The Cleveland Union Station:
Cross sectional view of the station area, looking north from the canal road. Illustration from the book.
When the Cleveland Union Terminal was formally opened in 1930, this souvenir dedication book was issued, explaining the new project and showing beautiful drawings of the facility.
Although not credited in the orginal book, the illustrations appear to be the work of John Kemeny, noted illustrator of Hungarian language publications in Cleveland at the time and we have secured the cooperation of the Kemeny family members that we have been able to locate.
This edition contains all the text and images found in the original 1930 book and appears with the cooperation of the Chicago architectural firm, Graham Anderson Probst & White.
Credits
Thanks goes to Shelia Harris, who typed the text, and to Jonetha K. Jackson who converted it to html, scanned the images, and brought the project to completion. Bill Barrow provided oversight and added some final enhancements and Bill Becker provied logistical support. All are members of the Special Collections staff at the Cleveland State University Library at the time this Web edition was prepared.

We have good reason to believe that the unattributed art work in the book is by local illustrator John Kemeny and we have secured the cooperation of those members of his family whom we have been able to locate.

Disclaimer
Although every effort was made to insure the accuracy of this edition, as measured against the original book, we do not guarantee that it is an identical copy. Indeed, in some instances we determined that minor modifications of layout and other changes would enhance the digital presentation of this work and were incorporated.
Furthermore, we have added some features that we believe make the web edition easier to use than a literal replication of the print edition would provide. But none of these additions or changes detract from the intellectual integrity of Mr. Seltzer's original work.
We do not represent that we hold any copyright to the original work (see permissions) work, or any photographs appearing here -- just this digital edition.
We hope you enjoy this work and find it valuable.
