Houses on the Move

Houses on the Move
Shaker Heights originally intended to demolish the 32 houses that were located on the site of the proposed new Service Director. However, in 1969, at the request of Cleveland mayor Carl B. Stokes, Shaker Heights entered into an agreement with the Community Housing Corporation providing for that entity to move the most salvageable houses to vacant lots in Cleveland's Mount Pleasant neighborhood. In this photo which appeared in the Cleveland Press on August 14, 1969, the house which was formerly located at 3529 Menlo Road in the Moreland neighborhood is shown being moved west on Chagrin Boulevard. Its destination was a vacant lot at 10420 Avon Road in Cleveland. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Newspaper Collection
