North Royalton Branch

Large Meeting Room 121 & 122 (126)

Author Laura DeMarco takes a look back at some of Cleveland's lost treasures of it's glorious past.

Explore the rise and fall and the spirit of a gritty city that clawed it's way back, featuring more than 200 photos and 65 lost landmarks from the 1800s to today.  The author of Lost Cleveland and Cleveland: Then & Now, Laura DeMarco, will take guests on a visual and oral tour through Cleveland's glorious past and the ghosts that inspire us today.  "Lost" places include architectural gems, elegant theaters, famous concert halls and stadiums, grand department stores and bustling factories that helped turn Cleveland into America's fifth-biggest city - and one of its most prosperous. 

Sponsored by The Friends of the North Royalton Library.
