In the 1850s the city erected a fence around Public Square to keep out carriage traffic. Ten years after this photo was taken, Superior Avenue and Ontario Street were reopened through the square, where they circled around the centrally located Perry Monument. This photo also shows the first fountain constructed in Cleveland, which occupied in the northeast quadrant. Second Presbyterian Church is visible in the distance (located where 200 Public Square now stands), as is Forest City House (located on the western edge of Public Square where the Renaissance Hotel now stands). | Date: 1857 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Digital GalleryDownload Original File
