Giving Tuesday calls us back to Cleveland’s most philanthropic historical figures—from Euclid Avenue. 💰 Indeed, the likes of Rockefeller are painted with disdain as Gilded Age robber barons, but these complicated people were as shrewd as they were charitable. Their donations reflect the era: healthcare, recreation and fine arts. As a result, Clevelanders inherit sprawling parks, an orchestra with world renown, extraordinary historical art collections and more. ⛲ 🎻 🖼️ Cleveland historian and author Dan Ruminski relays three incredibly charitable families from Millionaires’ Row and seeks to dispel popular Cleveland myths about these figures. 👨‍💻Visit the link in our bio to learn about Euclid Avenue as it once was. 🖊️becky_boban 📸Courtesy Taber Andrew Bain via Flickr; Courtesy Tim Evanson via Flickr #clevelandcharity #mostcharitablecity #charitablecitiesinamerica #themostcharitablecitiesinamerica #millionairesrow #clevelandhistory #ohiohistory #severancehall #clevelando...
