Join us for this presentation on Cleveland's Millionaires' Row by local author and historian Alan Dutka.
The incredible affluence and astounding extravagance of Euclid Avenue’s “Millionaires’ Row” have fascinated Clevelanders for more than a century. Within these stately mansions, United States Presidents enjoyed dinners and discussions with powerful politicians and influential industrial and banking leaders. Join us for this presentation by local author Alan Dutka on Cleveland’s Millionaires' Row. He will answer the most often-asked questions regarding the famous avenue: where were these elegant mansions located, how did their occupants acquire such enormous wealth, what caused the street’s demise and what replaced the famous old homes? In addition, Mr. Dutka will reveal the remarkable progress accomplished in remaking Euclid Avenue’s four-mile stretch from Public Square to University Circle. Cleveland’s Millionaires Row vividly illustrates the birth, glamor, decline and renaissance of the grand old avenue.
