  • The Collinwood School Fire of 1908
    H. F. Wendell Company, Leipsic, Ohio Mourning Card, 1902 ca. 1920 Gilt printing on white card stock; 4 ¼ x 6 ½ inches The mourning, or memorial, card reprinted on the cover was used by the funeral industry from 1902 to around 1920. Mourning cards became popular during the Victorian era and were often kept as reminders of lost friends or family members. Cards for children were typically printed on white cardboard, whereas cards for older people were printed on black cardboard. In reprinting this original card, the Library made no changes except for the wording in the center box, which typically would have contained the name of the deceased along with his or her birth and death dates. Reproduced courtesy of the Museum of Funeral Customs, Springfield, Illinois, www.funeralmuseum.org The Last Lesson Cleveland Plain Dealer, 6 March 1908 In Loving Remembrance: The Collinwood School Fire of 1908 An exhibit prepared by the History & Geography Department, Cleveland Public Library The Collinwood School Fire remains the worst school building fire in U.S. history. This is perhaps due to the heightened consciousness regarding fire safety following the disaster, but more concretely to the stricter building codes, better construction materials and lifesaving devices which came into use after the fire. A century-old myth holds that the students at Collinwood died because they were trapped behind doors that opened inward. This was quickly proven to be false, but the myth gained traction and is repeated to this day. It was the narrowness of the exit stairs and inner vestibule doorway, combined with the panic of the children as they rushed to escape, that led to their entrapment.

There are bulldozers and piles of gravel and construction workers. What’s so creative about that?

  • Ohio Regional Sustainable Communities Program, of Which the City of Cleveland Is a Key Participant
    REIMAGINING & RESHAPING CLEVELAND Community Challenge Planning Grant Application PROJECT DESCRIPTION Overview. The “Reimagining & Reshaping Cleveland” project will create a plan and strategy to remake Cleveland as a smaller but sustainable and economically vital urban center. Cleveland’s new land use pattern will intensify development in targeted mixed-use, walkable, transit-accessible districts, while re-purposing excess land for open space uses such as local food production, greenways, storm water management, neighborhood stabilization, yard expansion, parks and renewable energy generation. The plan will answer the question being faced by many so-called “shrinking cities” across the country: “How can an urban center that has lost half its population maintain and even strengthen the characteristics that make for great urban places – density, diversity, cohesiveness, walkability, livability, a mix of uses, and transit access?” The plan will build on the work of the recently completed “Reimagining a More Sustainable Cleveland” vacant land re-use project and will be coordinated with Cleveland’s “Sustainability 2019” initiative as well as the ongoing Northeast Ohio Regional Sustainable Communities Program, of which the City of Cleveland is a key participant. Most importantly, the plan will focus on achievable outcomes that translate recent research on the future of “transitioning” cities into innovative action-oriented programs, collaborations, strategies and regulatory reforms. The plan will include citywide elements as well as district-specific elements. The district-specific elements of the plan will be designed to apply the citywide principles and recommendations to particular neighborhoods and districts as demonstration projects that can be replicated elsewhere in Cleveland and in comparable situations in other cities across the nation.

  • The Collinwood School Fire Tragedy and Its Impact on Fire Safety
    Collinwood’s Call to Action: The Collinwood School Fire Tragedy and Its Impact on Fire Safety Ehren Collins Historical Paper Junior Division Word Count: 2498 On March 4, 1908, a massive fire erupted in an elementary school in Collinwood, Ohio, killing 172 children and three adults. Though the children attended a relatively new school, their building and its inadequate fire protection contributed significantly to the loss of innocent lives. This horrific tragedy in a small Ohio town awoke the entire nation to the inadequacy of fire safety practices in schools, sparking a call to action to standardize fire safety measures and impel city and state governments to implement safety features lacking in Ohio schools and schools across the country. From this tragedy, the entire nation took notice, setting in motion an era of redevelopment of fire safety measures, still credited to the Collinwood disaster today. Collinwood was a small town established in 1874 just east of Cleveland. The town began as a single railroad stop chosen by the Lakeshore and Michigan Southern Railway Company given its central location between Buffalo and Toledo. The establishment of the Collinwood Rail Yards attracted immigrants seeking jobs in the railroad industry. Collinwood grew into a diverse ethnic community, housing large Italian, Irish, and Slovenian populations (“South Collinwood” 1). By 1899, Collinwood had its own school system, newspaper, six churches, plentiful business, and even an amusement park. In 1901, a small, four story school was built on Collamer Street in North Collinwood. Lake View School was updated in 1907, adding four rooms to the rear of the building (“In Loving Remembrance” 1-2) (See Appendix 1).
