Euclid residents may know the building at 445 East 200th Street as the home of Decker Appliance.  But before the building was occupied by a local appliance-repair company, it housed the Euclid Police Department and Court House.

The City’s police and court operations were moved to the site in 1929 after a fire destroyed the original location at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Chardon Road.

The Euclid Landmark Commission recognized the historical significance of the Decker Appliance building by designating the property a Euclid Landmark on September 10, 2015.

Rebecca McFarland, Chair of the Landmark Commission, presented a bronze plaque manufactured by the Family Bronze Company of Cleveland, Ohio to the building owners at the Euclid City Council meeting on December 21, 2015.

The Decker Appliance Service Company was founded in 1940 by Paul Decker.  In 1965, the company was purchased by Arnold Ayers.  Still family owned and operated, the Ayers family is celebrating their 50th anniversary as owners of Decker Appliance.
