| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation | | | | Dates: | 1930-1971 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation was founded in 1925 by Leo Weidenthal as the Civic Progress League. In 1926 the name was changed to the Cleveland Cultural Garden League, and in 1952 to the Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation. Weidenthal conceived the idea of a series of gardens, each having a central theme concerning the history of a single nationality group in Cleveland, Ohio. The City of Cleveland and the Work Projects Administration did much of the work on the earlier gardens after a 1927 ordinance set aside areas of Rockefeller Park next to the Shakespeare Garden for the development of similar gardens with ethnic themes. The collection consists of photographs and drawings relating to Cleveland, Ohio's Cultural Gardens, including dedications of the Gardens, sculpture within them, and individuals associated with the Gardens. Also included are views of various "One World Day" celebrations. | | | | Call #: | PG 183 | | | | Extent: | 0.41 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation -- Photograph collections. | Community gardens -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Gardens -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.
