Vintage Photos of Life in Westlake Through the 20th Century

Westlake is one of the many wonderful suburbs of Northeast Ohio. We went into the archives to see what it looked like back in the day, before it was the upscale suburban community that it is today. These photos are from the 1930s though the 1970s.

All photos via the Cleveland Memory Project.
