Mayor Perk's Home

Ralph Perk's house

This is where Ralph Perk lived as Mayor of Cleveland and afterwards.  The house is located in the Slavic Village  neighborhood.  A freeway leading to downtown Cleveland is across the street and steel mills are visible from his house. He was mayor from 1972 to 1977. When he was elected, he was viewed as the common man.

Does the photo above with the postal truck look brighter? It should. I took it as the sun was beginning to go down. The lady driving the postal truck was a young, attractive lady.  She declined to be photographed.

After three two-year terms as mayor he lost his bid for re-election in the primary campaign to future mayor Dennis Kucinich  and unknown state representative named Ed Feighan.

When did the former homes of Cleveland's former mayor's become sights to see? They probably are not because it seems I am the only one interested in them. I even send photos of them to friends and relatives. No one responds. When I send photos of  other places, such as the Detroit-Superior Bridge, Severance Hall, or The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, people respond.
