This corner was included in the farmland purchased from Liberty E. Holden and Martha C. Ford for the relocation of Case School of Applied Science and Western Reserve University. The entire property was bounded by Euclid Avenue on the north, Adelbert Road on the east, the railroad tracks on the south, and Doan Brook and Stearns Road (currently known as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) on the west.
WRU acquired the corner when the property was divided between the two schools. Case took the western side and WRU the eastern side. The corner remained vacant for over a decade. In the more than 138 years of University ownership, only two buildings have occupied the site: Henry R. Hatch Library (1895-1956) and the Newton D. Baker Memorial Building (1957-2004).
This 1890 view of the WRU and Case campuses was taken from about Euclid Avenue and East 107th Street. Pictured here are Adelbert Main with the steeple-like tower, and Case Main with the shorter tower. Case School of Applied Science 1
