| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Bellefaire Photographs, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Bellefaire | | | | Dates: | 1867-1995 | | | | Abstract: | Bellefaire, a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed adolescents, is the oldest Jewish social-service agency in Cleveland, Ohio. It was dedicated on July 14, 1868 as the Jewish Orphan Asylum, established to care for Civil War orphans. By 1900, more than 400 orphans lived there. The name was changed to the Jewish Orphan Home (JOH) in 1919, and later to Bellefaire when its facilities moved to the corner of Belvoir and Fairmount boulevards in 1929. In 1942 the orphanage changed its focus to include residential therapeutic care for emotionally disturbed children and stopped accepting orphans in 1943. In 1954, Bellefaire opened its admissions to children of all faiths and today provides counseling, substance abuse treatment, foster care, adoption services, and residential treatment. The Jewish Orphan Home Alumni Association was established in 1888 to serve and connect the orphans who formerly lived at the Jewish Orphan Home. The Association held Homecomings each year in Cleveland and had several active chapters located throughout the country. "Graduates" of JOH were designated by the year of their confirmation class. The collection consists of approximately two hundred and thirty photographs of residents, alumni, family of alumni, staff, athletic teams, and the Jewish Orphan Home campus. Notable alumni represented in this collection are JOH assistant superintendent Jack Girick and actor Lou Gilbert. | | | | Call #: | PG 571 | | | | Extent: | 0.41 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Girick, Jack -- Photographs. | Gilbert, Lou, 1909-1978 -- Photographs. | Bellefaire Jewish Children's Home (Shaker Heights, Ohio) -- Photograph collections. | Jewish Orphan Asylum (Shaker Heights, Ohio) -- Photograph collections. | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities -- Photographs. | Children -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish children -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Child welfare -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Orphanages -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| | | | Creator: | Halle Bros. Co. | | | | Dates: | 1893-1975 | | | | Abstract: | The Halle Brothers Company (1891-1982), a department store known for high quality merchandise and superior service, began on February 7, 1891 as a small hat and fur shop operated by brothers Samuel H. (1868-1954) and Salmon P. Halle (1866-1949). It was located at 221 Superior Street near Public Square in Cleveland, Ohio. They purchased the business from Captain T. S. Paddock. In 1893 the business was moved to Euclid Avenue and East 4th Street due to a need for more space. It was also around this time that women's ready to wear clothing began to be carried by the store. In 1902 the company was incorporated, changing its name from Halle Brothers to The Halle Bros. Co. The store continued to grow, adding both space and departments. A new building was constructed at Euclid and East 12th Street where the company moved in 1910. An addition was opened in 1914 allowing for the addition of new departments including furniture, toys, and sporting goods. In 1921 Salmon P. Halle resigned as president to devote himself to philanthropic work and other private interests. Samuel Halle then became president. By 1927 a new building, the Huron-Prospect store was opened in the Playhouse Square district. Branch stores were opened in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 1929 and Canton, Ohio, in 1930. Although losses did occur during the Depression, business bounced back after World War II allowing Halle Bros. Co. to open suburban branches, beginning with a Shaker Square store in 1948. Walter Halle, son of Samuel, became president in 1946 and Samuel moved to the position of chairman of the board. There was also expansion to their main downtown Euclid Avenue store which was completed in 1949. Problems began to arise in the 1960s stemming from their over-expanded downtown store and sales competition from stores such as the Higbee Co. and May Co. In 1970 Halle Bros. Co. was merged with Marshall Field and Company of Chicago. Operations continued to decline and Chisholm Halle, son of Walter who had become president in 1966, resigned in 1974. Medium-priced goods were introduced but failed help the stores and in 1981 they were sold to Associated Investors Corporation which closed or sold all stores in 1982. The collection consists of approximately ten containers (8.0 linear feet) of photographs and three containers (2.0 linear feet) of negatives plus six glass plate negatives and 20 transparencies detailing, among other things, employee portraits, employees' activities inside and outside of the workplace, portraits of executives, exterior and interior views of the store and its branches, store promotions, and major events in the company's history. | | | | Call #: | PG 574 | | | | Extent: | 10.25 linear feet (13 containers, 5 Oversize Folders and 1 Oversize Volume) | | | | Subjects: | Halle Bros.

| | | | Creator: | Van Sweingen Company | | | | Dates: | 1910-1930 | | | | Abstract: | The Van Sweringen Company (f. 1905) was a joint venture in Cleveland, Ohio, of brothers M. J. and O. P. Van Sweringen. The company's focus was primarily land development, as well as investments in the railroad industry. The company developed land that had been part of the North Union Shaker Community in the nineteenth century, creating Shaker Village, which eventually became Shaker Heights, Ohio. The Van Sweringens were the driving force in the construction of Cleveland's Terminal Tower building and Union Station. They developed the rapid transit line that connects much of the greater Cleveland area to downtown for ease of access for Shaker Village residents to travel from their homes to downtown. Shaker Heights was one of the very few planned suburbs of its time. There were strict building and construction guidelines, and the land was not developed on a grid, but with winding roads and other sophisticated flourishes that made it an appealing place of residence, especially those who owned automobiles. The Van Sweringens started by developing transportation lines throughout Shaker and what is now Cleveland Heights before extending their reach to downtown. They bought 51% interest in a 523 mile stretch of railroad track from the New York Central Railroad in 1915. From this point on, they extended their reach in the railroad industry and continued to invest in other companies, eventually controlling 30,000 miles of track. After they had successfully taken control of rights to build track through downtown Cleveland, they then began construction on Union Station and Terminal Tower. The Tower was originally intended as a new space for offices and businesses. Before the Depression, the value of the brothers' holdings was estimated to be $3 billion. After the Depression, the value plummeted drastically. M. J. died in 1934, and O. P. never quite recovered from the loss. He died just two years later. The collection consists of a drawing, a scrapbook, and photographic prints of varying sizes. All together, the collection consists of approximately 268 photographs. | | | | Call #: | PG 565 | | | | Extent: | 0.40 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Van Sweringen Company. -- Photographs. | Real estate developers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Real estate developers -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Real estate development -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Real estate development -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | House construction -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Architecture -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Architecture, Domestic -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Interior architecture -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Suburban homes -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights -- Photographs. | Business enterprises -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| | | | Creator: | Ameritrust Corporation | | | | Dates: | 1890-1990 | | | | Abstract: | Ameritrust Corporation began in 1894 when The Cleveland Trust Company was founded in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland Trust then assumed the contracts of the Security Safe Deposit and Trust Company, also located in Cleveland, Ohio. Beginning in 1903, Cleveland Trust acquired or merged with several other savings banks, including The Windemere Savings and Trust Company and The Western Reserve Trust Company. Cleveland Trust promoted innovative operating policies and procedures, including the establishment of an advertising department in 1913. It increased its number of branch offices through additional mergers, including Lake Shore Banking and Trust Company and The Garfield Savings Bank. Growth continued during the 1920s with the acquisition of the Pearl Street Savings and Trust Company. Two more banks were acquired in the 1930s; Midland Bank and South Euclid Bank. A new six story office building at East 9th Street and Huron Road was constructed in 1962. An adjacent office tower was completed in 1971. In 1974, CleveTrust Corporation, a bank holding company, was formed, with Cleveland Trust as the lead bank. Cleveland Trust was one of six local banks holding short-term notes of the City of Cleveland when financial difficulties in 1978 lead to the city's default on these loans. In 1979, The Cleveland Trust Company's name was changed to AmeriTrust Corporation. In 1986, the name was changed to Ameritrust Corporation. In 1991, Ameritrust merged with Society Corporation, and in 1992, went out of existence as a corporate entity. The collection consists of individual portraits of bank officials, directors, and corporate employees and their organizations, and views of banking facilities and marketing campaigns. A large portion of the collection consists of views of bank branches and views of the 1906-1908 construction and later renovation of the Cleveland Trust main office. Photographs of architectural detail images of the rotunda of the main branch by Margaret Bourke-White are included. The 1969-1971 construction of the tower office building addition to the main office located at Euclid Ave. and East 9th St. is also well depicted.

The collection also illustrates changes in banking equipment and facilities during the twentieth century. Also included are portraits of officers and employees of banks acquired by the Cleveland Trust Company. Other photographs of officers, directors, and corporate employees were integral to and retained with biographical materials in MS 4750 Ameritrust Corporation Records. | | | | Call #: | PG 482 | | | | Extent: | 5.80 linear feet (11 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Bourke-White, Margaret, 1904-1971 -- Photograph collections. | Ameritrust Corporation -- Photograph collections. | Cleveland Trust Company -- Photograph collections. | Banks and banking -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Bank holding companies -- Ohio -- Photographs. | Bank mergers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Savings banks -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Bank buildings -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Bank marketing -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Advertising -- Banks and banking -- Photographs. | Banks and banking -- Public relations -- Photographs. | Branch banks -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Bank employees -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.
