Aerial View, ca. 1979
This aerial view of Shaker Square looks southwest towards the dense residential neighborhood along Buckeye Road, which runs parallel south of Shaker Boulevard. Not part of the Van Sweringens' Shaker Square development, this Cleveland neighborhood was once the center of Cleveland's Hungarian community. "Little Hungary," as it was formerly known, is now populated largely by African Americans, who moved into the area after large numbers of whites left for the suburbs beginning in the 1970s. Balaton, a Hungarian restaurant, remained on Buckeye until 1998, when it moved to Shaker Square, its home until it relocated to Bainbridge Township in Geauga County in 2022. | Source: Shaker Historical Society
