Erie Street Market

This is, more or less, how it looked when it was built, in 1908. There had been some urn-like thingummies on the top, and some relief carving around the top.
Edward Fallis designed it, and it was every bit as unusual then as these pictures look now. The whole place was remodelled in the 1970's.

St. Patrick's Church, Warehouse District


607 Monroe Street

In spite of the unified look, this is actually three buildings. They were designed by Carl Schon and built in 1875. At one time, there was a cast-iron eagle on the cornice in the middle.
The storefront at the left, until recently, was the home of Rensch's specialty food store. They moved here in 1888 and sold 24 varieties of cheese, at a time when that was far from an everyday occurrence.

Tony Packo's

A statue outside Tony Packo's location near Fifth Third Field, the Toledo Mudhens' home. You may remember Tony Packo's and the Hungarian hot dog, as well as the Mud Hens, from Toledo native Jamie Farr's portrayal of Max Klinger, on the television series MASH.
