Hi everyone, I'm doing research for an opera I'm writing and need to find information on a lost neighborhood known as the "Roaring Third Precinct." From what I've been able to find thus far, this was roughly the area of Cleveland bordered on the east by E. 55th, on the west by E. 9th, to the north by Prospect, and to the south by Woodland. The neighborhood was notorious as a red-light district in the early 20th century. It was demolished to make way for I-90, Cleveland State,Tri-C Metro, and St. Vincent Charity Hospital. Today a large part of the former neighborhood is known as Central.
If anyone has any photos of this area before 1950 (particularly the 1930s), I would be extremely grateful for the help.
Thank you!
