"HIDDEN" Victorian Architecture of Lakewood, Ohio: a driving tour
by Craig Bobby
The following is a driving-tour of historic (mostly late-19th-century)
structures that are either hidden from 'proper' view, contain significant
details not seen unless you really look, or are otherwise going unnoticed.
The driving-tour is divided into two parts, one encompassing the sites
in western Lakewood, and the other for those in eastern Lakewood.
1. EAST ROCKPORT CENTRAL SCHOOL, 1456 Warren
Originally a pamphlet "HIDDEN" Victorian Architecture of Lakewood,
Ohio: a driving tour, photos and text by Craig Bobby (1992). In
his pamphlet, Bobby acknowledges: Lakewood: the First One Hundred Years
by James and Susan Borchert, for much of the basic historic information;
City of Lakewood's Building Department, for supplying the Permanent Parcel
Numbers for the featured sites; Cuyahoga County Archives, from whose Real
Estate Appraisal cards the years of construction for some of the buildings
were taken (please forgive any inaccuracies, as these were not 'confirmed'
dates).
