Heard, Charles (architect)
Biography
Charles W. Heard was born in Onondaga, New York. He settled in Painesville and learned the carpentry trade. He married Carolyn Goldsmith, daughter of Master Builder Jonathan Goldsmith in 1830. They moved to Cleveland in 1833, about the time the Ohio and Erie Canal opened and Cleveland experienced its first substantial population and economic growth. It soon passed Painesville in population and opportunity. The first city directory in Cleveland in 1837 lists Charles Heard as a carpenter and joiner. The 1845 directory listed him as a Master Builder. In 1846 and 1847 he was in partnership with carpenter Warham Warner. The 1850 City Directory shows him in the firm of Heard and Porter, architects and builders. That partnership lasted until 1864. He formed a partnership with his son-in-law Walter Blythe that lasted from 1866 to 1871. From 1871 to the end of his life in 1876 he was the principle in the firm of Heard and Sons, when his sons Lucas Allen and Charles W. Heard Jr. joined the firm. He was active in the community serving as a member of the Board of Education and the Board of Alderman.He lived at 32 Euclid Street. His wife Caroline died on January 9, 1851. They had eight children; the youngest, Lucas Allen, was five when she died. By 1870 the census showed that his real estate was valued at $80,000 and that his seven adult children and two servants were living with him on Euclid Avenue. He died in 1876 leaving the unmarried children use of his home for seven years.
