It's always amused me a little how the older apartment buildings in
Cleveland Heights have names.  I used to live in "The Wilson" building,
and most of the other buildings in the Cedar/Fairmont area have names
as well.  They aren't remarkable buildings -- just your standard multi-unit
dwelling from the 20's or 30's.

I've always wondered whether "The Wilson" was named after the president
or someone else.  It's more likely the first owner was named Wilson.
