For Cleveland it's easily the loss of 200+ historic homes along Euclid Avenue. Some were lost due to construction of the Innerbelt (I-90) highway, others were demolished after their wealthy owners couldn't bear to see their homes subdivided into apartments - many had been demolished by the 1930s. At one point 60% of the world's millionaires had a home on Euclid Avenue. Of the 200+ homes, four are left. Here are some images:
On the north side of the street (on the left) were the large homes; the south side had smaller (but lavish) townhomes:
Of the mansions you see here, only the one to the right of the round turret still stands:
A not-recent photo of the existing mansion in question:
Another mansion that still stands:
The rest no longer exist:
