Recapturing Cleveland's glorious past in true Millionaire's Row style, Sammy's University Club impresses all with its splendidly restored grand ballroom, romantic terrace and elegance. Built as a private residence in 1866, the Stager-Beckwith Mansion became the University Club in 1913 and has been the center of social, business and community events. After an investment of over $10 million in renovations and upgrades, this stunning 15 room mansion is even more conducive to hosting your wedding, banquet or meeting & conference. The Sammy's University Club has over 66,000 square feet of special event space.

This is the beautiful home of Myers University. This incredibly beautiful space will engage, energize and inspire any group. Sammy's is honored to be at your service at Sammy's University Club.

Timeline

1866 -  Colonel Anson Stager spent $60,000 to design and build the mansion—consisting of 15 rooms and some 10,000 square feet—for use as a personal residence. Col. Stager was the General Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and had served in the Civil War as the Chief of the U.S. Military Telegraph.
  
1874 - Col. Stager sold the residence to Thomas Sterling Beckwith, a well-known area merchant dealing in dry goods. In 1857, Mr. Beckwith and his brother opened the first store in Cleveland dealing exclusively in the sale of carpets. Their business, as well as another firm also dealing in carpets, soon absorbed all the carpet business in the area, and local dry goods merchants stopped handling that line of product in their stores.
  
1900 - Beckwith sold the residence to a neighbor, Charles Brush, the inventor of the first commercial electrical arc light. The Brush Electric Company had previously been sold and merged with the Edison General Electric Company.
  
1913 - Brush sold the property to the University Club, who remodeled and enlarged the mansion, and used it as a social gathering place for civic events and private parties.
  
2002 - University Club sold the property to a group of private investors.
  
2003 - August 7 - Official ground-breaking ceremony attended by some 325 guests, including the Mayor of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County Commissioners and other dignitaries. Private Partnership announced a $10 million plan to renovate the property.
  
2004 -
