Ohio City

Ohio City
This mural entitled "Ohio City" was created by artist William Dolwick as part of a 1930s WPA project. Painted on an oil canvas and originally affixed to a wall at the Lorain branch of the Cleveland Public Library, the mural shows the artist's idyllic view of the status of village development on the west and east banks of the Cuyahoga River in 1834. The view is from Scranton Heights (west bank) and prominently shows Cleveland Centre (east bank) in the middle of the mural, West Village houses (west bank) to the left on the distant hilltop, and the Village of Cleveland (east bank) in the background to the right. | Source: Ohio Memories
