Please see images for scans. The photograph shows the historic Dunham Tavern in Cleveland, Ohio, a notable landmark from the stagecoach era. The tavern is captured from the front, featuring its wooden facade and surrounding landscape. The sign in front reads "Old Dunham Tavern," highlighting its importance to Cleveland's history as it celebrates its sesquicentennial founding anniversary. Dunham Tavern is one of the few surviving structures from Cleveland's pioneer days, now a "historical house" maintained by the Cleveland Society of Collectors. The city of Cleveland, founded by General Moses Cleaveland, was celebrating its 150th anniversary in 1946. This photograph was intended for publication in newspapers on March 3, 1946, as part of a feature story on these celebrations.
