Fifth Precinct Police Station

Fifth Precinct Police Station
1898 photo of Cleveland's Fifth precinct police station, known as the Guard Street station, which was located near Woodland Avenue and East Madison (East 79th Street), less than a mile from St. Ladislas Church. In August 1891, the station was staffed by Sergeant George J. Griffin and four patrolmen. During that month, the station remained on high alert and was on at least two occasions summoned to the St. Ladislas church neighborhood to quell riots by the church's Magyar parishioners.
