Let's Sketch the Hermit Club

1550 Chester Ave

Cleveland, Ohio 44114 

Sunday March 30th, 2025 1:30pm - 4pm

One of Cleveland's best kept secrets, the Hermit Club is now part of the Hofbrau Haus. There's the potential for nice weather, and if so, we can sketch the Greyhound Bus Station across the street on Chester Ave. It's a streamline art deco gem. These buildings are all a part of the renaissance of the Playhouse Square neighborhood. There should be ample street parking which is free on weekends. There may be a matinee of some type going on at the theaters which might complicate parking. We'll see.

Allen Memorial Medical Library

11000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44106
SATURDAY February 22nd, 2025 12:30pm - 4pm (museum closes at 4).

This should be fun. It's been on our 'go to' list for years. At the corner of Adelbert and Euclid Ave in University Circle. A great old beaux-arts building with a medical library and museum. A win win!! Note the SATURDAY date and the early start time (museum closes at 4). Hope to see everyone there!

Let’s Sketch the “Haunted” Franklin Castle
