Krenzler was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1911 and served as a Navy flight instructor during World War II. After the war he received his law degrees from Western Reserve University. He became Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge in 1968, after which he became Ohio Court of Appeals Judge. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan nominated Krenzler United States District Court Judge for Northern Ohio, a position he held until his retirement in 1992. Judge Krenzler was involved in a number of high profile real estate development projects in downtown Cleveland and was involved in the larger Cleveland community, supporting the rights of the mentally challenged and funding for Cuyahoga County Community College. After retiring as a judge, Krenzler kept active as an influential developer, overseeing various projects such as the opposition to the proposed parking tax and the participation in Downtown Development Coordinators, a non-profit development oversight organization involved in the remodeling of the Gateway district in the 1990s. The collection consists of correspondence, reports, surveys, floor plans, blueprints, bulletins, newspaper clippings, legal bills, and postcards. | | | | Call #: | MS 5164 | | | | Extent: | 4.01 linear feet (4 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Cuyahoga Community College | Hippodrome Building (Cleveland, Ohio) | Krenzler, Alvin I.
