Translating an Entrance Way

Translating an Entrance Way
The Lee-Scottsdale Building has an elaborately designed, central recessed round-arched entrance. On the stone facade of the entrance way are carved the words "Uradoven Prvej Katolickej Slovenskej Zenskej Jednoty," which translate from Slovak to English as "Office of the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association." The words identify the ethnic fraternal benefit society that erected this commercial building in Shaker Heights in 1930.
