When Cleveland Had a Subway

A photographic essay of the history of the Detroit-Superior (now Veterans Memorial) Bridge subway, When Cleveland Had a Subway recalls the short era when streetcars traveled below ground in Cleveland. Between 1918 and 1954, Cleveland did have a subway of sorts. The lower deck of the Detroit-Superior Bridge witnessed the constant squeal of streetcars upon their rails. The line that ran from Public Square West at its height brought thousands of West-siders and others to and from Clevelands downtown area. The short time period is a period of nostalgia for many who experienced it, and the book brings back those memories.
