Philip Small designed Shaker Square for the Van Sweringens in the late 1920s. The "Square," really an octagon, is actually located in Cleveland, just west of the Shaker Heights border. Its four American Colonial-style buildings have housed a wide variety of stores, restaurants, and offices throughout the years. This aerial view of Shaker Square from the 1950s looks west down Shaker Boulevard. In the top left corner of the image can be seen a section of Cleveland's Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood. Once home to the city's large population of Hungarians, this neighborhood is now predominantly African American. | Source: Shaker Historical SocietyDownload Original File
