a restaurant's great advertisement, on West 25ᵗʰ in Cleveland
Driving north on Cleveland's West 25ᵗʰ, from a distance away a large wide billboard can be seen. Currently this art work is on it. It would be good for it to stay for a long time, i doubt a successor client's message would compare to its aesthetic impact.
Ancient Rome believed salamanders were not harmed by fire. I knew the present occupants had nothing to do with this sculpture above their front door on Cass Avenue. The Fire Insulators Union has a fire salamander in its logo. This was not a union hall. It looked like a business headquarters, with a manufacturing plant attached.
John Harris invented the oxyacetylene cutting torch in 1899, and showed it to the world at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. He opened a factory in Cleveland 1905, and created more devices. The company was first sold in 1926. Around the time this building was built by 1963?, the company expanded to medical equipment.
