The area now known as the Gateway District has always been the southern and eastern entry point into Cleveland. Having three National Register Districts in its boundaries, with architecture from the 1870s to the 1930s, it is a treasure trove of adaptive re-use. Happening after the Warehouse District, it was next-up on building a new neighborhood from the 1990s to today.
Characters you may meet along the tour: Garrett Morgan and Francis Payne-Bolton
