Old Ohio: 1905
Circa 1905. "Superior Avenue, Cleveland." Landmarks include the Arcade Building at right, Hollenden Hotel and newspaper offices of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
St. Peter's Church
... is visible waaay in the background. It's still there (at E. 17th and Superior), only now the tall steeple is gone.
The Arcade (large archway at right) is a gorgeous (and, sadly, quite empty) Victorian-era, glass-roofed structure. It's one of the earliest examples of a shopping mall in America.

Still looking good
The hotel is now a Hiatt. There is a Marriott on the Prospect-Euclid side of the Arcade. Many of the rooms at the Marriott still have the stained glass from the old Colonial Hotel. My son goes to school in Cleveland and we enjoy staying downtown and seeing all of the revitalization.

Happy Birthday Cleveland Plain Dealer !
January 7th marked the 175th year of publication. Well done!
The Arcade is still there as a major hotel (on the right) but all the rest has been 'renewed.'
The Hollenden
My parents and I stayed at the Hollenden Hotel in the summer of 1953. They were delegates to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers convention held in Cleveland. It was a neat place for a 13 year old mischievous boy to explore. I cozied up to a couple of the elevator operator gals and they let me run the elevator. Whoo-hoo.
I'm not sure what he's doing
but it don't look too healthy.
