Finally!! Someone in this community did my city!! I’m pumped!! The art museum has always blown my mind, and the old pictures of the Wagon Works and the Overland Factories
Toledo has a lot of great features. There are parks that preserve the 9th Black Swamp. The most famous day in Bird Watching is in early May and people from around the world come for the great variety of birds to see at places like MacGee Marsh and Maumee Bay State Park. When I was 6 years old my dad worked in the Spitzer Building and on Saturday I ran around playing all over. The Zoo is world quality as is the Art Museum.
Where you said it is a multiple discipline church, that's the University of Toledo. I encourage you to look at a photo of the building today. That building is still standing and is beautiful as can be! My daughter just graduated from there this year!
Street cars Ran all over the state and beyond when my grandpa was in his twenties…Toledo to Cinci to Cleveland, Columbus etc…and I think even to Chicago(I could be wrong) . My grandpa told me about riding them. It went right down his street. He rode it everyday. Door St Toledo Ohio.
The old west end off Collingwood had/has so many beautiful homes that many auto supplier magnates lived now there are few left or they turned many into apartments but most are dilapidated unfortunately as people moved to the suburbs. The Libbey Home one of the few that's maintained it's beauty. Unlike most countries we didn't do a very good job at saving our historical areas in my opinion. But I guess most people rather build new then upkeep old. I see this in most Midwestern cities that already saw their best days.
At 8:39, that's University Hall at The University of Toledo, not a multiple discipline church. It used to be home to the English, Foreign Languages, and Mathematics departments, which have all moved to different buildings on campus.
I go by a lot of these buildings still in existence in downtown Toledo. The pictures of Scott High School, remind me that Scott and Waite High Schools have the exact same design, only Waite was built backwards. Because that happened, the architect ended up committing suicide.
Toledo a great small city they have put a lot of investment here the last couple decades. The 80s and 90s downtown was dead now it has had a Renaissance so to speak. It has its rough areas but it's affordable and has many jobs available in manufacturing and technical sectors that pay well for the area. My grandmother and her many siblings moved here for work at the oil refineries on the east side. They made good lives for them and their many kids and numerous grandchildren. I hate seeing them take down old buildings for new drab ones especially the many great old schools that are all over the Midwestern cities. Appreciate the historical videos 🍻
Buildings were fortifications in the earlier days. War of 1812 and threat from canada, and even michigan birthed the defensive style fortifications you see. Major port town, and protected territory! We have military bases and naval presence within the area in our coastguard base.
The structure at 9:02 is the University of Toledo’s University Hall - the first building built on the Bancroft Campus. It took 900 workers 11 months to construct the building. It was built in the Collegiate Gothic style and completed in 1931. It is one of the most recognizable buildings in the city and a source of pride for Toledo. University Hall houses the College of Arts and Letters, the Office of the President, the Public Information Office, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the College of Graduate Studies, the Bell Tower, Doermann Theatre and many classrooms.
So I’m from Toledo. And knew my great grandfather. All of this happened in his life time and he remembered and told the family when I was a kid out at his place….the really tall tower he thought was a universalist church…was the University of Toledo. It was built during FDR, I believe …so was the zoo…and the football U of T football stadium, which looks like a castle. My great grandfather remember when the fell, the forest and dug the ditches….really deep ditches…best farm land in the world, swamp clay…my Great Uncle was a farmer…Move here in 1840….. Gramma Willie, talked of miles long fell trees, would burn and smoke for a 6 months to a year. I get donuts and apple from my great uncle tress to this day. Sorry …no time warp
great uncle moved to Toledo in 1840? That must make you at least a century old...I appreciate you watching. Check out more about the old world, there are many anomalies.
The two or three buildinings identified plus the others were constructed by immigrants to name a few who brought the different archetectural features of Toledo's buildings from Russia, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Arab, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine settled in an Old North End neighborhood called “ Little Syria.” the Walbash and Erie canal system that brought people west through Ohio.
Libbey also supposedly donated in his will a massive sum for the Toledo Museum of Art which would focus on works of art associated with glass.. we used to blow glass in the back of the museum in HS, and a few years ago they built one of the world’s premier glass blowing studios, but check out pictures of the Toledo Museum of Art, even today it feels like a Roman Temple or something with massive columns and real old world feel to it.. not to mention the interior is straight out of a fairy tale, even today, and it has an extensive basement system underground.. thanks for spotlighting my hometown!
Building such glorious buildings in a former swamp sounds crazy to me. Definitely the remains of an old world city... some of those buildings are just too magnificent. Nice job bud. Cheers!
@@lurking0deathI have an antique book from the early 1800s about the history of Toledo area and it does confirm it was swamp land. Toledo is my hometown
Lived here 40 years, helped rebuild fort industry Square found so many cool relics including a petrified deer antler.. the great black swamp was larger than the florida everglades!
You missed a couple buildings. On Jefferson ave. Huge granite building g with 3 fasces in each side and some other Romanesque symbolism. As well as the building across the street from it. The 3 fasces building symbology represents judicial or law.
The old State Hospital was a mental institution. It was thought that ornate buildings and park-like grounds would aid in patients' therapy. Also some of the doctors lived those houses. I went to school with one of the main doctor's daughter. Willys-Overland invented the Jeep during WW2. Also, it's pronounced SEE-core, not sah-CORE.
Great video, but I can tell you from construction that most of these dates are correct just from the materials used. I live in toledo and I wish more existed from mid 1800s but most everything is turn of the century. The smaller neighboring towns like Maumee have older buildings, mostly residences. Actually what you said at 14:10 is exactly right, lots of immigrants made toledo and there are countless quarries in the area, Kelly's Island for example. I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist myself but I don't understand your angle here lol.
There is a story about the naming of Toledo-it was not happenstance - re: Washington Irving traveling through Spain and his brother who lived in Oregon, Ohio. Also, between being called Frog-Town and The Glass City, Toledo was had been world-famous for growing "Clover Seeds", and became heavily involved in the transportation of grain so earning the moniker "The Corn City."
Wiki excerpt on one of many canals in Ohio: (855 miles of canals in Ohio alone - one with a 2700' tunnel! Nearly all commenced circa 1825 } The Miami and Erie Canal was a 274-mile (441 km) canal that ran from Cincinnati to Toledo, Ohio, creating a water route between the Ohio River and Lake Erie.[1] Construction on the canal began in 1825 and was completed in 1845 at a cost to the state government of $8,062,680.07. At its peak, it included 19 aqueducts, three guard locks, 103 canal locks, multiple feeder canals, and a few man-made water reservoirs. The canal climbed 395 feet (120 m) above Lake Erie and 513 feet (156 m) above the Ohio River to reach a topographical peak called the Loramie Summit, which extended 19 miles (31 km) between New Bremen, Ohio to lock 1-S in Lockington, north of Piqua, Ohio. Boats up to 80 feet long were towed along the canal by mules, horses, or oxen walking on a prepared towpath along the bank, at a rate of four to five miles per hour.
Not sure if anyone's ever really read the Bible I never really paid attention to what the words were telling us but I find it neat that we as people have the inkling that we inherited this because we certainly did according to scripture here's one in particular verse that stood out to me Leviticus 20:24 “But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.”
I was just thinking that a new OWN video should be coming out and here it is, YAY!! I’ve got a question for you: Have you heard about the cabbage patch kids? I’m not talking about the doll craziness from the late 1980 but with actual kids. They would ship orphans to city’s all over the US so the children could work in the large factories. I’m thinking that this could explain why schools were so large back then.
Hi Cathy, yes I've heard of this. Mind Unveiled did a couple videos on the subject. I find it very interesting since it seems to fill a gap in the population narrative. It would be easy just to tell a bunch of orphans not from the area that the infrastructure was built more recently than it was, and to report anyone claiming otherwise as fit for the asylum. Too many of us see it as too much of a stretch for such a deception to have taken shape but it would be much easier than we think. These North American cities show signs of age and majesty that doesn't fit the narrative. From that I deduce there is a deception...and from that one can only imagine how deep the deception goes..
The rendering of the cathedral showing it with a tower is just that, a rendering. The tower was in the original plans for the cathedral, however that tower was never built. The architectural style is called Spanish Plateresque, owing to the Sister Cities designation between Toledo, Ohio and Toledo, Spain. And yes, most of Northwest Ohio was once referred to as The Great Black Swamp. The entire area was drained by a network of ditches mostly draining into the Maumee, Portage, and Sandusky Rivers in the 1800's. Without these ditches the area would return to being swampland even today. The Northwest Ohio area has some of the most fertile farmland in the country due to its past as swampland. Some of the large older buildings in downtown Toledo are supported by large oak timbers that were driven into the ground as pilings where they remain today doing what they were intended to do.
Why you think it’s a different world is because, it changed away from what made it and us great. We used to care the light fixture looked amazing…now disposable and soulless….but we took God out so we shouldn’t be surprise at the soullesness of modernism. Art, Music, Dance, Architecture etc…then vs now…and why? Why isn’t Toledo the Glass Capital still? It could be but now it’s just brawn fields.
Toledo or that territory was occupied by many different Kingdoms like France, Spain, and Great Britain prior to the treaty of Paris 1783 which gave the United States and smthe several states the ability to operate via commerce. You cant make money when everything the people need is already there. So, tbey had to destroy what they could and kept what was needed to move forward with the new occupiers. This isnt a conspiracy this is facts that can be verified.
This is really great!! The swamp story doesn't add up. There's also stories from Native Americans that the Great Lakes were not always there. They were created after the great earthquakes in the 1890's caused the Mississippi River to run backwards. The earthquakes were caused by the "Tecumseh Comet". Which is a whole other aspect to the timeline.
I touched on the Tecumseh comet, or Napoleans comet, in my HG Wells video. Distorting the timeline to be sure. So much of it doesn't pass the smell test.
It most certainly was a swamp. The entire area is full of ditches crisscrossing NW Ohio to drain the swamp. We had one along our frontage when I lived out beyond the suburbs. It was an area very difficult to cross and westward expansion encouraged draining to build transportation routes going through and westward.
Dude, toledo WAS built on a former swamp...i have an antique book from the early 1800s that details the history of this area...toledo is my hometown. You should have researched our history more . that state hospital my father lived in until they tore it down...he was there decades...had schizophrenia...they then moved him to a group home in bowling green, ohio on the campus of BGSU where students studied him and other patients. He died of lung cancer in 2004.
Dude some of these pop up cities legit cpuld have been encampments.. who knows? Im falling out of love with the term "tartary".. if we are to assume they were at higher heights than us today..then we can resunably thi k theyd want us to out do them. Not become re-tarted 😂😂😂
Morons. Toledo is famous for flooding. The land has always been horrible. The sewer and pipe system is ancient. It’s never been replaced. The fact that they put pipes into what used to be a swamp just makes it a thousand times worse. It’s like living on cursed land.
It was on the Great Lakes and a route used for 19th century westward expansion. Draining the swamp and building roads was important to aiding in those travels. Toledo was and remains an important transportation center. Port of Toledo, huge rail yards, I-75/80/90 etc.
Yo legit .. if you found an amish builder whos willing to be on camera or the internet lol they could talk about buildings from a new angke ive never personally heard. Just an idea. Good job.
Is this some kind of inside joke? I watched the video and read the comments and I still don't know what point you are trying to make. Can anyone explain?
I think he's trying to say that Toledo wasn't built on a swamp...but it WAS...they drained it. I have a antique book from the early 1800s talking about the history of Toledo ...it was definitely a swamp
Our history as we’ve been told was all lies, the buildings we see from that time were there loooong before Toledo was “discovered “ the humans from centuries and centuries ago built huge beautiful buildings that could last forever and were all sadly taken down after humanity had a “reset “
Nine minute mark...the University of Toledo on Bancroft. It is still very much there and thriving you incredible dolt. "Narative"...got your own set of silly buzz words and you don't even know the "Carpathian Castle" downtown? I am embarrsassed for you.
The reason that building says ," fireproof" is because it was specifically advertised as being the first fireproof building between new York and Chicago. Do a little research before you make videos.
You have to read this amazing article about those earthquakes and the comet. Who really knows if it even happened. And the dates could be any time in history. But these stories say that huge buildings were forced up out of the ground. And entire towns were sunken. Trees were sucked into the skies along with people, and trees were sucked under the ground along with people. They said that reality actually changed and shifted many times over several months. And the land was covered in gas, that made some people laugh hysterically but killed others. "The constant trembling of the ground for weeks at a time (“like the flesh of a beef just killed”) seemed to affect balance and perception of reality. Brooks reported in early March that sound … seems … to have lost its rotundity, and matter its sonorous properties… the peal of the bell, the beat of the drum, the crowing of the cock, the human call, although near at hand seem to be at a distance, and the different reports seem to steal, in a manner silently, separately, and distinctly upon the ear, not breaking upon or being lost or confused in each other. … " www.americanheritage.com/i-will-stamp-ground-my-foot-and-shake-down-every-house#1
