From the June 4th Cleveland Plains Dealer. "Soldiers and Sailors Monument hosts grand reopening after $2 million restoration" by Brian Albrecht.
The 116-year-old Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Cleveland now has a much brighter interior with its new lighting system and other improvements both inside and outside after a two year, $2 million restoration. In addition, you can now see the battle flags of the 7th and 8th Ohio infantry regiments and the 10th Ohio Cavalry. The stained glass has been restored as well.
It was built in 1894 and stands 125 feet high in Public square honoring the 9,000 Cayahoga residents who served
Ceremonies took place June 4th and today when Governor Ted Strickland gives the keynote address.
