The Shanty in 1903

The Shanty in 1903
This two family (or double frame) house, which in the nineteenth century stood on the east side of Seneca (West 3rd Street) near Lake (Lakeside) Avenue,—where the Justice Center stands today—was leased in the mid 1880s to Ludwig and Rosa who converted it into a boarding house. By 1903, when the Plain Dealer featured it in an article about Cleveland's most popular "foreign" restaurants, its exterior was in a somewhat dilapidated condition leading it to be known as "the Shanty." It was home to Wohl's Hungarian Restaurant from 1888 until 1903. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper Collection
