HIS BOOK DE-
scribes the many activities at the old Cudell
House, which has become the Crafts and Arts
Center of the City of Cleveland and also the
West Side Garden Center. The basic text was
prepared by the Cleveland unit of the Ohio
Writers' Project under the supervision of Alice
J. Miskell; the book was produced by a unit
under the supervision of Emerson Hansel. The
Ohio Writers' Project acknowledges gratefully
the assistance of Miss Anne Hagar, who photo¬
graphed the formal opening of the West Side
Garden Center; Mrs. Eugenia Cudell, who sup¬
plied several photographs and much useful
information; and Miss Margaret Mulac, who as
representative of the co-sponsor initiated the
request for this booklet and in other ways made
possible its publication.

0NCE THE HOME OF A
Governor of Ohio, Frank Edward Cudell, the Crafts Center is
now the first recreation center in Cleveland devoted to arts and
crafts and one of the very few municipally operated arts and
crafts centers in the country. It is also the west side branch of
the Cleveland Garden Center. Its location on a large, wooded
lot at 10013 Detroit Avenue makes it convenient as a recrea¬
tion center for most west side residents and as a garden center
for all the garden clubs in western Cuyahoga County and
beyond.
Crafts Center is only one of many contributions to the
city made by Mr. Cudell, but it is one of the most valuable
because of its social, educational, and aesthetic aspects. Use
of the grounds as a garden center would have pleased the
donor, whose gardens were noted for their beauty and whose
home was a gathering place for west side music and art enthus¬
iasts.
When Mr. Cudell purchased this house from his father-in-
law 3 5 years ago, it was about 30 years old. Mr. Cudell took
pleasure in remodeling the house. An indication of his warm
and hospitable nature may still be seen in the three plaques
which he pressed into the sitting room ceiling. One printed in
English reads, "My house is my castle"; the other two in his
native tongue, German, may be freely translated as, "It is not
good for man to be alone," and "For wise men, time does not
pass."
Born at Herzogenrath, Germany, Mr. Cudell studied archi¬
tecture in Aix-la-Chapelle. He arrived in New York in the
spring of 1866. Several years later he came to Cleveland,
5
CUDELL BARN
and eventually opened an office of his own here in 1871,
Among the Cleveland buildings that he designed are the Perry
Payne Building, Beckman Building, Jewish Orphan Asylum,
Masonic Temple, and St. Joseph's Church. In 1903 he pre¬
sented to the city a plan for grouping the public buildings; later
he gave to Cleveland a strip of land bordering West Boulevard,
between Detroit Street and Madison Avenue, now popularly
called Cudell Park.
After Mr. Cudell's death in 1916, Mrs. Eugenia Cudell, a
niece, built the tower clock in Cudell Park in his memory and
according to his design. It was formally presented to the city
in 1917.

1NCE CRAFTS CENTER
opened in October 1939, about 200 persons each week have
attended the classes, which are held from 2 p. m. to 3 p. m.
and from 7 p. m. to 10 p, m. daily, except Saturdays and
Sundays. Saturday mornings are devoted to children s classes
in drawing, painting, woodcraft, soap carving, photography,
model airplane building, and ceramics.
This center was begun with very limited funds and with
apparently insurmountable problems. The present weekly at¬
tendance of 200 people is not an accidental growth. It has
been achieved through the continued efforts o f Mr. H. G.
Prusheck, Director of Crafts Center, and Miss Margaret Mulac,
Supervisor of Girls' and Women's Activities of the Division of
Recreation, who labored to acquaint west siders with the oppor¬
tunities and pleasures provided by the new center.
After regular attendance had been secured, there re¬
mained such problems as how to obtain tools, materials, equip¬
ment, and furniture, and how to do the necessary remodeling
on a slender budget.
A few woodcraft and linoleum tools and enough imple¬
ments to start a jewelry and metalcraft class were available
immediately. The center, though well-constructed, was old-
fashioned: lighting in many rooms had to be improved, and
living rooms converted into classrooms and lecture halls. To
ask for donations for a project so new and so experimental was
out of the question. It was logical that much of the aid should
come from those who were to be benefited by Crafts Center
activities. City regulations prohibited a charge for instruction,
but voluntary contributions could be accepted. Under the
7
plan finally evolved, every person who registered for a class
was told the needs of the center and asked to join the Crafts
and Arts Club. (Memberships are two dollars a year for
adults and twenty-five cents for children.) By this means
nearly $150 was raised during the first four months. Class
members, who must supply their own arts and crafts supplies,
find it convenient to be able to buy needed materials in the
building. Lumber, art supplies, silver and sets for jewelry,
and clay are now available for members at current prices.
With space limited, growing classes became the next prob¬
lem. Many of the crafts classes have been moved into the
barn, which was renovated for this purpose; the use of this
structure, now known as the Craft Shop, was created by the
demand for space in the house proper. This is not the first
time that the barn has served as a workshop. One of Mr.
Cudell's hobbies was printing, and his equipment was housed
in this building. Lie developed a hand-made lead type which
CUDELL DINING ROOM
he later patented. Where the former Governor once worked
patiently over his press, many craftsmen, both young and old.
will now develop photographs, convert strips of metal into
jewelry, model clay, and turn wood.
Through the cooperation of several WPA projects, plans
for replacing the furniture at little expense to the city are
achieving success. Three looms which will produce a variety
of materials in widths up to 36 inches have already been built
and installed by the Workshop Project in one of the upstairs
rooms. Re-upholstering of serviceable old furniture and con¬
structing of new furniture will begin soon. Rugs for the entire
building have been woven by another project; they cost the
center only the price of the warp, since the other materials are
salvaged from the waste products of the Sewing Project, which
makes clothing for relief clients. Art exhibits for the two exhi¬
bition rooms are furnished regularly by the Ohio Art Project.
In April 1940 the members of Crafts Center classes
held their first Annual Spring Show; they exhibited in these
rooms the best of each member's work produced since October
1939.
Still more important than the growth of Crafts Center, in
number of people attending classes and in improved facilities
and equipment, is the emergence of a warm spirit of friendli¬
ness and cooperation. Classes that began as groups of strangers
are now welded by mutual interest and frequent association
into units of friends. It is upon this spirit and upon these
groups that the future of the center depends. Crafts Center
is already a potent force in the community for wholesome,
constructive recreation under skilled and responsible supervi¬
sion. Through concentrated effort it may well realize the hopes
of its friends and become one of the best-equipped and most
valuable arts and crafts centers in the country.

HE CLEVELAND PUBLIC
Ubrary Eias established a library station on the second floor at
Crafts Center. The book collection numbers more than 1 00
craft, woodworking, sewing, weaving, basketry, gardening,
and photography. A children's collection of 30 books about
nature study, bird life, woodcraft, and soap carving has also
been supplied on a loan basis by the Stations Department of
the Cleveland library. A few magazines have been donated
to the center; and a magazine rack is being built to accom¬
modate a variety of current and past issues.
Crafts Center library is managed by Miss Edythe Prouty,
Supervisor of E.ibrary Stations. The children's work is directly
under the supervision of Mrs. Margaret Hagan of Stations
Department, who visits the library regularly and also arranges
the displays.
Small though it is, Crafts Center Library is one of the
most attractive and friendly rooms in the house. Conveniently
situated at the head of the front stairs, it is decorated in Gothic
woodwork, refinished in gleaming white enamel. Jade-green
tables, decorative lettering, excellent indirect lighting, gay
drapes, and shelves filled with books bound in many colors are
other details which attract the visitor.

^dctivitieS
Saturday morning
( lasses for children, held from 9 a. m. to I 2 noon, offer the fol¬
lowing subjects: drawing and painting, soap carving, woodcraft,
photography, and model plane building. In addition to these,
a nature study class meets from 4 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. every
Friday evening.
The model plane building group is one of the fastest-
growing classes at Crafts Center. The class is sponsored by
the Cleveland Press and taught by an instructor from the Ohio
Art Project. The Press sponsors these classes in all recreation
centers and in the Cleveland Boystowns. Crafts Center is, of
course, the newest addition to th(f roster of classes. The chil¬
dren participating furnish their own materials, since they take
more pride in the finished product under this plan. The Press
arranges contests, provides prizes, presents merit certificates
and awards, and wherever necessary furnishes tools. Both sta¬
tionary and flying models are produced by the class.
Serving a two-fold purpose, the nature study class is one
of the most valuable offered at Crafts Center. It exists to aid
the child in reproducing all phases of nature in some creative
medium such as drawing, and to develop in the child observa¬
tion of his own environment. This nature study class is designed
to stimulate curiosity by such concrete questions as these: What
is the plant seen in the child's own backyard? or, what bird
gave the call that awoke him that morning? Since there is little
or no attention to nature outside the environment of the child,
the class is immediate and concrete.
Mr. Harold E. Wallin, of the Department of Education in
the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, conducts this class,

which has now formed itself into a club called the Crafts-House
Explorers. (If the name selected by the group is a good cri¬
terion, one aim of the class has been realized.) Inspired by
curiosity, the children will learn the life habits of local animals
and birds. Their powers of observation will be strengthened
in looking for identifying marks and forms to be reproduced
in their drawings and paintings. Eventually they will know
the rocks beneath their feet. One layer and type of rock will
soon be distinguished from another through efforts to draw an
accurate picture or build a model of the formation. The im¬
portance to man of insect and bird life and the significance of
conserving natural resources are values to be realized by the
class members.
The Museum of Natural History has also agreed to assist
Crafts Center in the development of a wild life sanctuary on
the long lot behind the house. Dr. John W. Aldrich, museum
ornithologist, will advise the staff on the types of shrub to plant
in order to attract birds. The most efficient style of feeder and
bird house will also be suggested.

C RAFTS CENTER IS ALSO
the west side branch of the Garden Center of Greater Cleve¬
land. It is the first branch to be established by this organization.
The Cleveland Garden Center, on East Boulevard in the Fine
Arts Garden, has long been the heart of gardening activities in
the Cleveland area. It was established in 1930 by the Garden
Club of Cleveland, which had also created the Fine Arts
Garden. The Center, housed in a rehabilitated boathouse
north of Wade Park Lake lagoon, was formally opened Decem¬
ber 4, 1930.
The new center was financed temporarily by receipts from
a French street fair given in June 1930. The Garden Club of
Cleveland then took over the financial burden for a time. The
Center is now maintained by contributions of interested citizens,
by funds from the annual "white elephant" sales, and, to an
increasing extent, by membership dues.
Its program, TO PROMOTE SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND
LOVE OF GARDENING AS WILL RESULT IN A MORE
BEAUTIFUL C OMMUNITY, is furthered by an administra¬
tive staff of four people: a director, a publicity secretary, a
librarian, and an assistant in botany. The activities in this
program include lectures, exhibitions, flower shows, advice to
gardeners, maintenance of a library, and development of a
trial garden showing what can be raised under city conditions.
In addition, the Garden Center cooperates with the school
gardens program and sponsors measures for civic improve¬
ment, such as the extension of parks and the elimination of
19
THE GARDEN CENTER
unsightly areas. Radio broadcasts on gardening activities are
presented by various members and officers, and a monthly
bulletin is published.
More than 1,500 books on horticulture and allied subjects,
40 garden magazines, catalogs of both American and foreign
seed houses and nurseries, and a complete clipping file on hor¬
ticultural subjects are housed in a new wing. This library is
open to the public for reference use.
In 1933 an expansion of the Garden Center s services was
inaugurated, and other garden clubs were invited to join in
carrying on the work. There are now 32 garden clubs and 26
horticultural, civic, and allied groups cooperating with the
Center.
As interest in private gardening and city beautiftcation
grew, it became apparent that the Garden Center, on the
east side of Cleveland, could not adequately take care of the
surrounding suburbs, which spread for miles about the hub
area. The executive committee felt that branches should be
established, and on April 6, 1940 the first Garden Center
branch was opened. This is the West Side Garden Center situ¬
ated at Crafts Center.
The possibilities of a branch garden center in the old
Cudell home are great. Besides the spacious grounds, there is
a small conservatory already filled with plants. Here, on
Thursday afternoons and evenings, a trained horticulturalist
will give advice on house plants, lawn care, and garden prob¬
lems. Garden publications will be available for those who
prefer to visit and browse rather than study. A member from
one of the west side garden clubs will serve as hostess. The
library on the second floor, which contains many garden books,
will also be open at this time.

Flans are being made
for the various garden clubs west of the Cuyahoga River in or
near Cleveland to take part in the activities at the new West Side
Garden Center. These clubs will use Crafts Center as a central
coordinating place. Each club will have a small garden plot as
an experimental garden. Occasionally a meeting will be held,
presenting a speaker and topic of interest to all groups. Trips
may be planned through the more beautiful gardens in this part
of Ohio. Gardening classes may be expanded and new ones
formed. Shows will be held at the Center by the various clubs.
This pooling of interests and resources through a coordi¬
nating agency should be mutually beneficial and should further
the aims of the garden groups on the westerly side of Cleveland
and beyond. Children and adults visiting Crafts Center for the
arts and crafts classes may find an interest in gardening for the
first time when they see garden plots maintained by these
clubs on the grounds. Mrs. L. C. Boyle, Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the West Side Garden Club, is in charge
of these plans. The cooperating garden clubs are as follows:
