Abstract

Two views representing the residences of J.H. Ammon in Euclid [current-day Cleveland], and the Murch house in Rocky River, Ohio. Views show the landscape, houses and other buildings, streets, horse-drawn carriages, people, shore line, and boats. Black and white lithograph. View is 37 x 34 cm, on sheet 41 x 37 cm.<br />Atlas of Cuyahoga County Ohio, by D.J. Lake; published by Titus, Simmons and Titus in Philadelphia, 1874. Tall folio, bound in original Morocco-backed boards. Includes a title page and table of contents. Atlas comprised of 55 maps (plus 24 ancillary maps throughout) and 129 individual views on 100 plates. The first half of the atlas represents the city of Cleveland, showing its various wards and the homes of prosperous residents. The second half presents towns and villages surrounding Cleveland. Maps show railways, roads, property ownership, drainage and shorelines, while the views provide pictorial details such as the landscape, architecture, horse-drawn carriages, trolleys, and people. Hand-colored maps engraved by Worley and Bracher, with views lithographed by H.J. Toudy. Many of the townships represented in the volume have since been absorbed into current-day Cleveland, making this a historical document of the previous township boundaries in the area.
