In West Village, the grandest homes were located on Washington Avenue. The house in this sketch which appeared in the 1874 Cuyahoga County Atlas was built in 1836 for Charles Winslow, a Buffalo Company investor. This was the same year that West Village became part of Ohio City. After Winslow's death, it became the house of his son-in-law C. L. Russell, who led the Ohio City forces in the 1836 Battle of the Bridge. The house was razed in 1912, to make room for Bulkley Boulevard, the precursor roadway to the west Memorial Shoreway. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Map CollectionDownload Original File
