3501	Title:	WELCOME Photographs
	Creator:	WELCOME
	Dates:	1978-1982
	Abstract:	WELCOME (Westsiders and Eastsiders Let's Come Together) was founded in 1978 in Cleveland, Ohio, by teachers, parents, and concerned citizens to create an atmosphere of peace and racial cooperation in response to the possibility of violence during the desegregation of the Cleveland Public Schools. WELCOME activities, which involved community centers and churches, included a series of bridgewalks across the Detroit Superior Bridge, the distribution of tee-shirts, the establishment of WELCOME committees at each school, and WELCOME wagons that visited neighborhoods. Once desegregation took place, WELCOME clubs were formed in the newly desegregated schools. The most active students in each club formed the citywide WELCOME Leadership Institute in 1980, funded by the Cleveland and Gund Foundations. In 1984, funding ended, and the Leadership Institute evolved into Youth United to Oppose Apartheid. WELCOME and the Leadership Institute ceased to exist. The collection consists of individual and group portraits, including Congressman Louis Stokes, WELCOME co-founder Michael Charney, C. J. Prentiss, Gail Long, Rev. Donald Jacobs, Bishop Hickey, Russell Shroeder, and Stanley Tolliver. Views include images of the Bridgewalks and other programs, including those of the WELCOME Leadership Institute.

3509	Title:	Windermere United Methodist Church Photographs
	Creator:	Windermere United Methodist Church
	Dates:	1908-1962
	Abstract:	The Windermere United Methodist Church of East Cleveland, Ohio, was informally organized in the 1890s. In 1899, the society to establish a permanent church was organized. Services were held 1902-1909 in the Old Euclid Avenue Road House at Euclid and Holyoke Avenues, as the Windermere Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1909, a new church, designed by architect J. B. Fulton and located at the Euclid and Holyoke Avenues site, was dedicated. Early pastors included Reverends Ner W. Stroup, E. A. Jester, Harry B. Lewis, W. B. Armington, and Battelle McCarthy. By 1915 it had 910 members. In the 1920s, a parsonage and hall were built. In 1939, with a merger on the national level of various Methodist bodies, the name was changed to Windermere Methodist Church. Membership grew to over 1800 by 1958. In 1946, the church, with the exception of the church tower and hall, was destroyed by fire. A new church, designed by the architectural firm of Maier, Walsh, and Dickerson, was completed in 1954. The Austin Memorial Chapel, designed by Travis Gower Walsh and Associates, was dedicated in 1962. In 1968, with another national church merger that created the United Methodist Church, the name was changed to Windermere United Methodist Church. In the 1960s, Windermere United Methodist Church struggled to develop an integrated church, and joined the East Side Cooperative Ministry in order to coordinate a ministerial plan for the rapidly changing population. Services included halfway houses, daycare, and neighborhood recreation programs. Predominantly African-American in membership by the 1980s, Windermere United Methodist Church was well known for its community outreach efforts, including Cleveland Food Rescue, anti-drug and gang programs for youth, daycare services, and other community redevelopment efforts. In 2000 the Austin Memorial Foundation gave the Windermere Taskforce-East Cleveland Initiative a grant to utilize the church facilities to expand community programs. In 2013, the church building was deemed unsafe by the church trustees, and the remaining 50 church members voted to move to Church of the Savior Methodist Church in Cleveland Heights. The Windermere church property was turned over to the North Coast District of the United Methodist Church in 2013. The collection consists of individual portraits of church members; group portraits of church organizations, including choirs, Junior Auxiliary, Sunday School, Men's Club, Women's Society, and various pastors of the church; and views of the exterior and interior of the church and Stroup Hall, cornerstone ceremonies in 1909 and 1947, Austin Memorial Chapel interior, the parsonage, and images of the 1946 church fire and damage.

3519	Title:	Beth Am Congregation Photographs
	Creator:	Beth Am Congregation
	Dates:	1950-1998
	Abstract:	Beth Am Congregation, a Conservative Jewish congregation in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was founded in 1933 as the Community Temple by Rabbi Abraham Nowak and a group who belonged to B'nai Jeshurun Congregation (then known as Temple on the Heights). The founders wanted their new synagogue to be more welcoming to all Jews, regardless of their wealth or status. The congregation established administrative offices at 241 Euclid Avenue; services and school classes were held at Coventry School in Cleveland Heights. After meeting at several rented locations, the congregation purchased a large house on Washington Boulevard. By 1940, however, the need was seen for a permanent structure, and a building fund was established. In 1947 Beth Am purchased the Trinity Congregational Church at 3557 Washington Boulevard. The new rabbi, Jack J. Herman, was named the same year. The congregation continued to grow, and by 1956 had 600 families with 500 students in the religious school. A fire in 1957 destroyed much of the lower level of the building, including two Torahs and synagogue records; the congregation met on the campus of John Carroll University until repairs were effected. Rabbi Herman served the congregation until his death in 1969. Rabbi Michael Hecht was installed late in 1970. In 1971 the congregation dedicated a new religious school named for Rabbi Herman, constructed on land adjacent to the synagogue. From 1974 through the congregation's merger with B'nai Jeshurun in 1999, there were financial deficits that made it difficult for the congregation to sustain itself. The Jewish community was moving farther east, and membership decreased. A congregant offered land at the intersection of Cedar and Lander Roads in Mayfield Heights, provided that the membership could raise the monies necessary for a new building. In spite of a positive feasibility study, and plans unveiled by the architectural firm Finegold Alexander and Associates, the fundraising goals were not met and Beth Am sold its Washington Boulevard Building to the New Bible Fellowship Church and merged with B'nai Jeshurun Congregation in 1999. The collection consists of 142 black-and-white and 96 color prints, 17 thirty-five millimeter slides, 24 transparencies, and one rendering.
