Cleveland, Sixth City
Likely drawing inspiration from Chicago's "Second City" moniker, Cleveland promoters christened their city "Sixth City" following the revelation in the 1910 census that Cleveland had achieved this status. Postcards from the 1910s often used the "Cleveland Sixth City" logo to brand area attractions and tie them into a suggested tourist itinerary at a time when promoters worked assiduously to reduce complicated cities into a series of iconic landmarks. These postcards offer insight into the places that Clevelanders valued and felt were worthy of visitors' attention. They also illustrate some of the techniques used by the creators of postcards.

The East 9th Street Pier Area, 1920 to Present
The East 9th Street Pier area along the lakeshore is known in more current times as the location of many of Cleveland's museums (like the Rock Hall and the Science Center). What many do not know is that this area was once a major shipping hub for the city of Cleveland, and also a popular recreational area.

Lakeview Terrace: democracy in action
The form government in the United States of America, democracy, upholds the principle of the greatest good for the greatest number. The positive trend of the American way of life, therefore, has been to improve the lives of those sections of the population who may not have been able to enjoy all the advantages of society. Lakeview Terrace, by providing affordable housing for low-income families, represents an effort in this direction.

A Tree Grows in Cleveland
In 1910 Cleveland was the sixth largest city in the United States. With industry and residential developement expanding beyond the city limits, natural areas were being destroyed. In an effort to preserve some of these natural areas, local business leaders proposed converting these areas into parks. In 1920 over 9,000 acres were acquired for nine park resrevations. Today the Cleveland Metroparks now manages over 20,000 acres of parkland in Cuyahoga and Medina County.

Today, after nearly eighty-five years, the Library stands still as a symbol of Cleveland's committment to such advancement and as a reminder also that it remains a city of potential, a contender.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (West), Detroit Ave.
In the late 1800’s the neighborhood was first inhabited by Irish and German Immigrants. During the 1920’s Italian and Romanian immigrants became the main ethic fixture in the area expanding just a few blocks from W. 69th street. It was not one of the larger Italian neighborhoods in the city, but like all ethnic neighborhoods it was “tight knit” with many Italian families entirely dominating several blocks surrounding the church. This wave of Italian immigrant came in the early 1920’s and was the second wave of Italian immigration to come to Cleveland area. Once they were settled, Italian bakeries, restaurants, shops, and men with skilled and unskilled trades began working in the neighborhood, filling a large number of manufacturing jobs located in the surrounding area. The church was built in 1926 after intense petitioning to the Vatican by the Italian neighborhood was successful.

The National Air Races to the Cleveland National Air Show, 1929 to 2009
Beginning in 1929, the National Air Races became a premier event for the Cleveland area. Held at Cleveland Airport throughout the 1930s and 1940s, the races were sponsored by Cleveland aircraft businesses and attracted aviation idols such as Jimmy Doolittle. The National Air Races were last held in Cleveland in 1949. By the 1960s, the Air Races had morphed into the Cleveland National Air Show. However, the Air Show is not quite as unique as its predecessor.

William G. Mather Steamship
The William G. Mather Steamship dates back to the 1950s and was once the flagship of the mighty Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company fleet. The Mather once prowled the great lakes with its vital payload linked directly to Cleveland and its prosperous industry. The Mather is over 600 feet long and can hold 14,000 tons of ore. The success and history of the vessel warrant its current location and purpose. The Mather is now a museum located by Cleveland Browns Stadium at North Coast Harbor in Cleveland. The William G. Mather Steamship may be retired from the Cliffs' fleet but it is still an active part of our historic community.

A place once swarming with citizens would, only fifty years after its rise, be left abandoned and left as a relic on the shores of the lake.

William G. Mather Steamship: A Brief History
The William G. Mather Steamship Museum is a combination of two sites. One site is the ship itself which was built in 1925 in Michigan. It became the flagship of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company and was named after its owner. The Mather became one of the best known frieght carriers on the Great Lakes. The other site is where the Mather came to rest after its sea legs gave out. North Coast Harbor is the current home of the Steamship which has now been turned into a museum. The physical site is one of constant construction, dredging and filling throughout the 20th century. The current location of the vessel looks nothing now like it did when the Mather was created. The harbor was basically built to form the lake against Cleveland Browns Stadium, The Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The community, local businesses, and city leaders were in full support of the Air Races. That first year the races were a ten day event and over the years it went down to being over Labor Day weekend. The Cleveland National Air Races were very successful from the beginning and even did great during the years of the Depression.

From Cleveland Airport to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport - Aviation in Cleveland: 1928 to 2009
In 1929, the City of Cleveland became an important locale for the aviation industry. Just before the Roaring Twenties were muzzled into silence by the Great Depression, the National Air Races were held at Cleveland Airport. Sponsored by Cleveland aircraft companies such as Thompson Products, the Races were held in Cleveland throughout much of the 1930s and 1940s. The event served as a showcase for both the city’s aviation industry and its state-of-the-art airport. But the National Air Races, an event that was singularly unique to Cleveland, eventually changed into the military and consumer-based National Air Show. A brief look at the history of Cleveland Airport reflects the same trends experienced by the National Air Races.

Cleveland Municipal Stadium
Cleveland Municipal Stadium opened to the public in July, 1931. It was constructed during the begining stages of the Great Depression. It held baseball, football, and boxing matches. Religous ceremonies were held there. It held up to 125,000 people at its biggest stage. And yet, in 1996 it was torn down for 2.9 million dollars. The construction of the old stadium cost 2.5 million dollars. Why tear down this historic structure? What does it say about our community and values? Have the new stadiums, where the Indians and Browns play, replaced this historic building and added value to the people of Cleveland?

Yet by 1923, with the construction of both the United States Post Office and the Cleveland Public library, the area became transformed and an almost unrecognizable area.

Child Labor
During the Gilded Age, Progressives worked to solve many problems that were brought about by industrialization and urbanization. One of the issues that Florence Kelley advocated for was child labor legislation. Children were put to work at very young ages and helped to contribute to the family wage economy. Most were paid meager wages and worked in dangerous conditions for long hours. As a result, formal education for these youth was often sacrificed in favor of economic betterment of the family.

Although these maps cover the same general area in Ohio City, it is quite evident when staring at the images, that this market seems to be situated in two different locations at two points in time. To understand why this is so, one must understand the history of this Public Market. The original Pearl Street Market was built in 1868 on a plot of land given by two early settlers of the city. The original structure as seen in the first image of the poster is located at the corner of Pearl and Lorain. After the Pearl Street Market was deemed too small to support its mission, a new market purchased by the City of Cleveland was built. This Market unlike its wooden predecessor, was an elaborate structure capable of housing its day to day operations and continues to captivate many Clevelanders today. The newly built West Side Market did not occupy the same space the Pearl Street Market did, in fact it was built directly across the street. The explains the discrepancy in the location. The West Side Market's current location is on the corner of Lorain and West 25th Street. Pearl Street, was eventually replaced with West 25th after a street renaming project was completed. This explains why Pearl Street can no longer found in the second map.

Cuyahoga River Humor
The Cuyahoga River was polluted for over 30 years and it became a big issue. Bill Roberts created many cartoon illustrations to show the major problem with the river pollution. The cartoons showed humor but also gave insight on the problems that was going on in Cleveland, Ohio.

Maps of the Cuyahoga River
The images shown below are two maps of Cleveland Ohio. The maps show specific places where the Cuyahoga River caught fire in 1969 and 1952. Both fires caused major damage and reveals the water pollution problems that Cleveland went through. The Cuyahoga River fires started in 1883 because of the waste dumping from the industrial companies alongside the River and citizens. The map gives visual on the buildings in which my have contruibuted to Cleveland water pollution that created the fires in 1952 and 1969.

Felix M. Cartoon Analysis
This cartoon created by Bill Roberts, pictures a bare man and woman hidden in brush, under a tree which reads, "Produce Prices". The connection to Adam and Eve is obvious, hilarious, and clever. In this cartoon, fruit is as forbidden to them as it was to Adam and Eve, but why? For the purposes of my assignment I will answer that question with reference to the Public Market. The Public Market unlike the Supermarket is an institution created by the local government to provide an accessible location for consumers to shop while also guaranteeing affordability. It usually provides the same quality products a Supermarket does at a much lower cost. This makes buying produce at a Public Market a cheaper venture and does not make it seem as though you are trying to attain a forbidden fruit at a small store or supermarket. Consumer affordability has also been a reason why Public Markets have not seen an ultimate demise.
An example of affordability at Public Markets versus stores like Supermarkets has been provided in Helen Tangires' "Public Markets and Civic Culture In Nineteenth-Century America" where she states that an investigation was launched in Boston to determine if stores were guilty of price fixing. What was found however was that Faneuil Hall Market was not guilty of price fixing, rather it was the cheapest institution to purchase produce. It was the small stores in Boston where prices were "kept up until they were forced down by quotations at Faneuil Hall." (Page 161) The Public Market today is still an important institution and perhaps our answer to forbidden fruit.

Cartoon Analysis
This rendering by long-time editorial cartoonist Bill Roberts shows Carl B. Stokes facing the many tasks awaiting him as mayor of Cleveland. Although undated, one can judge by the mayor's youthful countenance, and the fact that not retrospective judgments are given concerning the issues to be addressed, that the drawing dates from the time Stokes was first elected mayor in 1967.

Suburbanization and the National Air Races, 1930-2000
In the 1930s and 1940s, the city of Cleveland was a leading manufacturer of aircraft parts. The city's prominence in the aviation industry made it the ideal place to host the National Air Races. However, by 1950, Cleveland was no longer hosting the National Air Races. The city now presents the National Air Show as its premier aviation spectacle. The fact that the National Air Races can never resurge in Cleveland is due to the changed nature of the city. Cleveland is no longer the manufacturing powerhouse it once was. The advent of suburbanization -the transference of population and economic power from the large cities to the suburbs- has rendered Cleveland an unlikely candidate to host the event once again.

Cleveland Public Library: Census Poster
Inception for the Cleveland Public Library, at 325 Superior Avenue, began long before actual construction. Years prior, inspiration for the building began, and as materials accumulated, addresses for the main building constanly changed from one downtown residence to another. Yet the inspiration for the institution--as means especially of promoting the country's growing emphasis upon literacy and education--never altered. And what developed, as depicted in the 1850 graph, as a burgeoning national trend, cummulated in 1925 with the finalized constuction of the Cleveland Public Library. Despite fluctuating county and city populations, and regardless of changes in patronization, the Public Library remains still a recognizable and largely unchanged downtown landmark.

Early Automobile Manufacturing at the Winton Motor Carriage Company
The Winton Motor Carriage Company was located at Berea Road and Madison Avenue in Cleveland. The Winton was the first commercially built car in America.
Early automobile manufacturing is very different from manufacturing today. These early manufacturing techniques had a big effect on the price and quality of early automobiles. Most automobiles at that time were being sold to wealthier individuals.
As you can see the workers would have had to go from car to car to complete each individual task. This meant that the production of one automobile could take a long period of time. As time went on most car manufacturers realized that changes needed to be made to bring costs down.

The Rise and Fall of the National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio, 1929-2009 (A Final Perspective)
Throughout much of the 1930s and from 1946 to 1949, Cleveland, Ohio played host to the National Air Races. The National Air Races were the premier aviation event in the United States during this period. The National Air Races have since been replaced by its step-child, the Cleveland National Air Show. The path that led from the exciting National Air Races to the more muted Cleveland National Air Show is closely mirrored by Cleveland's rise as a giant of heavy industry to its subsequent deindustrialization and to its dissemination into its neighboring suburbs.

The West Side Market-final
The West Side Market is located at the corner of West 25th street and Lorain road in Cleveland. It covers one large city block. The West Side Market has a very long history, since the 19th century, and its history reflects the history of Cleveland and the nation. It grew over its first century of being in Cleveland just as the city of Cleveland grew exponentially in the 19th and 20th centuries as it was transformed into a giant of manufacturing. The West Side Market shows its resilience over time (as in recent difficult economic times) particularly because of the Market's popularity with its customers. The Market sells meats, fish, poultry, produce, cheeses and ethnic foods.

Lakeview Terrace story
In the beginning the plan of Lakeview Terrace was a design for private apartments, but due to lack of funding during the depression the plan changed with a design for public housing. The housing development was completed in 1937. The two other public housing complexes, Cedar-Center Apartments and Outhwaite Homes, were unlike Lakeview because of its view of Lake Erie and the terraced look built on a slope. The outside exterior of the buildings had remained the same, but the insides had been renovated in the 1990's and still continue to be in the present. The high-rise tower was built in1973 to house senior citizens.

The William G. Mather Steamship is an interesting site because it combines the actual ship and North Coast Harbor. The vessel was an bulk ore freighter that roamed the Great Lakes for over 60 years from 1925 through the mid 1980s. North Coast Harbor is a tourist and entertainment destination located next to the East Ninth Street pier. The Mather now lies within the confines of North Coast Harbor as a maritime museum. We will see why the William G. Mather was so important as a bulk freighter operating out of Cleveland and how its new role as a museum has helped change the landscape of North Coast Harbor region.

Hungarian-Americans in Cleveland
Young Hungarian-Americans march past the Justice Center at the corner of Ontario and Lakeside Avenues in in downtown Cleveland in October 1976. They are commemorating the 20th anniversary of the failed 1956 Hungarian Revolution and demanding freedom for Hungarians living in communist Hungary.In this image there are young men and women marching on a street, dressed in uniforms. They are carrying a sign "Freedom for Hungary, 1956-1976, Freedom for All". They are also carrying the American Flag and four flags that appear to say "Hungary" with ribbons cascading from the top of the flag pole. They are commemorating the 1956 failed anti-communist uprising in Hungary. The story that this image tells is the connection between Hungarian-Americans and their relatives, friends, and homeland. This image is important in demonstrating the manner in which Cold War issues reached people in the United States on a very personal level. Although people had left their homelands for a better life, they continued to fight and bring attention to the oppression of the people their native country.

Where a River Meets a Lake
Views of Cleveland, Ohio, located on both sides of the Cuyahoga River which empties into Lake Erie just north of the center of downtown. The river creates a barrier that separates the city into East and West side. Over the history of the city, many bridges have been built to connect the two parts of the city, but the bridges needed to allow for boats to travel up the river from the lake. "High level" bridges were designed to connect the city to itself while allowing even the largest ships to move underneath.
Modern Cleveland has developed in uncertain ways in its relationship to river and lake. While the bridges have successfully linked the east and west sides of the city, riverfront and lakefront developments have largely not been successful in connecting the city and its citizens to the water.

Goodrich: A Story of Immigration and Assimilation
<!-- @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->
Cleveland used to be one of America's premier industrial cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Steel, iron, cars, paint, paper, and various other manufactured goods were produced here. If it wasn't produced directly in Cleveland, chances are that Cleveland had a hand in it at some point. The problem was, that labor was in short supply. American manufacturers were hard pressed to find American workers. However, there was a burgeoning population of immigrants coming from Eastern Europe trying to escape poverty. They came here by boat and were directed to Cleveland by recruiters and previous immigrants. Many of them needed help adapting to American life and often used settlement houses. This is the story of one settlement house in Cleveland.

Have you ever heard of Kosciuszko Avenue? Maybe if you have not heard of that, you have heard of Rockefeller Park? The truth is Kosciuszko Ave. is just around the corner from Rockefeller Park, and through the decades there has been tons of history made there. Some of the history is very interesting, others parts of it are just sad. Take a look through this poster and you’ll feel like you’re a part of this neighborhood.

Rusty Collinwood: A Cleveland Story.
Cleveland, Ohio's northeast corner grew from a railroad stop, Collinwood Village, in the mid 1800's to a vibrant community by the turn of the century. The community's character was marked by the neighborhood mix of residential and industrial areas blending the immigrant workforce with the manufacturing boom. Later, by 1970, neighborhood racial tensions played out at Collinwood High School. The neighborhood story reflects the struggles of the larger Cleveland community during the twentieth century.

The Detroit Shoreway in Cleveland, Ohio
The Detroit Shoreway on Cleveland's West Side has gone through many changes in its past. As the community changed from one ethnic group to another, each group added their own culture to the area. As these groups moved through the neighborhood there has been noticeable deterioration through the area.
In an attempt to restore some of this deterioration, the Re-imagining Cleveland Project has set out to enrich vacant lots in the Detroit Shoreway and many other Cleveland neighborhoods. The vacant lot at West 57th street is one spot that is involved in this project. Through cooperation of the local community, the lot will soon be turned into a community market. This market will allow the local community to take part in the revitalization of their neighborhood and also have a positive impact on the environment.

Hough Avenue and East 66th Street History
Places change over time for varying reasons. The area by Hough Avenue and East 66th Street fits very much into that description. This area, that is passed by many people everyday, has changed a lot. There were businesses and apartment buildings in the past, where there now is none. It is a good example of what a few years can do to any area.

Transforming Our City: A Revitilization Project in Tremont
Cleveland was blessed with industry and vitality starting in the late 19th century. Workers, foreign and domestic, flocked to work in one of the many mills, factories and businesses. Tremont is a historic and cultured neighborhood in Cleveland and its story runs parallel to that of its home city. Tremont was a multi-ethnic community that was founded on industry. Since the Cleveland labor markets have declined since the 1960s so has its neighborhoods. Tremont is now a relic of what it once was. Vacant lots and closed factories dot the landscape and many residents have moved elsewhere. All is not lost however. There is an effort to revitilize Tremont and the city of Cleveland. 1095 Holmden Avenue depicts this case. It is an abandoned lot where a group of individuals have begun implementing a process to remove lead from the soil. It may be a small scale project but it reflects the passion of citizens to save their city.

Tremont: an Enduring Ethnic Industrial Neighborhood
Tremont is a historic and cultured neighborhood in the city of Cleveland. It was first settled in the 1850s by the English and Germans. During the 1860s it transformed into a Pole dominated community and has remained that way ever since. Immigrants were drawn to Cleveland for its industry and job opportunities. Many factories were constructed and sprawling neighborhoods popped up directly adjacent to them. Tremont is a perfect example of this. It is a neighborhood founded on industry. Cleveland labor markets have declined since the 1960s as a result of a new post-industrial society. There has been an effort however to maintain and revitalize the neighborhoods that have been so vital in the story of Cleveland. Tremont is one of those cases.

Trials and Tribulations: The Struggles of the Hough Neighborhood
The Hough neighborhood has gone through alot of negative changes over the years. The one thing that has not changed is that the Hough neighborhood has always been a residential community with small businesses. These negative changes were caused by various factors such as deindustrialization, the creation of suburbs and highways, and the middle and working classes moving to the suburbs. In the early periods of the Hough neighborhood, the population was made up of different immigrant groups. These immigrant groups came from the countries of Germany, England, Poland, Yugoslavia, and Austria. These immigrants were unskilled laborers who worked in the factories and mills. When deindustrilization occurred and the factories and mills were closed it left these people out of a job. These immigrants then moved out of the neighborhood to suburbs and other cities looking for work. When suburbs and highways were built the middle classes moved to the suburbs. This left behind the poor African Americans who now are the majority of the population in the Hough neighborhood. Because of this crime rates increased and buildings were forclosed and abandoned. Some of these buildings were knocked down leaving behind empty plots of land in the neighborhood. The buildings that were not knocked down are now currently dilapidated and rundown.

Mount Pleasant: From a progressive to a struggling neighborhood
By 1913, Cleveland had annexed Mount Pleasant and the surrounding neighborhoods from the city of Newburgh. With this annexation came a rapid growth in the neighborhood that would become home to many diverse cultures and peoples. Up till the 1960's, the Mount Pleasant Neighborhood was still prospering, and had variety of businesses, from a great variety of people. More than eighty percent of the people living in the neighborhood home owners. Mount Peasant’s prosperity began to change with the in the late sixties, early seventies that led to a drastic demographic change.

Sadly, not many people have chosen to stay in this historic neighborhood. For various reasons, people have been leaving this area. It used to be an area that many people liked to call home. There are many timeframes and perspectives that you can look at to show this change. Perhaps this will change with the projects that are being created in the area.

Detroit-Shoreway
The Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood has undergone many changes since it began forming in the late nineteenth century. It followed many of the national urban trends including hard economic times and community development programs.
William J. Gordon, the man who donated the land for Gordon Park on the East side of Cleveland, bought land on the West side that became the Gordon subdivision in the original Brooklyn Township. The Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood began as a German and Irish dominated area. The ethnic makeup of this neighborhood is illustrated by festivals celebrating ethnic pride. One example is German Day which was celebrated at Edgewater Park, an integral part of the neighborhood.
Edgewater Park also offered recreation to the residents of the Detroit-Shoreway. An underpass at the bottom of West 65th Street gives easy access to the Park. Beer Gardens and Dancing Halls were also popular forms of entertainment, and both could be found in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood.
While the ethnic group with majority in this neighborhood has changed there are still some things that have stayed the same. The neighborhood started with immigrants and second generation immigrants from Europe. Today there are refugees from Liberia who have taken up residence here. There are also many Hispanics, including Puerto Ricans now living in this neighborhood.

The heritage of polish people stayed in contact with their home land as well with statues honoring their war heroes. Yet with the invention of more available transportation, and better living, this once paradise starts to see rapid decline. With the decline crime starts to rise and people leave the area for a new paradise. Does the future seem to stay desolate or do we see a new ray of hope being through.

Public Square - Public Commerce
Look at the following eight photos/postcards of Cleveland's Public Square from 1839 - 1990 with the following thoughts in mind:
1. Public Squares/Market Squares have been an important place for the conduct and stimulation of commerce throughout history.
2. Look at the images of Public Square from 1839 to 1990, please note the design, and architectural/botanical features during different time periods. How do you think these designs acted as a way to make the square a more inviting place to come to, and linger in?
3. In the past few decades there has been quite a bit of public attention given to making certain public areas into commercial centers that will encourage people to come downtown. The goal of course, is to get them to come, stay, enjoy, and hopefully spend some money. If this can be achieved then Cleveland could begin again to compete with Pittsburgh and Chicago as business location of consequence. The recent examples of this are: The "Gateway Project" (Progressive Field & The "Q"), The Lakefront Project (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Great Lakes Science Center, Browns Stadium & the redesigned E. 9th Street pier), the recently approved Medical Mart, and smaller centers such as the Westside Market and Gordon Square. These concepts have worked well in other cities such as Pittsburgh & Baltimore, why not Cleveland? What design features do you think would help to remake Public Square in a way that would turn it back into an inviting "user friendly" place?
4. After looking at the eight images, and answering the two questions asked, please go to: http://www.examiner.com/x-6824-Downtown-Cleveland-Examiner-y2010m1d23-Open-forum-on-downtown-Clevelands-Public-Square-redesign
to look at a number of designs by landscape architects that were discussed in a December 2009 Plain Dealer article on redesigning Public Square. You may also want to read some of the positive and negative comments left by some of the readership. THEN ..... Your task, design your vision of Public Square, a design that would both draw in people/events, stimulate commerce, and be aesthetically pleasing.

The Church that Burned
At one time known as the "tugboat" church, St. Malachi has stood tall in the Irishtown Bend neighborhood since the mid-1800's. Famous for its large, green illuminated, cross that could be seen from the lake, the church catered to the area's influx of Irish immigrants. On December 23, 1943, the building itself became a beacon to those on the water as flames engulfed the gothic structure. When the smoke cleared and the sun reclaimed the sky, little was salvageable.
Not to be deterred by the inferno, parishioners rebuilt the church, using the stone from the original building to create the front walkway. Completed in 1945, the building was dedicated in 1947, and still stands and operates today.

Jewish v. Slavic Immigration
This poster is meant to show the difference between the Jewish immigration experience, and that of the Slovaks. The first image, of the Star of David with a line through it is meant to show that the Jewish people were not accepted in many places in the world. Without their own land to live on, the Jewish people hoped that they would be able to assimilate themselves into the American culture. The second image, the map of eastern Europe, shows where the people deemed "Slavic" came from. They had their own land, and came to America with the intentions of returning home after they made some money. Once in the States, the Slovaks and Jews were treated much of the same. The title of the article, More Land for Jews, is meant to show that even once they were here, papers wanted to let Jewish people know that they were also welcome in other places. There would be land opening up in Australia, and Jewish people were welcome to settle there. Published in the New York Times, this seems sort of like a backhanded compliment to the Jewish people. The next article, written in the Trenton Times, is stereotyping the Slovak people. It describes how they look, about their alcoholism, and a little bit about the failures that had in their old country. As people immigrated to the United States, they began to be given stereotypes that was meant to help people recognize where people were from. The stereotypes in this article are very harsh though, showing the dislike for the Slovaks. Finally, the last picture of the map shows where the Slavic people were living around the city of Cleveland. The Slavic people were not very concentrated within the city, choosing to be more spread out on the outskirts. Almost opposite of this, the Jewish people tended to live in very close-knit neighborhoods in big cities. The reason the Slovak people left their homeland (money), was different than the Jewish people (just looking to fit in somehwere). The Slavic people had the intention of returning home after they earned their money, but the Jewish people planned on staying in the United States to build their new lives. Each group formed their lives differently in the United States, because they came here for different reasons.

The city beautiful movement sought to create aesthetically pleasing cities that would improve public habits and morality through city parks, beautiful buildings, etc. Both of these schools of thought were at work in the creation and building of the Mall.

Irishtown Bend: the Heart of Cleveland Industry
Irishtown Bend was named for the distinctive curve in the Cuyahoga River and the Irish immigrants who called the riverside home. The bend in the river was altered in both the 1940s and the 1950s to accommodate river traffic. Irishtown Bend was once an important dock and rail depot for the ore industry in the Flats. From the 1850s until the 1930s immigrants from both Ireland and Eastern Europe called the hill along the Cuyahoga home. The Irish immigrants worked mainly as day laborers on the Irishtown dock. The labor was grueling and the hours were long. The Eastern Europeans were mainly Hungarians, who were also mainly skilled laborers. They worked in factories and as cabinetmakers in the flats. Both groups came to Cleveland with little money and moved out of Irishtown Bend when they could afford to. As the city of Cleveland changed the Irishtown Bend dock became less important. In the years since the houses were torn down Irishtown Bend has lost some of its importance and today sits virtually abandoned.

Lake to Land, Cleveland's Nature Preserve
Dike 14, an 88 acre plot of landfill extends into Lake Erie where Doan Brook and Gordon Park meet the lakeshore near Martin Luther King Boulevard. The space is officially "Cleveland's Nature Preserve", home to numerous species of birds and butterflies and abundant vegetation--all of which has occurred naturally over the past ten years.

Brewing, Bottles and Beer at West 28th Street and Carroll Avenue
Breweries have had a great impact on the American city. They have contributed to an American past time and have also been involved with business and society. Breweries can also be tied to the environment. They have required the use of natural resources and have also contributed to the amount of waste Americans produce through their use of bottles and cans. Just as the industry has changed over the years so has their impact on the environment.

Rocky River Valley Reservation
Comprised of nearly 3,400 acres, the Rocky River Valley Reservation is not only the largest of the 16 Reservations which comprise the famed, "Emerald Necklace,"of Northeast Ohio, it is also the Oldest. The valley is also home to the first parcels of land designated for public enjoyment and leisure in 1912, as well as the initial land surveys for what would eventually become known today as the Cleveland Metroparks. Almost entirely the product of one man's dream, unyielding dedication and persistence, the Rocky River Valley Reservation is a breathing, tangible connection to Northeast Ohio's belief in progressive belief in Conservationismand .

Connecting East and West: The Detroit-Superior Bridge
The Cuyahoga River separates the west side of Cleveland from downtown. Building a bridge accross the gap was never a problem in and of itself. Problems did arise though when industrialization brought huge ships to the ports of Lake Erie and these ships tried to navigate the river. The old Superior Viaduct crossed the river, but whenever a ship came through, the swing bridge had to be moved. It could take as long as a half an hour before the ship passed and the bridge could be crossed again. Cleveland needed a bridge that could let people cross over the river while still allowing ships to pass under the bridge. It was from this dilemma that the Detroit-Superior Bridge was born.

Cleveland Breakwaters
To a cartographer, Lake Erie can be seen and described as a large expanse of fresh water that is surrounded by Canada in the north and a few U.S. states in the east, south, and west. On a map, the lake is thus presented as a static entity, restricted by geographical borders and caught in the moment that the map was made. To anyone living by the lake's shores, however, Lake Erie is demonstrably different from the map's ideal. With currents, waves, and even tides in constant motion, it is anything by static. Sometimes it can even become violent and destructive.

Grand Pacific Junction test
The title Grand Pacific Junction has only been conceived from a contemporary sense. Prior to 1989, the downtown shopping district of Olmsted Falls was a dwindling glimpse into the past of economic achievement and progression. The Junction itself consists of twenty-eight small businesses, plus a non-denominational church chapel and a banquet/reception hall for larger events. In circa 1970, the historic shopping district was placed under the protection of the National Registry of Historic Places - which assisted in the preservation efforts of these 19th century commercial structures.

Ford Motor Company's Brook Park Facility
Ford Motor Company's Brook Park Facility has become an iconic part of industrial history in the Cleveland area. Also called "The Cleveland Site", the facility was composed of three main buildings; the Casting Plant, Engine Plant No. 1 and Engine Plant No. 2. The site was built in 1952 and was the center of production for Ford's first overhead valve engine, the Lincoln V8. It was later the site of production for the Ford 335 engine. Since the shutdown of Engine Plant No. 1 in 2007, millions of dollars in improvements were made to accomodate the new production line. Engine Plant No. 2 opened in 1955 to produce the Y-block V8 for the Ford Thunderbird. More recently, it has been the site for Duratec 25 and 30 engine production. The Casting Plant, which closed in October of 2010, made gray-iron engine blocks which became obsolete as Ford switched to aluminum. The casting plant is currently awaiting demolition and remains vacent in between Engine Plants No. 1 and No. 2. Although there are multiple sources chronicling the history of Ford Motor Company in Cleveland, the story of Brook Park is most effectively told through the photographs of those that work there.

Missiles in your Backyard
During the beginings of the Cold War, around every major city in the United States there were missile defense locations commonly called "Nike Sites." Today these locations are forgotten as they have been abandoned or transformed into parks, playgrounds, parking lots, school yards and more. But during the 1950's and 1960's these sites were a manifestation of everyone's fears, concerns, pride, and ultimate existance.
Following the end of the Second World War, the United States had a new enemy to content with, the U.S.S.R. The United States and the Soviet Union were once allies pushed together in order to defeat the Axis powers, but after the crumbled they were left to war against one another.
The threat of the Soviet Union was ultimately realized following their first successful detonation of an atomic weapon in 1949. The fear of an atomic weapon being detonated over the United States became a distinct possibility. This spurred the development of new technologies, new building projects, and ultimately the development of the Nike Missile program.

The Mayor's Dream Come True
The Cain Park story is part of the continuing story of Cleveland Heights and one man's dream. The man was Cleveland Heights first and longest serving mayor, Frank C. Cain.
When Cleveland Heights was 13 years old, the mayor decided that a provision for parks must be made. With that Mayor Cain sought to aquire land. 72 acres of land had been aquired by Cleveland Heights and 72 acres was donated by John D. Rockefeller.
It would be some twenty years before the site that would become Cain Park would be used. It started as a ravine that ran from Taylor Road to Lee Road and along Superior Road.
The Civic Theater of Cleveland Heights and the dramatic department of Cleveland Heights High School in 1934 wanted a site to put on "Mid-summer Nights Dream", there had to be a name given to the place and after speaking with the Mayor Cain, Cain Park was born.

Wade Hall
This collection of photographs depicts the changes of Wade Hall, originally known as Little Deer House. The building was originally constructed to shelter deer in the Wade Park Zoo in University Circle in 1884. After the zoo moved in 1907, the building stayed behind to be used for various types of storage. In 1969 it was petitioned to be reunited with the zoo and was broken into five pieces and reassembled on Waterfoul lake in the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Cleveland Steel Works
Ever since the United States began the industrial revolution, the flats area of the Cuyahoga River valley has been undergoing change in an effort to accomodate the needes of Cleveland's economy. The site had grown into an industrial giant achieving its peak with one of the world's largest steel producing facilites reaching its own full potential. This occured after years of strife with both the steel workers and the economy itself. Shifts in production overseas have downsized the American steel industry causing the flats to loose its status as a vital component of Cleveland's economy. Today developers still search for ways to reinvigorate this once thriving area.

Remaking Whiskey Island
Whiskey Island was created when the "sandbar" formed from silt carried by the Cuyahoga River had a channel cut through to allow more direct access to Lake Erie. When the Ohio and Erie canal was completed in 1827 more direct access to Lake Erie was demanded by merchants so goods could be more easily shipped via the canal and difficult to navigate Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie. Whiskey Island, really a peninsula of land, became a cargo transfer point for shipping first by boat, then later by rail and boat when railroads began replacing the canal. It began to fall into disuse as manufacturing began declining and as tehnical improvements were made in cargo handling. It achieved some new life with the opening of the International Salt Mine (now Cargill Salt) in the 1960's. It is showing signs today of becoming reborn again as a "green area" along the Cleveland shoreline.

Steelyard Commons: Retail and More
Commerce flowed along the Ohio and Erie Canal, soon to be replaced by the railroad and mighty steel industry along the Cuyahoga riverbanks in Cleveland's Flats. After decades, the LTV#2 finishing mill ceased production in 1999, left to sit idle upon the landscape. In hopes of providing multi-purpose use in the 21st Century, construction began on Steelyard Commons Shopping Center in 2005. The Era of Retail has been ushered in upon the landscape, while the future recreational outlet for NE Ohio is still waiting in the wings for the completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath to Cleveland and further expansion of the Cuyahoga Valley Railroad to the area.

The Powerhouse building on the West Bank of the Flats has been trying to find its purpose in the city of Cleveland since the Cleveland Electric Railway Company was shut down in 1920. For almost 40 years the Powerhouse stood as an abandoned warehouse, until it was added to the Nautica Entertainment Complex in the 1980's. Since then businesses have come and gone through the building, but with the new addition of the Greater Cleveland Aquarium the Powerhouse is hoping to have found its main attraction for the people of Cleveland.

The Cuyahoga River
The Cuyahoga River was a huge factor in the decision to found the city of Cleveland. The river's access to Lake Erie aided the transportation of oil, steel, and coal made Cleveland a major midwest shipping hub and attracted industries that contributed to the city's major economic success. However, those same industries that made Cleveland a national leader in transportation and industrial production also helped to shape the landscape for better and for worse.

Lakeview Terrace: The Human Element of Public Housing and the Flats
The Flats in Cleveland serves as a microcosm of the economic and residential vibrance that has come and gone in many older cities in the United States. Part of this microcosm is the development of public housing in previously distressed areas of a city.
The human element of public housing can be seen in the development of the Lakeview Terrace Estates in Cleveland in during the midst of the Great Depression. When Lakeview Terrace opened in 1937, it was one of three major public housing initiatives; all three of them being in Cleveland.

The Bend that Housed the Unwanted
Along the Cuyahoga River, lays an undesirable marshy plot of land and future home of Cleveland’s undesirable influx of Irish Catholic immigrants. Irishtown Bend, settled in the mid-nineteenth century, was nothing more than a shanty laced neighborhood inhabited by underpaid grunt labor looking for the idealized American Dream. Over time and generations multiple attempts had been made to better the area by both former residents and the city of Cleveland itself. By the turn of the twentieth century, no longer was the neighborhood majority those of Irish decent, but that of Hungarian and by the 30’s it became more so that of a warehouse district than residential, eventually removing all traces of the former housing by the 1950’s.

This small subdivision of the Rope and Maritime Company of Samsel, may have not been the “bread winner” of the Company as a whole, but it was the leading contributor in indirect advertisement and praise to the Company’s name.
