Description

Black-and-white Plain Dealer press photograph, published February 7, 1968, of the new Courtland Boulevard shelter of the Shaker Rapid Transit System. The glass and steel structure housed a solid oak bench and infrared heating system. The new shelter replaced a Tudor-style shelter, built in the 1930s, that was vandalized beyond repair.
