This part of artist A. Ruger's "Birds Eye View of Cleveland Ohio - 1877" shows with amazing detail the street plan and housing of the Franklin Circle neighborhood in 1877. The church with the tall spire--numbered by the artist with the numeral "46" and seen on the southwest side of the Circle, is Franklin Circle Christian Church. The large man-made structure on the right side of the drawing several blocks west of the Circle (and numbered "107") is the Kentucky Street Reservoir, a critical component of Cleveland's early waterworks system.
