The Several Lives of Severence Town Center, 1890 - 2015

Thursday, May. 7th

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Heights Libraries - Lee Road Branch

It was first farmland; then the site of John L. Severance’s mansion, Longwood; then an upscale indoor mall, one of Ohio’s earliest; then a refurbished strip mall. Today Severance Town Center also includes two medical facilities, three high-rise apartments, the U.S. Post Office, two fast food restaurants, an elegant cluster of new condominiums, and Cleveland Heights City Hall. This talk illustrates these changing landscapes that signal larger changes in the city itself. Part of the Preservation Month series in collaboration with Cleveland Heights Landmark Commission and Heights Historical Society.
