A SUPERB GLIMPSE OF CLEVELAND HISTORYBy LescribeIf you are a native or resident of the Cleveland;Ohio area; and interested in the various historical remnants of Cleveland; you will find this book invaluable. It is one of the Arcadia "Images of America" series of books; which focuses on a broad spectrum of cities in the United States. Most of these books give keen historical perspectives; through excellent photographs and narrative. If you are an historian; or simply curious about this great country of ours; do peruse this series. This book; "The Overlook"; by Marian Morton; an excellent Cleveland Heights historian; who has authored two other books on Cleveland Heights; also in the Arcadia series; gives a keen representation of Cleveland history at the turn of the century; namely; specific acreage in Cleveland Heights which denoted the pomp; power and privilege of the founders of Cleveland Heights. This property is found at the top of Cedar Hill and Euclid Heights Boulevard and was known as "The Overlook". At the turn of the century; many of Clevelands top financiers; attorneys; physicians; and government officials resided in The Overlook; establishing their great mansions and estates as well as smaller buildings which housed servants and carriage houses. There are three mansions which have survived and are currently in use; as well as carriage houses which have been converted to residential homes; all are still standing today. The book also details the still unsolved 1910 murder of prominent attorney and co-founder of the Jones Day lawfirm of Cleveland; Mr. William Lowe Rice. Rices estate; called Lowe Ridge; was located at the very zenith of The Overlook; where an apartment building stands today. The prime murder suspect; although never proven; was a Mr. John Hartness Brown; a business associate and nemesis of Mr. Lowe. John Hartness Browns mansion still stands on The Overlook today; ironically; not far from Lowe Ridge. I wont delve into more detail; as this is only one portion of a fascinating trip into a lifestyle and era of incredible wealth and power struggles; in the infancy of Cleveland Heights history. Excellent.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Nice to look at but not very scholarly.By banjosethIm sure this volume was assembled with the best intentions and contains more entries that are accurate than inaccurate; but these types of paperback picture books in general seem to be put together rather hastily; without the kind of oversight expected from a work of history.A case in point: on page 46; a caption quotes (or possibly misquotes) the Cleveland Architects Database under a view of 2733 East Overlook Road. The building shown replaced an earlier house at the same address and was still under construction when photographed for the Ohio Architect and Builder issue of June; 1904. Furthermore; the new house was never lived in by JGW Cowles; the owner identified in the caption.In October of 1903; shortly after the death of his first wife; Cowles had sold the unfinished building to his associate Virgil P. Kline; the lawyer the caption refers to as owning the house by 1917. The transaction is recorded in the Cuyahoga County Registry; as is its subsequent sale by Klines trustees after his death in 1917; facts easy enough to check in the information age in which we live.Enjoy the pictures; but do your homework if what youre after is hard information!
