| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | Alexander L. "Sonny" DeMaioribus Papers
| | | | Creator: | DeMaioribus, Alexander L. | | | | Dates: | 1939-1949 | | | | Abstract: | Alexander L. "Sonny" DeMaioribus (1898-1968) was born in the Little Italy neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, and lived there on Coltman Rd. until the late 1930s. He was a bachelor who had four sisters and one brother. DeMaioribus attended Murray Hill School and East High School in Cleveland. In 1917, he became a messenger for the Cleveland Home Brewing Company. By the time the company closed in 1953, he had become its president and chief owner. DeMaioribus' interest in politics prompted him to run for city council in 1925. Despite a loss in that election, support from his fellow Italians in the 19th Ward (Little Italy), got him elected as their councilman in 1927. This made DeMaioribus the first Italian American elected to serve on the city council. DeMaioribus held many positions throughout his career in politics, including Ward Leader (1932-1960), Council President (1934-1942), Chairman of the National Committee (1945), and County Chairman of the Board of Elections (1960). He was a major leader in the Republican Party, serving as a delegate to the Republican National Convention and chairman of the local GOP executive committee. DeMaioribus worked to honor and emphasize Italian culture in the city of Cleveland through a number of different organizations and initiatives. One of his initiatives included the establishment and dedication of the Italian Cultural Garden. The Italian Cultural Garden was established in 1930, but was not completed. In 1939, DeMaioribus became president of the Italian Cultural Garden Association and the Italian Cultural Garden Sponsors Committee. He initiated fundraising campaigns for the garden as well as directed and oversaw its construction. His efforts came to fruition with the formal dedication of the garden on September 14, 1941. The collection consists of materials related to Alexander L. "Sonny" DeMaioribus' work with the Italian Cultural Garden Association, including correspondence, contracts, newspaper clippings, financial statements, purchase orders, reports, blueprints, speeches, member lists, histories, and invoices. | | | | Call #: | MS 5080 | | | | Extent: | 0.21 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | DeMaioribus, Alexander L., 1898-1968. | Italian Cultural Garden Association. | Italian Cultural Garden Committee. | Italian Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Gardens -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Gardens -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Design. | Parks -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland Cultural Gardens (Cleveland, Ohio) | Italian Cultural Garden (Cleveland, Ohio)

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 16 | Title: | Austin Company Records
| | | | Creator: | Austin Company | | | | Dates: | 1866-2000 | | | | Abstract: | The Austin Company, a carpentry and contracting business, was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1878 by Samuel Austin. Austin became known for his quality work, and by 1904 incorporated his business as the Samuel Austin & Son Company. Wilbert J. Austin, Samuel's son, devised "The Austin Method," a unique bundling of engineering, construction, and design services intended to streamline the building process, as well as a model for a "controlled conditions" plant, a major improvement over the hot, stifling factory environment of the day. The Austin Company grew rapidly during World War I and was able to stay solvent following the stock market crash of 1929, mostly due to the firm's major contract to build the Gorky Automobile Plant in Gorky, Russia. Business saw another increase during World War II and again during the post-war years as the Company branched out beyond industrial construction to build department stores and retail shopping centers, including the Severance Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Overseas operations flourished in western Europe, Australia, and Argentina. Throughout the 1970's and into the 1990's, the Austin Company faced a decline in business. In 1984, the Company was purchased by the National Gypsum Company. Following National Gypsum's bankruptcy, the Austin Company was purchased by the Kajima USA Group. As of 2009, the Austin Company continued to maintain an office in suburban Cleveland. The collection consists of advertisements, agreements, annual reports, blueprints, books, brochures, certificates, charts, contracts, correspondence, film reels, financial statements, indexes, journal articles, leases, ledgers, legal documents, magazine articles, manuals, maps, meeting notices, memoranda, minutes, negatives, newsletters, newspaper clippings, notes, office manuals, photograph captions, photographs, presentations, press releases, proposals, reports, resolutions, sales literature, sales letters, scrapbooks, slides, speech texts, and videotapes. | | | | Call #: | MS 5040 | | | | Extent: | 159.26 linear feet (169 containers, 15 oversize volumes, and 28 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | Austin, Samuel, 1850-1936. | Austin, Wilbert J., 1876-1940. | Austin Company. | Gorʹkovskiĭ avtomobilʹnyĭ zavod. | Severance Center (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) | Contractors -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Construction industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Construction projects -- United States. | Construction projects -- Soviet Union. | Construction contracts. | Industrial buildings -- Design and construction. | Commercial buildings -- Design and construction. | Industrial engineering. | Research, Industrial. | Advertising -- Construction industry. | Construction industry -- Marketing. | Construction industry -- Public relations. | Architectural models -- Photographs.
