Excavation of a trench between Columbus Road and Gehring Street—built to accommodate railroad tracks for passenger trains serving the new Union Terminal complex, 1927. Before that time, Duck Island was tied into the street grid to Ohio City. Freeman and Willey Avenues (which now terminate on the west at Columbus Road) continued all the way to West 25th Street, as did a no-longer-extant street called Eureka Court. Note Saint Wendelin Church in the background (situated at the corner of Columbus Road and Willey Avenue). | Date: May 10, 1927 | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
