When I came across this house, at 15002 Sylvia Avenue, in Cleveland, Ohio, a year ago, I knew that it was historic, but I knew little more. The style suggests a pre-Civil War construction date. The County Auditor’s records confirm this, listing the date as 1855 – though it’s possible that it was earlier. I [...]
When she moves to Cleveland this month from Brooklyn, New York, artist Ivana Medukic will gleefully watch her monthly nut dwindle from out-of-control to more-than-manageable. In NYC, the installation artist was paying $1,850 per month for a one-bedroom apartment, plus an additional $350 per month for rented studio space. The mortgage on her North Collinwood [...]
On Saturday, October 9, 2010 the Cleveland Restoration Society offered a SNOOP tour of the LaSalle theater on East 185th Street at Kildeer Avenue in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland. The theater was built in 1927 by the International Savings and Loan Association as a mixed-use project that included their bank branch, retail store locations, apartments, [...]
In the first post in this series, I detailed the life of the Farwell family, including Benjamin Farwell, the carpenter perhaps responsible for the strongest visual element in this historic Cleveland house – the front doorway.

Cleveland has finally committed to building a recreation center on Lakeshore Boulevard in the North Collinwood neighborhood. City officials today awarded a $9.6 million contract to Panzica Construction to build the center in a former big-box retail store on Lake Shore Boulevard across from Euclid Beach State Park. The contract fulfills Councilman Mike Polensek’s 20-year-old dream [...]
It was called Cunningham’s Sanitarium or referred to by many locals as Timken’s Tank, and it was located at 18485 Lakeshore Blvd. in Cleveland on the north side of Lakeshore Boulevard. I’ve lived down the boulevard a couple of miles for nine years and had never heard of it until I recently stumbled across some [...]
So this is the third year I have tried to complete some sort of milestone to track the potential progress the city has to offer. In doing so I checked back with my 2008 Year in Review looking for some sort of benchmark to hit. My, the bar was set so low. The economy may have [...]
Monday, Oct 12, at 6p.m. about fifty local residents converged on the Arts Collinwood Gallery at the corner of Waterloo Rd. and E. 156 St. Northeast Shores Development Corp (NSDC) had sent out a general invitation to attend a meeting to see and discuss the plan for the Tower to be built on the new [...]
Northeast Ohio is littered with dead malls and empty big box stores, killed by changing fads in retail and the kooky race to add more suburban shopping to a region that isn’t growing in population. So what’s a city to do with an dead box? Recycle it. That’s what Cleveland proposes to do with a [...]

Last year, they built rain gardens and rain barrels; this summer they built a bioswale at Wildwood Lakefront State Park in Collinwood. The Cleveland residents and volunteers from Tri-C dug and installed 900 native, drought resistant plants [...]
“Northeast Shores Development Corp. has drawn up a business plan to resurrect the carousel in its original location, where East 169th Street ends at Lake Erie, and asked the Western Reserve Historical Society, which owns the carousel horses, to allow the community group to begin raising money for the project. Meanwhile, a separate nonprofit group [...]
“The word Waterloo has been a worldwide synonym for defeat since Sunday, June 18, 1815, when a guy named Napoleon went down for good on a battlefield in Belgium. The word Collinwood hasn’t fared much better around Cleveland, a symbol for all the city’s grand old neighborhoods that have been on decades-long skids. Arts Collinwood, [...]
“Waterloo Arts Fest Saturday! Made in the 216 Friday Evening and Saturday! Look, it may be hot and you may not be in the mood to be social but get out of your stuffy house and take a gander at what your neighbors are making. Who knows, you may find that somewhat snarky Xmas card [...]
“The very first phase of the Waterloo Streetscape is under construction. We are very, very excited to have the City of Cleveland commence this important neighborhood project with the construction of the bump-out node at the intersection of East 156th Street and Waterloo.
