"Liberty Hall" / The Jacob Goldsmith House

"Liberty Hall" / The Jacob Goldsmith House
2200 East 40th Street was the home of the UNIA Division 59 and later Division 133. Originally built for Jacob Goldsmith, a leading clothing merchant who eventually created the Joseph & Feiss Co., the building is architecturally attributed to Cudell & Richardson. By 1908 the house was converted into housing the Jewish Infants Orphan Home. Not long after, however, the orphan home would become absorbed by the Welfare Association of Jewish Children. It was not until 1923 that the home became the headquarters for the Cleveland branch of the UNIA. | Date: 1957 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Digital Collections
