Book excerpt: In half a century Toledo was transformed from a fever-ridden swamp into a prosperous town with all the amenities of a major Midwestern city. The 1890s signaled the beginning of Toledos greatest architectural era, with new-fangled skyscrapers being constructed up and down Madison Avenue (without any power tools), grand theaters, a new luxury hotel, and the most lavish mansions in the Old West End. New inventions gave Toledoans more time to visit Walbridge Park, shop at Tiedtkes, or attend a Mud Hens game at Swayne Field. Toledo: A History in Architecture 18901914 looks at the cities most notable buildings and at the personalities and institutions of a long vanished era. Innovations like steel framed and reinforced concrete construction were revolutionizing architecture, and Toledos architects were working overtime on what would be their most important commissions, including the Nasby Building, Valentine Theater, and Lucas County Courthouse. Elegant churches rose on Collingwood Avenue, and in 1912 the white marble Toledo Museum of Art, the citys glittering jewel, was built.

These tales and more await as award-winning local broadcaster Lou Hebert shines a light into the forgotten corners of Glass City history.

Download or read book Toledo written by Barbara L. Floyd and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toledo began the 20th century as it had ended the 19th—with a rapid expansion in industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. The titans of industry who shaped Toledo's early history continued to expand their fortunes and were joined by others who took advantage of the city's potential. A new industry emerged from the bicycle factories and wagon works of the 19th century—the automobile industry. It would dominate Toledo's economy in the 20th century. In addition to Jeeps, scales, glass, spark plugs, and transmissions, Toledo was also known for its civic reforms, strong labor unions, and fine cultural institutions during the 20th century. While Toledo never became “The Future Great City of the World” that Jesup Scott envisioned or even the futuristic “Toledo Tomorrow” that Norman Bel Geddes imagined, by the end of the 20th century, it was a successful city with an interesting past and a hopeful future.

Download or read book Toledo Cathedral written by Tom Nickson and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Toledo is famous as a center of Arabic learning and as a home to sizable Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. Yet its cathedral—one of the largest, richest, and best preserved in all of Europe—is little known outside Spain. In Toledo Cathedral, Tom Nickson provides the first in-depth analysis of the cathedral’s art and architecture. Focusing on the early thirteenth to the late fourteenth centuries, he examines over two hundred years of change and consolidation, tracing the growth of the cathedral in the city as well as the evolution of sacred places within the cathedral itself. He goes on to consider this substantial monument in terms of its location in Toledo, Spain’s most cosmopolitan city in the medieval period. Nickson also addresses the importance and symbolic significance of Toledo’s cathedral to the city and the art and architecture of the medieval Iberian Peninsula, showing how it fits in with broader narratives of change in the arts, culture, and ideology of the late medieval period in Spain and in Mediterranean Europe as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Facts and Historical Events of the Toledo War of 1835: As Connected With the First Session of the Court of Common Pleas of Lucas County, Ohio At the semi-annual meeting of the Raisin Valley Historical Society, held at Tecumseh, Michigan, December 22d, 1868, at the close of an able and important address on the subject of the "Toledo War," the following Resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the address of the Hon. W. V. Way, of Perrysburg, Ohio, on the "Toledo War," with such modifications as may be desired, if any, by the writer, be requested for publication by this Society. Dear Sir: Herewith we transmit you a copy of the Resolution adopted by the Raisin Valley Historical Society, requesting for publication your impartial history of the almost forgotten "Toledo War." This history is of renewed interest and importance to our people at this time, in view of the petition of the citizens of Lake Superior district to the Legislature of Michigan to re-cede to the United States, so much of our Upper Peninsula as was annexed by an act of Congress to Michigan, in exchange for the loss of territory on our Southern border. The petitioners desire the formation of a Territorial government over the Upper Peninsula, with the hope of obtaining material aid from Congress to develops its natural wealth, until admitted in the Uinon as a separate State. If Michigan generously accedes to the prayer of the petitioners, will Ohio be equally generous and return to us the "disputed territory," made classic in our history during the "Toledo War," as the battle ground of pioneer chivalry?
