Cleveland Cultural Gardens. Part One.

Chinese Cultural Garden.




The Chinese Cultural Garden (some visible on the far left) and Temple Tifereth Israel. Built in 1923 and designed by Boston architect Charles Greco. It served as the main temple until the opening of yje Pepper Pike branch in 1969. I did a paper for on it for one of my urban classes at CSU. Very interesting building!





























More to come tomorrow!

Cleveland Cultural Gardens. Part Three

American Colonial Cultural Garden.








(I'm not really sure what the Gettysburg address has to do with Colonial America)



As you can see, there has been alot of vandalism. Many of the plaques and busts are missing through out the gardens. It's all very sad!



Next stop, the American Legion Gardens.....

Back then, Cleveland most have had a bit more world-class and ethnicity. Nice gardens, despite the vandalism.
