can anyone assist me in finding detailed ground shots of eastside neighborhoods ? i looked on clevelandmemory but couldnt find much. its important as im lookin to buy property and want to know what stood there.......

any more pics are welcome here

 

Why not try Sanborn maps?  They should give you a good indication.

 

Whereabout on the East Side are you buying property?

does anyone have any old photos of cleveland?

Here's a couple more from the 30's-40's.

looking at the warehouse district in these pictures is painful.  i'd cut an arm off to have those buildings back.

It's funny how having so many smaller buildings in comparison to their modern replacements makes the city seem so much larger.  These pictures say all that needs to be said to people who think having a 70 story skyscraper is better than having several smaller buildings.  The Termial Tower just blows everything away in scale.  Love it.

That and all the old mega-mansions on Millionaires Row. :oops: :cry:

Wow.  Those pics are great!!  I would love to see that type of density back in the Warehouse District.  One day...

Note how the shoreline is changing.  On another thread, changes in city's land areas from 1930 to today is being discussed.  I wonder how much of Cleveland's slow creeping increase in land area is from landfill and dredge leavings.

Awesome!

That's actually Marcel Breuer with his head on his cap in the photo of the Ameritrust Building under construction.

cool to revivive this, but how on earth did this old thread survive and all the other old ones we worked so hard on did not?

Everytime I see the Moses Cleveland statue I think of the movie, Major League.

This is a great thread.

 

I like old terminal tower pictures, does anyone have any close ups of the construction of the top?

i couldn't find a pic of cotton club lemon-lime 40/40....google kept coming up w/ puffy's club  :laugh:

Holy wow!

Anyone have any photos of Battery Park before it was Battery Park?  Perhaps from when it was an actual battery factory?

 

Thanks!

i couldn't find a pic of cotton club lemon-lime 40/40....google kept coming up w/ puffy's club 

 

Wasn't it 50/50 Lime and Grapefruit?  I used to love that.  They used to still make it under the Canfield's name here in Chicago, but I don't see it too much anymore.  Wasn't as good as Cotton Club's version though :-P

 

 

Cotton Club still makes 50/50.  I think they sell it at Dave's in Ohio City.  I may just have to pick up 2 liter tonight,  good stuff.

Where was the Cleveland Arena?

My parents sell antique/collectible books online, so they're always out at auctions, estate sales - anyway, they found this "magazine" produced by the Plain Dealer's Education Service Dept. I'm guessing it's from the late 1950s. Here are some of the images within:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are glorious pictures.

 

The "millionaires row" home were just spectacular.

 

The picture that hurts the most.  The building of the inner belt freeway construction.  :cry:

Yep, the last picture hurts.

 

My favorite is the second one.

I'm sure you all know what my favorite picture is?  :wink:

Excellent.

I 'bout peed myself when I saw those, especially some of the older ones!

 

I recall that interior architectural pieces from of the John Hay mansion were incorporated into the Case Western Reserve Museum. I believe there's a garden with a fountain and reflecting pool, too. There are trim and ornamental pieces from some of the other Euclid Avenue mansions, too, but I can't remember which ones.

 

"Kinky Cuyahoga!" *giggle*

Someone should open a fetish bar in the flats and use that name!

Or charter a themed cruise on the Good Time III. :evil:

 

Watch it, Robert! You're doing it again! There are youngsters on these boards. :bang:

Sorry. I'll stop now. :oops:

 

Yeah, the last pic is pretty upseting! And to think, it was all in the name of progress! Very Sad!

the bright spot is my neighborhood generally looks the same.  :-D

Neat!

Anyone else find these pics profoundly sad?

 

;-)

These are great.  It just shows that while the sun belt is considered booming by today's standards, they're about 150 years late compared to Ohio's cities.

My jaw dropped with that last picture.  Truly sad that we as a society let our cities be demolished like that.   

 

Great pics!!
