Picture of Cleveland Heights boulevard and lake Hollingsworth drive take 1924

This was a picture taken of the Cleveland Heights subdivision before it was built circa 1920’s. The developer was named H. A. Stahl who was from Cleveland, Ohio and named the subdivision after his hometown. There are many historic homes around this area that were built during this time frame, all of them share the same Mediterranean Revival Architecture popular of the time period. H.A Stahl lost everything during the stock market crash of 1929 that started the great depression. He died of a heart attack in 1931.

Picture of Main Street

This picture is a bit difficult to wrap your head around today. The city underwent some changes and changed some of the streets. I think that a large building on the right-hand side is the terrace hotel. The picture was taken at the corner of South Florida and Main street looking towards Lake Mirror. The interesting thing here is the little orange building in the center of the picture. That is no longer there. That was where there were little outdoor shops. That is now a road.
