{"id":21,"ordinal":0,"featured":0,"title":"Shaker Heights","creator":null,"description":"<p>This tour was created in partnership with the City of Shaker Heights and the Shaker Heights Public Library. \r\n\r\nAs Shaker Heights celebrates its centennial anniversary throughout 2012, explore the history of the city's origins and its development into one of the nation's most distinguished planned communities.  Using our surroundings as a departure point, we can discover stories of the region's founders and earliest settlers, the growth of Shaker Heights into the most prosperous and exclusive rail suburb in America, the rise and fall of the reclusive Van Sweringen brothers' real estate and railroad empires, and the social, cultural and demographic changes that have altered the face of the city.  These stories are reflected in the city's impressive architecture and unique urban design.  Inscribed into the landscape, the city's 100 years of history can be seen at every turn.</p>","postscript_text":"","tour_img":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/1dc25e5ec5be8090d9d137bf06dfe245.jpg","items":[{"id":21,"title":"Terminal Tower","latitude":41.4983407152000012274584150873124599456787109375,"longitude":-81.69392824170000722006079740822315216064453125,"thumbnail":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/square_thumbnails/1dc25e5ec5be8090d9d137bf06dfe245.jpg","fullsize":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/1dc25e5ec5be8090d9d137bf06dfe245.jpg","subtitle":"Cleveland's Signature Skyscraper","address":"50 Public Square, Cleveland, OH","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":55,"title":"The Shaker Lakes Freeway Fight","latitude":41.4855628047999971386161632835865020751953125,"longitude":-81.574559211700034211389720439910888671875,"thumbnail":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/square_thumbnails/pressmap_b2ecb8b971.jpg","fullsize":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/pressmap_b2ecb8b971.jpg","subtitle":"Saving the Shaker Parklands","address":"2600 South Park Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44120","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":66,"title":"The Van Sweringen Brothers","latitude":41.48387496779999850105014047585427761077880859375,"longitude":-81.59040570259998048641136847436428070068359375,"thumbnail":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/square_thumbnails/0bc0fb99ae7d596b3c71cca9c19c7acd.jpg","fullsize":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/0bc0fb99ae7d596b3c71cca9c19c7acd.jpg","subtitle":"Cleveland's Visionary Developers","address":"Shaker Square, Cleveland, OH","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":423,"title":"Pioneers, Manxmen and Shakers at the Warrensville West Cemetery","latitude":41.46548450611300040691276080906391143798828125,"longitude":-81.56431301534399835873045958578586578369140625,"thumbnail":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/square_thumbnails/c335d571cce23002c94d6956b4ef0f60.jpg","fullsize":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/c335d571cce23002c94d6956b4ef0f60.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":"Warrensville West Cemetery, Shaker Heights, OH","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":422,"title":"Jacob Russell Grave","latitude":41.48264900000000210411599255166947841644287109375,"longitude":-81.56183160000000498257577419281005859375,"thumbnail":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/square_thumbnails/ca3eb26d17c5448f7e589424a24548be.jpg","fullsize":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/ca3eb26d17c5448f7e589424a24548be.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":"South Park Blvd and Lee Rd, Shaker Heights, OH","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":409,"title":"The Vans' Engineers","latitude":41.48693233182344641818417585454881191253662109375,"longitude":-81.5750849246978759765625,"thumbnail":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/square_thumbnails/965a23c73b03d57294e22df291757181.jpg","fullsize":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/965a23c73b03d57294e22df291757181.jpg","subtitle":"F.
