August + Sept | Thursdays | 6pm

 

Euclid Avenue, the residential “showplace of America” had a brief but glorious run from 1870 to 1910. Very little of that remains. But its next phase as a commercial Main Street of national prominence had its heyday from the 1920s to the early 1960s. The architecture built set the stage for the largest theater resurrection project in the nation and Cleveland’s largest street of adaptive reuse. Today it hosts more than 20 residential buildings.

Characters you may meet along the tour: Garrett Morgan and Francis Payne-Bolton
