Overseeing Birdtown

Overseeing Birdtown
Monsignor Francis Dubosh reads a letter at his desk in his office at the rectory at Saints Cyril and Methodius Church in Lakewood. His office overlooked Madison Avenue and Quail Street, one of the colorfully-named streets in Lakewood's Birdtown. Birdtown was home to one of the Cleveland area's largest Slovak communities for much of the twentieth century. Msgr. Dubosh served Birdtown's Catholic Slovaks as pastor at Saints Cyril and Methodius from 1927-1967. | Date: 1960 | Source: Cleveland State University. Michael Schwartz Library. Special Collections.
