The fascinating irony at ground zero of zoning history. #planninghistory 
After the U.S. Civil War, Cleveland, Ohio boomed industrially. Euclid Avenue was the pinnacle of the city's wealth, with a portion of it known as Millionaires' Row. John D. Rockefeller lived along it for years until he decamped to New York. This is another Euclid Avenue home.
Euclid Ave's glory faded in the 20th century with commercial development & increased traffic caused, in part, by automobiles of the rich now able to live in more secluded areas. After WWI Euclid Ave Assoc. was established to improve the avenue in & beyond Cleveland's city limits.
