According to local architectural historian Craig Bobby, the houses at 2202, 2208 and 2210 East 83rd Street have been standing on that street since the 1870s. Their owners in 1882 were among the 104 defendants sued by William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who was attempting to recover his grandfather's 55-acre farm on Euclid Avenue. The photos above are of the house at 2208 East 83rd Street. The photo on the left, taken in 1963, reveals, according to Bobby, many of the house's nineteenth century architectural features still in place in that year. However, they were largely removed in subsequent modernizations of the house as is evident in the 2019 Google Map photo on the right of the same house. | Source: Left photo: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection; Right photo: Google MapsDownload Original File
