Abandoned Cleveland: Ruins of the Rust Belt

This book explores abandoned buildings in Cleveland, exploring forgotten factories, schools, theaters, houses, even aquariums, nursing homes, and more. The story starts in the 1920s, when the city saw unprecedented growth. Fast forward to the 60s that saw a flight of many people from the urban area and further fast forward to the 2000s and 2010s that amounted to over 120,000 abandoned buildings in Cleveland, exploring what became of these places. Hauntingly beautiful, this explores the history of a city through these left-behind buildings—stories hidden in places they never left.
