St. Clair Street, from Madison, Downtown Toledo

The building at the right was the Boody House, Toledo's grand hotel. Every president from Grant to Taft stayed there. Behind it was the First Congregational Church. I'll be posting more on both buildings next week.

Toledo doesn't get quite as much snow as the surrounding area. ( Something to do with the western edge of the Lake ) Back then, they would certainly have gotten more than we do today, which is why the country has a water problem. The droughts keep getting worse because there's not enough snow melting.
