In January 1873, "reliable sources" had hinted that a northern Ohio city would soon play host to new stockyards for the Lake Shore line. Real estate sharks in Cleveland began contracting farmland between Collamer (E. 105th) and Erie Streets in order to offer the Lake Shore board options for a location for the new railway shops. A year later, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad opened the new rail center in Collinwood, and the area began to grow both in population and in economic success. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
