Alexander Campbell (1827-1911)
A Scottish immigrant, Campbell came to the United States in 1851, and eventually to Cleveland in 1867. He became a prominent street and sewer contractor, who was said to be the first contractor to pave the streets surrounding Public Square. He built the two Campbell Block buildings on Viaduct Avenue in 1880 and 1892. His grandson, Rear Admiral Isaac Campbell Kidd, was one of Cleveland's most famous war heroes, going down with the USS Arizona, his flag ship, at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special Collections
