| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Water Department | | | | Dates: | 1920-1931 | | | | Abstract: | In 1925, the Cleveland Water Department opened the Baldwin Water Treatment Plant in the Fairfax neighborhood on the border of Cleveland Heights. Supplying water to the Baldwin facility was the Kirtland Pump Station located on Lakefront Road at E. 49th Street. Just east of the Kirtland Station was Gordon Park Beach, which was a 122-acre recreational area along the lakefront on the eastern side of E. 72nd Street. Euclid Beach Park was located on the southern shore of Lake Erie at E. 156th St. and Nottingham Rd., about 8 mi. from Public Square. On the west side of Cleveland and adjacent to the Division Avenue Treatment Plant (now known as the Garrett Morgan facility), Edgewater Park was purchased in 1894 by the city's Second Park Board from Jacob B. Perkins, Cleveland industrialist. The collection consists of 53 black and white photographs illustrating Baldwin Water Treatment facility, the construction of bulkheads along the shoreline at the Kirtland Pump Station, and Edgewater, Euclid Beach, and Gordon Parks. | | | | Call #: | MS 5429 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Pumping stations -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Sewage disposal plants -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Water -- Purification -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Water tunnels -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Lakefront State Park (Ohio) -- Photographs. | Parks -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Recreation -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Gordon Park (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photographs.
