LYNDHURST, Ohio -- When Legacy Village opened in 2003, it was Northeast Ohio's first outdoor mall, and 60 percent of the stores were new to the region.

Next year, the 67-acre property will also house Lyndhurst's first hotel, Hyatt Place, a Capital Grille steakhouse and L.L. Bean.

But before the corner of Cedar and Richmond Roads became a grocery-gym-shopping-eating-center, two sprawling estates owned by well-known Clevelanders, Chester and Frances Payne Bolton, and two generations of the Dudley S. and Elizabeth Blossom family occupied the property.

A history of the estates and Legacy Village:
