Cleveland, Ohio

The stone Gothic Revival church on Church Avenue was finished in 1838 and is the oldest consecrated building in Cuyahoga County. Cleveland went by the code name Station Hope on the Underground Railroad because it was the last stop before the water crossing to Canada. People waiting for a boat are said to have sheltered in this bell tower, then one of the tallest structures in the city, watching the river and the lake for a signal.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
