This photograph of the former Samuel White Roadside Inn was taken in 1897 when the building was serving as the home and offices of Liberty Ware. The well-dressed elderly man standing in the front yard may well be Liberty himself. Note that the exterior walls of the house are wood boards painted white. In 1913-1915, during a substantial renovation of the house, a layer of dark brick veneer was added to the exterior walls. Other changes included removing the house's east wing and moving the house to a new location on the lot. The building to the left of the Ware residence, which was a grocery in 1897, is long gone. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital GalleryDownload Original File
