E. H. Close Realty Company
In 1909, after E. H. Close left the George E. Pomeroy Company, he established the E. H. Close Company.[1][2] Close had played a significant part in what was then suburban development in and around Toledo, Ohio; these developments included most notably Harvard Terrace and Ottawa Hills, but also the lesser known developments of Halsted Heights, Hillcrest Gardens, Homewood Park, Home Acres, and others.[2][3]
"The day of cramped, crowded city lots is passing
and the movement toward the suburbs
is more pronounced now."
- E. H. Close, 1910 [4]
