Moses Warren Jr., 1893
Moses Warren Jr. (1803-1896) is pictured on his 90th birthday. In 1815, Warren Jr. left his native New Hampshire and moved with his family to what later became Shaker Heights, growing up in the house his father Moses Warren Sr. built facing Chagrin Boulevard in 1817. As an adult, Warren Jr., worked in real estate, acquiring and developing land south of "Doan's Corners" (the intersection of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street). He lived with his wife and children in a house near the location of today's Baldwin Reservoir. After his retirement in 1879, Warren could often be found in establishments on East 105th Street, regaling audiences with tales from his youth and about Cleveland's pioneer days.
