Then and Now: 350 East 266th Street

Here's a Monday quicky, a photo from the Cleveland Press of 350 East 266th street being built in the summer of 1945.

Pre-1900's Euclid: 780 East 250th Street

Euclid has a wide variety of housing stock. Take a drive up and down a few streets and you'll see it change in size, style, and decade several times over.

The population in Euclid jumped considerably between 1920 and 1930, the population nearly quadrupling (3,363 people in 1920 compared to 12,751 in 1930) and again, in 1940 through 1950, going from 17,866 to roughly 41,396.

Myself, I live in a 1940's era cape cod, and across the street and a block over, the houses are 1960's bungalows. And whilst there is plenty of variety, it is within those decades of growth that most of our homes were erected.

This entry and this home will be the first in a series of homes that have withstood time and hundreds of chilly winters and still stand today in Euclid. Pre-1900's Euclid. Enjoy.

In 1874, Henry Devoe (b. abt. 1841) owned the parcel that is now 780 East 250th street, along with a large chunk of the area around it. He was a farmer and had a wife, Sarah E. Devoe (nee Snyder, b. abt. 1850), and two children; Frank E. Devoe (b. 1872) and Mina Augusta Devoe (b. 1874).

Henry L. Devoe circa God knows.
