Specimens collected near this property
12 of 4,367 shown
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 4,367 specimens
collected within 10 miles of East Cleveland District 9 School between 1850 and
1975: 3,931 Animalia, 221 Fungi, 134 Plantae, 74 Protozoa, 5 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista, 1 incertae sedis. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. D. Huryn, A. D. Selby, A. Hall and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
2 workings within 5 miles of East Cleveland District 9 School: 2 unknowns.
None of them still produces. What was taken out: Tungsten, Zirconium, Zinc, Tungsten, Molybdenum. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Cleveland Heights, the town this property stands in, in 1 storm report between 1996 and 1996: 1 thunderstorm wind.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
No historic map-sheet match is published
for this property yet. That does not mean no map exists. This record needs

2,338 words on record
When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
