around University Circle and elsewhere

St. Elias' Day just passed on the 20th. As i have mentioned, i like stained glass. Parma Lutheran Church has a few large windows with Christian symbols in the expanse of colored glass. Here is a minimalist (and effective) display of he fiery chariot that took Elias (Elijah) to heaven.
One of the great spots to stroll with the hounds is in front of Cleveland Art Museum. Often people are posing for fotos. Here is one for a group think.
Fenway Hall (1923) is the last of five hotels on what was Doan's Corners (Euclid Avenue E. 105-7).
Cathedral Latin was a Catholic High School that was closed in 1979. The cornerstone was laid in 1917. John Farrelly was bishop, and he planned to have a new cathedral in University Circle. A boys high school was to be modelled after Boston Latin School. The Marianists staffed the school from 1922. Cleveland Diocese sold the property to the state, the school was demolished in 1981. The property became the site of W.O. Walker Industrial Rehabilitation during 1984-9, which became C building of Cleveland Clinic (and University Hospital) in 1995. The entrance arch has been in the lobby since its opening.
22 July 1796 Moses Cleaveland debarked at the Cuyahoga. In 1946 to celebrate the anniversary, a survey of trees were made of trees alive when Cleaveland landed. Some 22 are still up and hearty, about half are white oaks. This one is on Torrington in Parma.
