Did You Know?

When Cleveland’s black population boomed in the 1920s, most of the newcomers settled in the Central neighborhood.

Description

This space, at the eastern end of Cleveland’s Central neighborhood, has been home to several churches in the 2000s. Storefront Christian churches in northern cities such as Cleveland, initially a product of the Great Migration, continue to play an important role not just in black but also in Hispanic and Asian communities.
A horizontally oriented photograph depicts a weathered building facade. On the left, a security gate covers windows lined with blue mosaic film. Above, a worn pink sign reads "TRUE VINE WORD CHURCH 7114 CENTRAL" beneath a white cross. To the right, a tan brick wall features a "NO TRESPASSING" sign. Through diamond-patterned metal, a pink interior glows under purple light, revealing a small table and chair tucked behind the bars.
