This circa 1860s photo shows a Civil War era building being moved west on Lorain Street past Henry Leopold's furniture store--the gabled building on the right--one of the pioneer retail businesses located on or near the intersection of Lorain and Fulton (then Willett) Road. As his business grew over the decades that followed, Henry and his family increased the size and number of their commercial buildings on and near the southeast corner of that intersection several times. In 1904, when the company erected a four-story building on the corner, the Plain Dealer reported that Leopold Furniture now had the largest furniture store in Cleveland. | Source: Leopold's Furniture websiteDownload Original File
