Cleveland Arcade photograph
No full textPictured is an interior view of the Cleveland Arcade photographed on April 6, 1937. The Arcade was one of the first indoor shopping centers in the United States. Built in 1890, the Romanesque style building was financed by some of Cleveland’s most respected businessmen such as John D. Rockerfeller, Charles Bush, Louis Severance and Steven V. Harkness, among others. Gold emblem images of Harkness and Bush can be seen on the Arcade’s exterior. The building was designed by John M. Eisenmann and George H. Smith who modeled it after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy. It features five indoor balconies and two ten-story towers that were used for offices. The arcade underwent a $60 million renovation that was completed in May of 2001. Currently, the two towers and top three levels of the Arcade’s atrium are occupied by the Hyatt Regency Cleveland hotel. The rest of the Arcade is occupied by shops and restaurants
Nomination for President for the Democratic Party of 1888
No full textUnique document composed by the Nominating Committee of the National Democratic Party 1888 presented to Grover Cleveland for renomination during his first presidency. Signed by representatives from every state and territory within the nation.Courtesy of the State of New Jersey Division of Environmental Protection, the Grover Cleveland Birthplace Historic Site, Caldwell, New Jersey.Washington, D. C., June 26-th, 1888. - To the Honorable Grover Cleveland of New York. -
Sir: - The Delegates to the National Democratic Convention, representing every State and Territory of our Union, having assembled in the city of Saint Louis on June 5-th inst. for the purpose of nominating Candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States, it has become the honorable and pleasing duty of this Committee to formally announce to you, that without a ballot, you were, by acclamation, chosen as the Standard bearer of the Democratic Party for the Chief Executiveship of this Country, at the election to be held in November next. Great as is such a distinction under any circumstances, it is the more flattering and profound when it is remembered that you have been selected as your own successor to an office, the duties of which, always onerous, have been rendered of an extraordinarily sensitive, difficult and delicate nature because of a change of Political Parties and methods, after twenty-four years of uninterrupted domination. This exaltation is, if possible, added to by the fact that the Declaration of Principles - based upon your last Annual Message to the Congress of the United States relative to a Tariff-reduction and a diminution of the expenses of the Government - throws down the direct and defiant challenge, "for an exacting scrutiny of the administration of the executive power, which four years ago was committed in its trust to the election of Grover Cleveland President of the United States, and for the most searching enquiry concerning its fidelity and devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people." An engrossed copy of that platform - adopted without a dissenting voice - is herewith tendered to you. In conveying, Sir, to you, the responsible trust which has been confided to them, this Committee beg, individually and collectively, to express the great pleasure which they have felt at the results attending the National Convention of the Democratic Party, and to offer to you their best wishes for official and personal success and happiness. - We have the honor, Sir, to be - Your Obedient Servants, - Patrick A.
