Amazing...Simply amazing

This building is on Euclid Avenue near CSU - the smaller building on the left is one of the few remaining mansions from Millionaires Row, now part of the Parker-Hannifin complex. The building itself is home to Ah-Roma Cafe, Sacred Path Books and 10,000 Villages:

Yes they are.  I would love for one day to go back to that time...walk down the street and hear the "ahhhoooooogaaaahhhh" horns of those cars.

Incredible.  Definitely an era that seems so foreign to many of us today.

Amazing collection of photos!

Those wonderful commercial buildings with high ceilings and huge windows that let daylight stream in, and provided abundant natural ventilation in summer! I now value the memories of going to work in one such building as an apprentice machinist-toolmaker at General Electric in Fort Wayne in 1958. The building dated to 1914; there were three like it, five storeys tall, in the complex, all built with reinforced concrete columns and concrete floors. One had a sixth floor added later, and it had 90-ton punchpresses on the second floor. They bolstered the floor in that area with added columns that went through to bedrock. I worked in it in the mid 80s, and the pencils on my desk on the sixth floor would jiggle visibly when the presses ran.

 

Although mosty vacant now, it still stands solid as a rock.

Thanks for posting all these.  They are fascinating to see.

this is a real treasure.

Probably follow MayDay's suggestion and donate to clevelandmemory.org but have to talk to the boss.

I'm a bit rusty on my old cars (pun, sort of - get it? :roll:), but I used to really have them nailed. My dad was a teenager in the 1920s, and he knew them all on sight. Whenever I'd see a photo of one I didn't know, I'd ask him.

 

I'm guessing the car in your avatar is a 1929 or 1930 Chevrolet. 1929 was the year they introduced the solid disc wheels, and the wire wheels were an option on the sports models. By 1931, they appear to have gone back to wire wheels on all models. 1929 was also the year they introduced the six-cylinder engine.
