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.
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
