Today’s Photo: James A. Garfield Monument
Located in beautiful Lakeview Cemetery, the James A. Garfield Monument is the final resting place of the 20th President of the United States and his family. Lake View’s most famous memorial was paid for by contributions from the citizens of the United States, and dedicated in 1890. It rests on the highest point in the Cemetery. From the second floor balcony, visitors can enjoy a five-mile view of downtown Cleveland and Lake Erie.
President Garfield is the only American President that you would be able to visit his birthplace, home and final resting place in one day.

Today’s Photo: The Greenbrier Suite
This is a photo of the 2 story Great Hall of the Greenbrier Suite. The Greenbrier Suite was secret residence of the Van Sweringen Brothers and it is located inside the Terminal Tower. That’s right, it is located on the 12th, 13th, and 14th floors of the Terminal Tower in downtown Cleveland.
This stunning home was built to rival the mansions located on Euclid Ave. It was built in English Gothic style with oak paneling and marble fireplaces.
Who are the Van Sweringen Brothers you ask? Oris and Mantis Van Sweringen were two Clevelanders who created a $3 billion, 30,000-mi.
railroad and real estate empire. They also were the builders of the Terminal Tower and the real-estate developers of Shaker Hts.
