Preserving the Vanishing City delves into the distinctive challenges, circumstances, and opportunities faced by the historic preservation community in Cleveland during the 1970s and 1980s. While proponents of preservation advocated for the economic and revitalization benefits derived from saving and repurposing older buildings, population loss and economic contraction led to decades of deterioration, underinvestment, vacancy, and abandonment.
Stephanie Ryberg-Webster explores the motivations, strategies, and constraints driving the historic preservation sector in Cleveland, led by the public-sector Cleveland Landmarks Commission, nonprofit Cleveland Restoration Society, and a cohort of advocates. She sheds light on the ways in which preservationists confronted severe, escalating, and sustained urban decline, which plagued Cleveland, a prototypical rust-belt industrial city.
Preserving the Vanishing City chronicles the rise of the historic preservation profession in Cleveland and provides six case studies about targeted projects and neighborhood efforts, including industrial heritage, housing preservation and restoration, commercial district revitalization, securing local historic district designations, as well as grassroots organizing, coalition building, and partnerships. Ryberg-Webster also addresses the complexities of historic preservation within the context of rapid racial change in Cleveland's neighborhoods.
A comprehensive history of preservation within the context of one city's urban decline, Preserving the Vanishing City recounts the successes, failures, and creative strategies employed to save Cleveland's built environment.
