East View Village reached as far as East 140th Street until 1917. The western section of the village developed outward from Kinsman Road, and attracted eastern and southern Europeans. The semi-rural landscape was characterized by its large and narrow allotments. This enabled settlers to grow crops and raise livestock while still being in proximity to their work in Cleveland factories and shops. As with other inner-ring suburbs throughout the county, vernacular doubles were popular with home-owners due to the potential extra income brought in by borders. | Source: Cleveland History Center of the Western Reserve Historical SocietyDownload Original File
