St. Michael Church at 3114 Scranton Road on Cleveland's west side was established in 1881, with the present church building dedicated on November 20, 1892.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is the remaining part of the St. Michael statute that was once on the pedestal above the front entrance, between the spires. It fell onto the front steps in the mid-late 1960's.
The church building dominates the neighborhood, this is from a couple blocks away at West 25th Street & Prame Avenue.
The School building at 3146 Scranton Road was constructed in 1906-07, and has been closed for years. The lower level had a cafeteria, and the first two floors housed the grade school. St. Michael's High School, later one of the Cleveland Central Catholic campuses, occupied the third floor. I'm not sure what the top floor was used for. The school building is currently for sale.
From the Plain Dealer, November 21, 1892.
