Built in 1853-1856 as a vital component of Theodore Scowden's design for Cleveland's new waterworks system, the Reservoir, with its promenade walk 35 feet above street level, soon became one of the most popular places for Cleveland's west side elite to take a stroll. After nearly three decades of use, the Reservoir was abandoned in the 1880s when its capacity became insufficient for Cleveland's growing population. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
