast.
