Two Steeples Illuminated
new beacons of hope in Cleveland
Exterior lighting projects at two Cleveland
churches, St. Michael the Archangel Catholic
Church, 3114 Scranton Road, and Trinity
Episcopal Cathedral, 2021 East 22nd Street at
Euclid Avenue, were completed in December
through the Cleveland Restoration Society's
Sacred Landmarks
Assistance Program. St.
Michael's (pictured left) was designed by Adolph
Druiding and
dedicated in 1892. Rising to 232 feet, the
main spire of St. Michael's is an orientation
point visible for miles. CRS awarded a grant
of $32,000 to the church to pay for repairs
and lighting. Trinity Episcopal Cathedral,
designed by Charles Schweinfurth and
consecrated in 1907, was illuminated several
years ago but many of the fixtures had begun
to fail. CRS awarded Trinity a grant of
$17,750 to pay for a new lighting design and
minor but necessary repairs.
