As a bit of an old house curmudgeon, I've found the relatively minimal documentation of bathrooms and kitchens over the years to be quite frustrating, especially as these are the rooms most likely to be changed. <br /><br />Alas, the Arlington Branch no longer exists - or at least not under that name. I'll have to look into that. <br /><br />Again, I appreciate you making these photos available. I'm going to try to take some exterior shots from the same angles the next time I go past it.Christopher Busta-Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428701548572867797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796029456208178476.post-42900628615034979962009-07-20T20:28:09.665-07:002009-07-20T20:28:09.665-07:00Isn't Flickr fun??

I must give credit for these family photos to either my father or my mother who purchased the needs-a-little-love house in 1957 when my father, a life long GE employee, was transferred from Schenectady to Cleveland to work in steel mill engineering. My father died in 1987 and my mother eventually sold the house. It is my understanding that the area was developed after access to downtown was available via the Rapid Transit.<br />My husband and I and our two small children used the servant's quarters while my husband was in graduate school at Western Reserve. It was a wonderful family home, spacious and on a large lot, the way homes in that neighborhood are. And I had the added benefit of getting to know my younger siblings better than I had, since they were so young when I went to college and married. <br />You have a very nice blog. It was a delightful to find these pictures there. I began my library career at the Arlington Branch of the Cleveland Public Library. I wonder if it is still there.
