By 1922, the Ambler Realty Company of Cleveland owned this site
along with 68 acres of land between Euclid Avenue and the Nickel
Plate rail line. Upon learning of the company's plans for industrial
development, the Euclid Village Council enacted a zoning code based
on New York City's building restrictions. Represented by Newton D.
Baker, former Cleveland mayor and U.S. Secretary of War under
Woodrow Wilson, Ambler sued the village claiming a loss of property
value. In 1926, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Euclid
and upheld the constitutionality of zoning and land-use regulations
by local governments. The federal government eventually acquired
the Ambler site during World War II to build a factory to make
aircraft engines and landing gear. From 1948 to 1992, the site
was used as a production facility by the Fisher Body Division
of General Motors.
