Posted September 4, 20177 yr Can anyone identify the Cleveland building that is reflected in the window of this famous woman suffrage photo? Photo (from Library of Congress) is dated 1912, and as at "Upper Euclid." However, the known Women's Suffrage headquarters in this era were at Huron & Euclid, and maybe another one at Euclid and Superior in East Cleveland. Neither location seems to have had a elaborately decorated building across the street at that time. The business shown on the right of this photo was selling phonographs.
September 5, 20177 yr Looks like it isn't there anymore, I found this on the webs. http://photos.clevescene.com/35-mash-photos-northeast-ohio-now/cleveland-19122016-east-clevelands-woman-suffrage-headquarters-at-euclid-lakefront-avenues/?slide=1
September 5, 20177 yr The building in the reflection is the old Higbee Department Store on Euclid and 13th. I found a reference to the Women's Suffrage office in the Plain Dealer in 1912 at 1260 Euclid Avenue. Higbee's was directly across the street. Eventually, Sterling and Welch took over the space. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c1arr4XsZ4I/VJDIHtDGynI/AAAAAAACznY/tE6Mw1mIyLI/s1600/SterlingWelch26.JPG The Cleveland Scene photo puts the location in East Cleveland.

Cool, i didnt even realize that reflection was another building. I saw it as odd turn of the century decoration in the storefront of the Suffrage building.
