This part of a page of the 1898 Cleveland Atlas reveals that in that year the Prentiss, Cox and Gardner mansions (from left to right, circled in green) sat on the north side of Euclid Avenue where today the John Hartness Brown complex sits. In the first decade of the twentieth century, John Hartness Brown had control of all of the land between Chestnut (now, Chester) to the north and Euclid Avenue to the south, and between Erie (now, East 9th) to the west and Muirson (now, East 12th) to the east. He envisioned a massive shopping complex on this land. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Map CollectionDownload Original File
