Posted October 25, 200816 yr Just across the Detroit-Superior Bridge from downtown is one of Cleveland’s oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods, Ohio City.
October 25, 200816 yr Wow. I can't believe how beautiful this neighborhood is. While some of the color schemes aren't my cup of tea, these houses are among some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Really, really nice job .. thanks for that!! Who wouldn't want to buy a house in this area??
October 25, 200816 yr Another great post... You even got my old house and some of my friends' houses in there, but you missed my current one by a few blocks. Maybe you'll get it during your Detroit-Shoreway tour!
October 25, 200816 yr Great set! Ohio City has some great housing stock indeed. I love the mix of stone and wood on this one:
October 25, 200816 yr Nice! Architecture is really diverse. Looks cozy. Some of those houses must be 3500-4000 sq. ft. I wish you guys would post pics of other neighborhoods beside Ohio City, Tremont, Shaker Heights, and University Circle though, for us out-of-towners. (Hey, I have a right to complain - I took pics of basically everything worth seeing in Columbus - last summer).
October 25, 200816 yr People have. Remember, recently someone commented (from their car) about Ohio City. :roll: and for the love of God, it's Shaker SQUARE!! :whip:
October 25, 200816 yr Are you sure about that? I'm almost positive he was talking about Asiatown. That's neither here nor there - I don't know why you're bringing that up lol

By moving south of Cincinnati you committed treason. Oh, and since you brought it up... Why aren't there more pics of Ft. Lauderdale or Miami? :wink: (j/k). Stalker! That's my house. You might want to take the pic out of that post if you truely don't want to be stalked lol.
October 25, 200816 yr Amazing pictures. You covered some spots that I haven't seen yet, and now I really want to go back though Ohio City.
October 25, 200816 yr Sweet photos! Nice light and color saturation, and you gave the residential part of Ohio City more attention than it usually gets.
October 25, 200816 yr These are the threads I love the most. You captured the residential and human element of the neighborhood beautifully. Ohio City boasts an excellent housing stock.
October 25, 200816 yr Great shots of a great neighborhood! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 25, 200816 yr Wow. I'll take one of each please. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 25, 200816 yr Nice job on a classic Cleve hood... these shots could post on a Howard-Hanna OC home tour.
October 25, 200816 yr Man, with the fall colors mixed with the cross section of colors of the homes... Even though I live here, I sometimes forget how bad ass this neighborhood is.
October 25, 200816 yr Last night I had a conversation with Craig Bobby, a longtime friend in Lakewood and self-appointed champion of Ohio's Victorian architectural treasures. I mentioned the new UO photo thread featuring Ohio City and he said he had "seen them all". When I visited Lakewood a few years back, Craig had wanted me to take a tour of Ohio City but my travel schedule was too hectic to make that possible. I now regret not re-shuffling my priorities to take in this beautiful neighborhood. As nice as Ohio City is, Cleveland has lost so much of it's historic architecture-I have a book gifted to me a few years back about Cleveland's lengendary Euclid Avenue corridor. At one time, it was one of the most prestigious addresses in America and home to such figures as John D. Rockefeller. While Euclid Avenue has been almost totally lost to progress, Ohio City seems to still retain its historic character. I will make it a priority to see it the next time I'm in the area. Thanks for sharing!
October 25, 200816 yr John, there are a lot of Cleveland neighborhoods that still have "amazing" architecture. The problem is that there isn't good representation on Urbanohio of those neighborhoods. The most popular neighborhoods, like OhioCity or the various Downtown neighborhoods get the most attention and photo recognition.
October 26, 200816 yr Really quaint! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 27, 200816 yr I love the Victorianesque housing in Ohio City and I think that the crazy color schemes add to their character. Then again, this comes from the girl who wanted the color scheme of her room to be purple and orange (I was 9 though, lol). John, there are a lot of Cleveland neighborhoods that still have "amazing" architecture. The problem is that there isn't good representation on Urbanohio of those neighborhoods. The most popular neighborhoods, like OhioCity or the various Downtown neighborhoods get the most attention and photo recognition. ITA. Cleveland is separated into 36 or so neighborhoods and most of them are barely covered on UO (if they have been covered at all). Like, the area around the Rockefeller Park in Glenville, which has many beautiful homes.
November 4, 200816 yr Anyone see that this thread got a shout-out in Ohio City Near West's e-newsletter? --- "2) UrbanOhio.com To view some beautiful photos of Ohio City that were posted on the website UrbanOhio.com, please click here. Our beautiful neighborhood is often featured on this site, so much so that some people complain that not enough attention is given to other Cleveland neighborhoods."
November 4, 200816 yr Awesome! But how does Florida Guy feel about that? Maybe you can talk to them about submitting your photos for an online gallery for them or something, Florida Guy?
November 4, 200816 yr Great photos. The residential part of Ohio City is definitely my favorite part. What is the flag on this house though: I saw it on a couple of houses. PS - I'm sick of seeing Shaker Circle threads too, can someone post some East Cleveland pics? I'm really curious to see what it looks like with the Health Line going through it.
November 4, 200816 yr ^That's the neighborhood flag of Ohio City. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
November 4, 200816 yr Prokno5, Shaker Square, not Circle!!! Or are you confusing it with University Circle? The flag that you talk about is the original Ohio City flag. Back in the early to mid 1800s, Ohio City was a separate municipality before it was annexed. Like many cities, it had its own flag.
November 4, 200816 yr "The flag that you talk about is the original Ohio City flag. Back in the early to mid 1800s, Ohio City was a separate municipality before it was annexed." I knew the separate municipality thing but not the flag - well I guess it's time for: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

November 4, 200816 yr Just kidding, darling. You know we already hashed through that one when I took my vacation out there in summer.
November 15, 200816 yr I have added more images that somehow got left out. Thank you all for the comments.
November 15, 200816 yr Thanks for the add. Man, I would not want to live across from the Pepto-Bismol Palace.
November 23, 201014 yr Definitely a Hall of Fame thread. But I may be biassed, being a third generation native of Ohio City. My mother and I were born in Lutheran Hospital when it still had Labor and Delivery. My grandmother was born in a house just off W. 25th St.
November 23, 201014 yr So I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the neighborhood today compared to the one you grew up in, or even the one your mother grew up in...
December 13, 201014 yr Reminds me a lot of Buffalo. Nice pics, never even knew about this part of the city or else I might have seen it.
