As a developing industrial city during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cleveland attracted diverse national groups. Their many churches and synagogues served as visual focal points and sociat centers in the city’s ethnic neighborhoods. Today the resulting ensemble of sacred landmarks adds much to Cleveland’s dynamic and visually interesting architecture. This guide, funded in part by the Ohio Arts and Humanities Councils, spotlights more than 120 of these structures with photographs, maps, and descriptive details about each building’s architectural significance, construction, architect(s), location, and congregation. In addition, the guide offers 10 driving tours to the sacred landmarks, all located within the city limits of Cleveland and classified by neighborhood―downtown, University Circle, Ohio City, and Tremont areas, among others. Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Sacred Landmarks Research Group of Cleveland State University. “This book is by far the best available repository of information on the architectural, aesthetic, and cultural resources represented by these buildings. Through this book, Clevelanders can better understand, appreciate, and, perhaps, better manage these priceless resources.” ―Dr. Michael J. Tevesz, Co-Director, Sacred Landmarks Research Group

Wright Panorama amplifies the artistry of Frank Lloyd Wright s architecture with expanse. In the more than 140 Tom Schiff panoramic photographs contained in Wright Panorama, Schiff reveals nearly eighty extant buildings in Wright s oeuvre from a unique perspective. Wright Panorama exhibits the great architect s prolific, varied, and iconic body of work, pulling from it a new shape and offering it renewed appeal. Eric Lloyd Wright s compelling foreword to Wright Panorama introduces Tom Schiff and four noteworthy Frank Lloyd Wright scholars Cara Armstrong, Scott W. Perkins, Margo Stipe, and Marta Wojcik. Since Wright s architecture embraced his strong belief in and respect for Nature, these scholars draw from this and contribute essays from a new nature-centric perspective. They further our understanding of the ways each of the natural elements earth, air, fire, and water influences Wright s life and work. In addition, these four essays utilize Schiff s images to more fully illustrate the involvement of the natural elements on Wright s organic architecture. In his preface to Wright Panorama, Schiff conveys his desire to acknowledge the true as well as extend our framework of seeing, of vision. Schiff likes that his panoramic photography is true to the landscape as seen by the naked eye and is both expansive and challenging. He sees the resulting panoramic image in Wright Panorama as a unique way to see Frank Lloyd Wright s interiors and exteriors, from all vantage points, in one image. Wright Panorama is a continual discovery: A new way of viewing, a new way of discovering the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
