Alcohol was strictly prohibited at Euclid Beach after the Puritanical Humphrey family took over the park in 1901. Even those who had been drinking elsewhere were not allowed in, as shown in this headline from the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1909. The Euclid Beach Park Police (two of whom can be seen on the right) patrolled the area around the arch to enforce this rule and keep intoxicated people from entering. | Date: 1909 | Source: Cleveland Memory, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
