A Hungarian Jew who lived in Kassa, Hungary, and later Vienna, Austria, Wohl immigrated to America with his wife Rosa and their family in 1878. By 1888, he and Rosa had opened what was reputedly Cleveland's first Hungarian restaurant in a boarding house they operated on the east side of Seneca (West 3rd) Street, near Lake (Lakeside) Avenue. In 1903, the Wohls moved their restaurant into a new building across Seneca Street which still stands today (2024) at 1280 West 3rd Street. This photo of Ludwig Wohl appeared with his obituary in the December 20, 1910, edition of the Plain Dealer. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper CollectionDownload Original File
