Ever wonder how some streets came to be named what they were? In many cases, streets were named for the property owner or for a member of their family.

Many street names were lost forever in 1906 when the city of Cleveland decided to rename all north-south running streets with numbers.

Old Version vs New Version:

Botany Avenue - Between W.14th St. and W.16th St.
Bridgeview Avenue - West 23rd St. (south of Denison Ave)
Clayton Avenue - South of Denison Ave
Newburgh St. - Denison Ave
