It was also known as “Millionaire’s Row” because in the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the street contained the homes of some of the richest and influential people in the city, county and country. Families living along “Millionaire’s Row” included those of Charles Brush Mansion Samuel Andrews Mansion industrialist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller (during the 3725 Euclid Avenue 3033 Euclid Avenue period 1868 – 1884), banker and industrial distributor George Worthington, arc light inventor Charles F. Brush, mining magnate Samuel Mather, industrialist and politician Marcus Hanna, John Hay, personal secretary to Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State under William McKinley and Jeptha Wade, founder of Western Union Telegraph. Euclid Avenue’s most infamous resident was con artist Cassie Chadwick, the wife of Dr. Leroy Chadwick, who was unaware Mather Mansion that his wife was passing herself off to bankers as the illegitimate Tom L. Johnson Mansion 2605 Euclid Avenue daughter of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. 2343 Euclid Avenue The homes were representative of the then booming Cleveland economy and its growth and prominence in industry. Sadly, only a small number of these houses remain today, the others being overtaken by either the industrialization that brought the money here, or to neglect, disrepair and a growing urbanization of the area. Both Charles F. Brush and John D. Rockefeller had ordered their houses be razed after their deaths, as it was reportedly they preferred the destruction of their homes to Sylvester Everett Mansion inevitable deterioration. Daniel P. Fells Mansion 4111 Euclid Avenue 3201 Euclid Avenue Architect Charles Schweinfurth designed at least 15 mansions on the street. Samuel Mather’s mansion, built around 1910 “was among the last” to be built on Euclid Avenue. The Mather Mansion remains as part of Cleveland State University. As Cleveland’s commercial district began to push eastward, families moved east towards University Circle. By the 1920’s, the former “Millionaire’s Row” was in decline. During the Great Depression, many mansions were converted by their Francis Drury Mansion owners into rooming houses which accelerated the decline. Tyler Mansion 8615 Euclid Avenue Now the site of the Bulkley Building Cleveland’s Vanishing Sacred Architecture was written and compiled by historian Barry K. Herman and photographer Walter Grossman. As in other cities, Cleveland has developed through the evolution of its European ethnic neighborhoods and their various religions. Many of these neighborhoods built their own churches, which became the focus of community development and unity. For decades, these churches thrived, but the new millennium has brought with it huge changes in the economy. Large "membership" institutions, like the Catholic Church, have had to make the toughest of decisions--closing churches that were thought to be a permanent part of the local landscape. The authors of this book feel it is important to preserve the memory of these significant religious, cultural, and social institutions so that the current and future generations do not forget them.

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.

  • CMA Landscape Master Plan
    THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN DECEMBER 2018 LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN The rehabilitation of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s grounds requires the creativity, collaboration, and commitment of many talents, with contributions from the design team, project stakeholders, and the grounds’ existing and intended users. Throughout the planning process, all have agreed, without question, that the Fine Arts Garden is at once a work of landscape art, a treasured Cleveland landmark, and an indispensable community asset. But the landscape is also a complex organism—one that requires the balance of public use with consistency and harmony of expression. We also understand that a successful modern public space must provide more than mere ceremonial or psychological benefits. To satisfy the CMA’s strategic planning goals and to fulfill the expectations of contemporary users, the museum grounds should also accommodate as varied a mix of activities as possible. We see our charge as remaining faithful to the spirit of the gardens’ original aesthetic intentions while simultaneously magnifying the rehabilitation, ecological health, activation, and accessibility of the grounds, together with critical comprehensive maintenance. This plan is intended to be both practical and aspirational, a great forward thrust for the benefit of all the people forever. 0' 50' 100' 200' 2 The Cleveland Museum of Art Landscape Master Plan 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS CMA Landscape Master Plan Committee Consultants William Griswold Director and President Sasaki Heather Lemonedes

The dense housing in Little Italy represents the largest residential area in the neighborhood. There are a few other isolated streets of residential and student housing located in the neighborhood.

    The Story Chapter 1 The McGregor Story TThe McGregor story starts in 1877 when Amasa Stone, the legendary capitalist and preeminent Cleveland philanthropist, and his wife, Julia, built and endowed one of the first private organizations in Cleveland specifically for the care of seniors — the Home for Aged Women, later to be renamed the Amasa Stone House, on what is now East 46th Street and Cedar Avenue. After training as a carpenter and building contractor in his native Massachusetts and moving to Cleveland in 1850, Amasa turned his considerable ambition to transportation. He built the Lake Shore Railroad, which ran between Erie, Pennsylvania and Cleveland as part of the New York Central. During the post-Civil War industrial boom, he found himself among America’s elite railroad builders. He also worked with his brother-in- law, William Howe, in designing a truss bridge to sustain heavy loads of rail cargo over short spans, like small gullies and ravines.
