fotos of churches from East 82 to East 77 on Euclid Avenue
[Click] for churches on East 86 and Euclid. Euclid Avenue Congregational at East 96 and Euclid burned from a lightning strike in March 2010.
Through St. Agnes' campanile, chimneys and a stone finial of old Calvary Presbyterian is seen.
Charles Schweinfurth, the architect of Cleveland's millionaires, began Calvary Presbyterian in 1888. It sits on the southwest corner of Euclid and E.79th. The year marker is elegant, it does show why Hindu-Arabic numerals surmounted Roman numerals. MDCCCLXXXVIII [spell check doesn't like it either]. The church merged with Glenville New Life Presbyterian in 2013.
Now, we use anno Domini [in the year of the Lord] dating. Sometime this generation, it has also been called
"common era". In 1178, the scholar Moses Maimonides calculated that Creation happened
in the year 3761 b.C., or year 1 anno mundi [year of the world]. Anshe Chesed is Cleveland's oldest Jewish congregation, they have had several addresses. In 1910 they began their third, a brick building, the Euclid Avenue Temple. In 1957 they continued east to Beachwood, and Liberty Hill Baptist had a new home, where they continue.
looking shabby
Originally Second Church of Christ, Scientist 1916; and then a Cleveland Playhouse's Seventy-Seventh Street Theatre 1949-83; now True Holiness Temple [Pentecostalist]. The black banner no longer goes all the way across, the letters "IENTIST" are visible.
