1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Franklin Boulevard-West Clinton Avenue Historic District (Boundary Increase), Cleveland, Historical Background The area was originally part of the Connecticut Western Reserve,surveyed by the Connecticut Land established as a major Indian route, following a distinctive beach ridge overlooking Lake Erie's south shore. Ohio Canal in the 1820s and 1830s, and the area experienced its first wave of ethnic migration, the earliest were Irish and came for jobs building the Ohio Canal. They settled between West 45th and West 65th and later moved westward around the West 70s. St. Colman's Roman Catholic Church, located on West 65th erected by 1917. The Irish maintained social clubs and pubs and other gathering places in the district for many years, although today these institutions have largely faded away.

Germans were locating in the southwest part of the neighborhood by the 1830s and were to become a strong influence here in the years following the Civil War. The construction of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad in 1852 through this neighborhood placed it in a major national east-west rail route and spurred residential development while setting the groundwork began to extend into the neighborhood, with Detroit already having residences interspersed with stretches of tremendous expansion throughout greater Cleveland. By 1868, Franklin Street had been extended through lands owned by William J. Gordon (1818-1892), a Cleveland wholesale grocer who became one of the sides of the Cuyahoga River, purchasing these lands in 1865. He laid out streets and erected houses built tastefully but economically.

He developed Gordon Park on the city's east side and lent his name first to Gordon Avenue and later to the commercial node at West 65th and Detroit. (Gordon Square, National Register, 1985 and 2002) The neighborhood experienced a housing boom in the 1890s and during the first decade of the twentieth West Clinton Avenue. By the outbreak of World War I the neighborhood was largely developed, primarily with single-family houses. The residential construction boom was influenced not only by the local industries but also by the growth of Greater Cleveland and the development of improved means of transportation, namely streetcars, paved roads and bridges. While most of the residences were constructed prior to World War I, a relatively small amount of infill construction, largely in the form of apartment buildings, continued until halted by the Great Depression, beginning in 1929.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel was established by the Catholic Diocese in 1926 to serve the settled in the former Irish neighborhood north of Detroit between West 52nd and West 61st. They organized St. Helena's Church on West 65th and established the Romanian Savings & Loan to serve their community.

Commercial development along Detroit Avenue occurred somewhat later than the residential development of these follow the pattern of neighborhood commercial businesses, with shops on the ground floor and apartments above. However, larger scale commercial development was stimulated both by the presence of a large neighborhood population base and by the development of outlying areas. Gordon Square's commercial core was to ultimately develop as an areawide commercial hub, serving not only the people who could conveniently walk there from the surrounding residential areas, but attracting people via streetcars and automobiles from a broad area of western Cleveland and Lakewood. During the period just before and shortly after World War I, infill residential development occurred in the form of larger flat-type apartment buildings along or near Detroit Avenue.

A few of these buildings were built on the rare vacant lots on West Clinton and Franklin. These apartments housed a wide diversity of residents, not just The Post World War Il era was characterized by an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, some residences from their elderly original inhabitants.

The peak period of development in the district was from about 1890 through about 1910.

By the beginning of World War I the neighborhood was densely developed, with only a few vacant parcels.
