St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church
CRS Members and Parishioners Only Event
10 am to Noon
|
|
Don’t miss your chance for an up-close look at this Cleveland Landmark's remarkable art and architecture! Explore the parish's rich cultural history as you tour the church, rectory, and Boe
hm Hall and Museum.
After the tour, join us for a light lunch and Hungarian pastries available for purchase in Boehm Hall.
St. Elizabeth of Hungary was founded as Cleveland’s first Hungarian Catholic Church in 1892. Construction on the current church building began in 1918 and concluded in 1922.
Built primarily of limestone, according to a design of Cleveland architect Emile Uhlrich, the church is an example of Italian-influenced Baroque Revival architecture, partly modeled after the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone in Rome. Two great towers, topped with cupolas, form the ends of the facade, while a great rose window sits in the middle section of the facade high above the main entrance.
In 1976, St. Elizabeth's Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its place in the area's history and because of its historically significant architecture.

SAVE THE BALDWIN-BUSS HOUSE
|
|
For decades, the Baldwin-Buss House, popularly known as the Merino House, was hidden in plain sight on the Hudson Village Green. Built in 1825, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful homes in Hudson, but today, its future is uncertain. A 2015 plan would have moved the house from its original foundation to make room for commercial development. Although the 2015 plan fell through, the threat of commercial development remains.
The Baldwin-Buss Foundation feels a sense of extreme urgency with their mission to raise the funds necessary to purchase, rehabilitate and return the historic house to productive use. Cleveland Restoration Society supports them in their efforts.

Each year, the National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of
America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places
sheds light on important examples of our nation’s heritage that are at risk of destruction or irreparable damage. Over 300 places have been listed in its 32-year history, and in that time, fewer than 5 percent of listed sites have been lost.
The 2019 list includes a diverse mix of historic places across America that face a range of challenges and threats, from climate change to inappropriate development to neglect and disuse.
