Architecture News - Nov 06, 2009 - 21:50 6025 views
An abandoned decaying two stories building at 14748 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, Ohio, in the former area of “Millionaires Row”, is now the Wall of Sorrows, a memorial to young victims of violence. The original design was, obviously, embodied in the materiality of the building; now it is not a famous memorial, an architect’s design, it is a wall with handmade painted plywood signs, drawings, stuffed animals to remember those lost to urban violence. On one side of this wall, there is an announcement “Home of the Memorial Wall of Sorrows”.
