First Edition
Thousands of pedestrians crisscross its walkways or relax on its quadrants every day. Thousands of motorists drive through it daily. Special occasions-sport celebrations, concerts, political rallies, protests, and holiday lights-draw tens of thousands to it many times a year. Cleveland's Public Square is not only the physical center of the city, but the civic heart of the Greater Cleveland community.
The story told here is of Public Square during the course of the 20th century-with a brief look at what came before. It covers the changes in the landscape of the Square itself, the architectural developments that have defined the Square's neighborhood, and some of the numerous events that have taken place there.
Ultimately, the trajectory of the Square has mirrored that of the city. When the city's fortunes have flourished, so did those of the Square. When the city fell upon hard times, these were echoed in the Square. The Square has been a microcosm of Cleveland's promise and a reflection of what Clevelanders value.
During good times and bad, Clevelanders have fought diligently to preserve the space at the city's core laid out by Seth Pease and Amos Spafford more than two centuries ago. From grazing ground to corporate front yard, the Square has seen many changes, but it remains the city's civic center.
In narrative and with over 140 illustrations, The Heart of Cleveland takes the reader on a century's journey through the Square and to what happened on it and around it. It takes readers on a trip to a forgotton past and through the changes that have brought about a dynamic present.
