It was sunny and above freezing, so we decided to continue the Ohio City tour.
The Ohio City section of Cleveland is home to the renowned West Side Market, the oldest continuously operating municipally owned market, and the only one remaining of three in the city.
West Side Market (1910-1912, designed by W Dominick Benes and Benjamin Hubbell) at W 25th Street and Lorain Avenue |
The United Banking & Trust Company Building (1925, designed by Walker and Weeks in Classical style) is cross Lorain Avenue from Market Square; this bank did not survive the 1929 stock market crash |
Greetings from Cleveland mural (2015) by Victor Ving, who has done other vintage postcard-inspired murals in other cities; on Chatham Avenue at W 25th Street |
We noticed hats and scarves, mittens and gloves tied on fences, utility poles and sign posts all throughout Ohio City (KSS) |
Apparently a Cub Scout pack from St Jude School in Elyria, OH collected these items to be left for those in need (KSS) |
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (1873), at 2031 W 30th Street, is known for its 1956 Beckerath Organ, made in Hamburg, Germany |
The Breen Center for the Performing Arts (2009), at 2008 W 30th Street, is part of St Ignatius High School |
Entrance to St Ignatius High School at 1911 W 30th Street, a college-preparatory school founded by the Jesuits in 1886 |
St Mary of the Assumption Chapel (1998, designed by Ron Payto) was funded by a 1936 graduate, Jerry Murphy |
Loyola Hall (1895 as the St Mary's Elementary School) now houses the History Department |
This statue (2001) is a gift of the Loyola Society Mothers Club in honor of Fr Robert J Welsh, former president of St Ignatius HS |
The Main Building (1890) of St Ignatius High School |
Main Entrance (KSS) |
St Ignatius Kyle Field, named for the football coach, Chuck Kyle |
Tanks of the Great Lakes Brewing Company (1988), one of the first businesses to invest in the Ohio City neighborhood; now there are at least five craft breweries in Ohio City |
The Music Settlement received the donation of the Bop Stop building (2920 Detroit Avenue) in 2013, ensuring its expansion to the West Side |
Jim Mahon Green, a small park for watching sunsets and July 4th fireworks; (I can't figure out who Jim Mahon was...) |
A Creative Fusion photomural (2016) by Donald Black, Jr, on the Van Rooy Building (1895) at 2900 Detroit Avenue |
Another Creative Fusion mural (2016) by Joe Lanzilotta; on Church Avenue at W 29th Street |
A 3,000-plant living wall that is irrigated by storm runoff water; also on Church Avenue across W 29th Street from the above mural; it must look better in the summer! |
Next: Ohio City III.
