TIM COLLINS c/o Dunham Tavern Museum 6709 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44103 DAVID WAGNER c/o Dunham Tavern Museum 6709 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44103 Defendants, And DUNHAM TAVERN MUSEUM 6709 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44103 Nominal Defendant. I. Introduction 1. The Dunham Tavern Museum (“DTM”) was once a stagecoach stop in Cleveland, Ohio on the road between Buffalo, New York and Detroit, Michigan. Today it is the oldest building still Electronically Filed 05/30/2019 11:21 / / CV 19 916042 / Confirmation Nbr. 1723534 / CLJSZ standing on its original site in Cleveland, a designated Cleveland Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a museum campus designed “in stark contrast to the cityscape that surrounds it,” to “offer a glimpse of history and insight into the lifestyles of early Ohio settlers and travelers.” 2. Between 2012 and 2017, the Museum raised over $700,000 in a campaign to purchase and restore 2.28 acres of land (the “Greenspace”) that were a part of the original Dunham Tavern property, consistent with the organization’s stated mission and vision to “preserve, develop, and share historical Dunham Tavern Museum and its campus as an educational and cultural resource,” “provide an urban green space in Midtown Cleveland, and to return the Tavern to its roots by serving as a place for urban history, education, nature, and community.” 3. Shortly thereafter, Defendants Collins and Wagner, two members of the DTM board of trustees—who are also local businessmen who regularly profit from their involvement in transactions in the Cleveland real estate market—began to orchestrate the sale of the newly acquired Greenspace to the Cleveland Foundation, through its proxy, LASSI Enterprises, LLC, for use as the site of Cleveland Foundation’s new headquarters. This sale—for which there was no apparent need or demand by the organization—was purportedly approved by a vote by the DTM board on May 14, 2019. 4. Collins, Wagner, and certain other DTM board members who voted to approve the transaction stand to profit personally and financially from the proposed sale. Thus, their involvement in the transaction renders it void under the DTM bylaws, which expressly prohibit board members from voting on matters in which they have a conflict of interest or conflict of responsibility. 5. Certain other DTM board members voted to approve the transaction despite being further ineligible to do so pursuant to the Bylaws’ requirement that all voting trustees be dues-paying members of the DTM in good standing. Electronically Filed 05/30/2019 11:21 / / CV 19 916042 / Confirmation Nbr. 1723534 / CLJSZ 6. To date, the Board has failed and refused to take corrective action on behalf of DTM despite the requests of Plaintiffs—who are DTM trustees and members—that the Board declare the proposed sale void and unenforceable under the Bylaws. 7. Thus, Plaintiffs bring this derivative action on behalf of the Dunham Tavern Museum to remedy the board’s actions, driven by the individual Defendants for their own personal financial benefit, in unlawfully authorizing the sale of the Greenspace. II. Parties 8. Derivative Plaintiff and Nominal Defendant DTM is an Ohio not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of Ohio, located at 6709 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44103, between East 69th and East 66th Streets. 9. Plaintiff Christeen Tuttle resides in Cuyahoga County, is a trustee and Second Vice President of the Board. Ms. Tuttle is now and has at all relevant times been a DTM shareholder, or, member in good standing. 10. Plaintiff Richard Parke resides in Cuyahoga County, and is now and has at all relevant times been a DTM shareholder or member in good standing. 11. Plaintiff Ted Peterson resides in Geauga County, and is now and has at all relevant times been a DTM shareholder or member in good standing. 12. Defendant Tim Collins is a trustee and President of the Board, and a DTM shareholder or member. 13. Defendant David Wagner is a trustee and a DTM shareholder or member. 14. Through their positions as DTM trustees, Defendants Collins and Wagner are in a fiduciary position with respect to the Plaintiffs, Nominal Defendant DTM, and other similarly situated DTM trustees and shareholders. III. Jurisdiction and Venue 15. Venue is proper in this Court under Civ.R.3, because the actions at issue in this Complaint Electronically Filed 05/30/2019 11:21 / / CV 19 916042 / Confirmation Nbr. 1723534 / CLJSZ occurred in Cuyahoga County, are centered in Cuyahoga County, where the DTM is located, and one or more of the Defendants, including the DTM, resides in Cuyahoga County. IV. Factual Allegations A. Between 2012 and 2017, the Dunham Tavern Museum acquired and developed adjacent land to create and preserve a greenspace in furtherance of the Museum’s stated mission and vision. 16. DTM’s Bylaws, amended and adopted in June 2016, expressly state that the mission of the organization is “to preserve, develop, and share historical Dunham Tavern Museum and its campus as an educational and cultural resource.” See Amended and Restated Organizational Bylaws, attached as Exhibit 1, Article I, Sections 5 (the “Bylaws”). 17. The Bylaws further provide that the organization’s “vision” is to “provide an urban green space in Midtown Cleveland, and to return the Tavern to its roots by serving as a place for urban history, education, nature, and community.” Id., Article I, Section 6. 18. In or about 2012, in furtherance of this mission and vision, DTM acquired 2.28 acres of adjoining urban land located at 6611 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44103 (the “Greenspace”). 19. In April 2012, DTM began a capital campaign to raise money to develop the Greenspace. The new campaign was entitled “Dunham GreenSpace: A vision for the future.” See Greenspace Plan, attached as Exhibit 2. 20. DTM intended to demolish the vacant building that was then located on the Greenspace in order to bring needed park space to the surrounding Midtown neighborhood. In accordance with the DTM mission and vision, the Greenspace Plan aimed to “reacquire the original Dunham family property and to preserve the heritage of the early settlers of the Western Reserve” as well as placing the DTM “into an historically appropriate context.” Ex. 2. 21. By 2017, DTM had raised over $700,000 toward the Greenspace project and had made improvements to the land, including constructing a new stone wall, building a new gathering space and patio, planting trees, and making improvements to the existing landscape. See “GreenSpace Electronically Filed 05/30/2019 11:21 / / CV 19 916042 / Confirmation Nbr. 1723534 / CLJSZ Progress: Preserve ... Develop ... Share,” attached as Exhibit 3. B. Defendants Collins and Wagner entered into discussions with the Cleveland Foundation to sell the greenspace without any need to do so, without opening the process to competitive bidding, and despite the obvious conflict with DTM's mission and vision as embodied by the plan to acquire the greenspace in the first place. 22. Unbeknownst to Plaintiff Tuttle and other board members, Defendants Collins and Wagner, in 2017 or 2018 began to engage in secret discussions with the Cleveland Foundation, concerning the sale of the Greenspace, for the location of the Cleveland Foundation’s new headquarters (the “proposed sale”). 23. Defendant Wagner and William Nice, the husband of DTM board member Laurie Nice, who, like Wagner, is a Hanna Commercial Real Estate Co. member and managing director, shortly produced, in 2018, an appraisal of DTM real estate, including the Greenspace. This appraisal acknowledged the “historic, priceless” character of the DTM site, while assigning a value to it that served as a basis for the purchase price in the proposed sale. 24. The discussions over the proposed sale were initiated without any need by the organization and without any call by the organization’s trustees or board members, apart from Collins and Wagner, to engage in such a transaction. 25. In proceeding with the proposed sale, which was purportedly approved on May 14, 2019 by a vote of the DTM board, as described below, Collins, Wagner, and the board did not obtain any additional appraisals of the property, nor did Collins, Wagner, or the board ever attempt to seek competitive bids for the Greenspace. The DTM board was not advised of the contemplated transaction until December 11, 2018, and its membership was not formally notified until April 24, 2019. 26. As news of the proposed sale leaked public, the board received a wave of negative feedback from DTM membership, including written notification from dozens of members and donors as to their disillusionment with the process, and their intent to cancel or withhold future donations to the Electronically Filed 05/30/2019 11:21 / / CV 19 916042 / Confirmation Nbr. 1723534 / CLJSZ DTM, in the amounts of “multiple millions of dollars,” as a result. See, eg, Exhibit 4, March 1, 2019 letter from 26 DTM members and donors to the DTM board.

Origination: Cole, Joseph E. Extent: 882 linear feet Physical Location: Abstract: After the Cleveland Press newspaper ceased publication on June 17, 1982. Joseph E. Cole, its publisher, donated the "morgue" to Cleveland State University. Representing the archived editorial library, sometimes referred to as a "newspaper morgue," topics focus on the news coverage of northeastern Ohio, with national and international news stories holding a secondary level of importance.The Cleveland Press photograph collection is composed of an archive of over one million photographs. Unit ID: PH2000.000PRE Language(s) of the Materials: English History of The Cleveland Press The Cleveland Press, founded by Edward W. Scripps, began as the Penny Press on 2 Nov. 1878. A small, 4-page afternoon daily, the paper continued to prosper. Shortened to the Press in 1884, and finally the Cleveland Press in 1889, by 1903 the Press was Cleveland's leading daily newspaper. As it entered the 1920s, the Press neared 200,000 in circulation. Louis B. Seltzer became the 12th editor of the Press in 1928, and under his 38-year stewardship the Press became one of the country's most influential newspapers. Seltzer readjusted its original working-class bias into a less controversial neighborhood orientation, stressing personal contacts and promoting the slogan "The Newspaper That Serves Its Readers." In the postwar period the Press continued its public service campaigns and remained an unrivaled force in Ohio politics.

  • Heritage of Books on Cleveland
    A L....--_----' Heritage of Books on Cleveland Cleveland Heritage Program A HERITAGE OF BOOKS: A Selected Bibliography of Books and Related Materials on Cleveland to be found at the Cleveland Public Library by Matthew F. Browarek CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY 1984 Cover photograph: Hiram House Station C 1920 Archives. Cleveland Public Library PREFACE The Cleveland Heritage Program was born out of the conviction that the city of Cleve­ land possesses unique qualities worth capturing in pictures and words. In designing the program, Professor Thomas Campbell of Cleveland State University and I were prompted less by a desire to evoke nostalgia than to retrieve fugitive material for the benefit of scholars whose work will help us to understand how and why our city is what it is. If the uses of history are to serve the present generation, then the Cleveland Heritage Program has done its work well. Funded primarily by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program was carried on over a two-year period from 1981 to 1983. Important supple­ mentary grants were made by the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation and Nathan L. Dauby Fund. Also, the Cleveland Heritage Program greatly benefited from the cooperation of the following institutions: the Cleveland Public Schools, the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cuyahoga Community College, WVIZ-TV and the College of Urban Affairs of Cleveland State University. Under Professor Campbell and his many able assistants, diligent research recovered valuable artifacts, photographs and oral histories relating to several of Cleveland's neigh­ borhoods.

  • Cleveland Foundation, Dunham Tavern Museum, Midtown Cleveland, Inc
    Cleveland Foundation, Dunham Tavern Museum, MidTown Cleveland, Inc. partner to create a new civic district in MidTown Foundation’s move to MidTown will help to anchor new civic space designed to connect Downtown and University Circle and catalyze additional equitable development along the East 66th Street corridor CLEVELAND (June 28, 2019) – The Cleveland Foundation board of directors today announced it has unanimously authorized the creation of a new home in the MidTown neighborhood for the world’s first community foundation. The proposed relocation for the Cleveland Foundation, which is envisioned to include a significant amount of community space that is open and accessible to the public, marks the launch of a new civic district in MidTown. This vision is designed to connect the center of Cleveland with both Public Square in Downtown and Wade Oval in University Circle, creating one continuous stretch of activity and community engagement. “This move empowers the Cleveland Foundation to stay proximate to the residents and neighborhoods in which we are working to serve in partnership with our donors, nonprofit organizations and the community,” said Ronn Richard, President and CEO, Cleveland Foundation. “Working with these partners, our goal with this new district is to create new green space, bring new enterprises to the neighborhood, revitalize existing businesses and establish a sense of place that builds on the history of surrounding neighborhoods and provides opportunities for people to interact. And with equitable place- making as the driving force behind this move, we believe this new civic space in the heart of MidTown will unite Cleveland into one contiguous city that benefits everyone.” For nearly 40 years, the Cleveland Foundation has called Playhouse Square home.
