1	Title:	Swiss Hall Company Records
	Creator:	Swiss Hall Company
	Dates:	1917-1972
	Abstract:	The Swiss Hall Company, located in Cleveland, Ohio, incorporated in 1919. In 1917, members of various Swiss immigrant groups, including the Schweizer Maennerchor (later the Swiss Singing Society), the Schweizer Verien (Swiss Society), Schwiezer Turn Verein (Swiss Turner), and the Schweizerischen Frauen Verien (Swiss Ladies Aid Society) established the Vereinigte Schweizer Vereine (United Swiss Societies) for the purpose of finding a permanent home for the various Swiss Societies. The Swiss Hall Company purchased the old Tuxedo Hall, 2710 Walton Avenue, which became the focal point of Swiss community life in Cleveland. Eventually, the Schwiezer Damenchor (Swiss Women's Chorus), the Dramatic Club, and the Ladies Sewing Circle joined the four founding organizations as stockholding members of the Swiss Hall Company. The Company was responsible for the management and maintenance of the Hall, and eventually for screening and admitting applicants for the individual social societies. Sometime between 1928-1933, the Swiss Hall Company purchased land on Brecksville Road as a summer recreation ground referred to as Swiss Grove or Swiss Farm. The Farm was sold in 1948. In 1993, the Hall was sold and the Swiss Hall Company was disbanded. The collection consists of minute books, account books, financial reports, membership records, and correspondence.
