This exhibit was prepared by the staff of the University Archives in conjunction with the redesign of the southwest corner of Euclid Avenue and Adelbert Road. It shows how this corner, most recently the site of the Baker Building, has been used by the University since the move to University Circle in 1882.  Updates to this page, including a section on the binary walkway, will be coming soon. 

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.
