History

Established in 2015.

Once the most exquisite home in Painesville built for the wealthy business man, George W. Steele. The mansion was heavily damaged by fire in January 2001 and never fixed. Since then it has deteriorated to the point of near being beyond repair. Ten years of neglect, vandalism and unsheltered exposure to the elements ruined the majority of the interior. We have had the building cleared of the garbage and fallen debris and it has been determined to be structurally sound. Though nearly everything in the inside of the building is destroyed, our intentions are to rebuild the mansion to closely resemble its appearance in the past. Our intentions are to make the Steele Mansion the most exquisite building once again.
