Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Headquarters of the Union Miles Development Corporation at the west end of the Miles Park Historic District, located on Miles Park Avenue between E. 91st and E. 93rd Streets in the Union-Miles Park neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

This area was the heart of what later became the Village of Newburgh. Newburgh Township was officially organized in 1814, and the village in 1874.

The land which forms the park was donated by Thomas Miles, the son of one of the most prominent settlers of the area. In 1828, a "town hall" was erected at what is now 9213 Miles Park Avenue, where it served as a church, school, and township meeting hall. This structure was enlarged in 1872. The following year, when the village was annexed by the city of Cleveland, the town hall was turned into a branch of the Cleveland Public Library. The public square was named Miles Park in honor of its donor, Theodore Miles, in 1877. The town hall was demolished in 1906, and a new library building erected on the site from 1906 to 1907.

The Cleveland Public Library vacated this building in 1982, although it remained open for community use until 1987. It was closed, but rehabilitated in 2000 and turned over to the Union-Miles Neighborhood Development Corporation for use as its headquarters.

This historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 1974.
