In 1912, when the Village of Shaker Heights had less than 200 inhabitants, classes were taught in the Van Sweringen real estate office at Lee Road and Shaker Boulevard. Two years later, in 1914, Boulevard School was opened. The Town Hall moved in the office when the Shaker Heights Public School System moved out.Category
