Part 10/12:
In 1924, the Drury family sold their Euclid Avenue mansion and moved to a sprawling 155-acre estate in Gates Mills, called Cedar Hill Farm. This Tudor Revival manor, nearly one and a half times larger and featuring 41 rooms with 14 fireplaces, was designed as a bucolic retreat. However, Drury’s focus on leisure at Cedar Hill proved short-lived; he reportedly only resided there for a year due to disagreements with Cleveland’s social circles about his rural pursuits.
Despite this, Cedar Hill became an emblem of his dreams of a pastoral haven. Drury spent his remaining years at other residences, including a winter home in Georgia, before passing away at 81 in 1932.
