The title places this view at Cathedral Square in Cleveland, a name tied to the Catholic cathedral that anchored the surrounding blocks of the city's downtown. The caption card gives no date, so the exact year is unknown, but the print came to the Library of Congress as a gift from the Catholic Press Union, a link that fits the square's church associations. Researchers comparing it with other Cleveland views can use the buildings, street furniture, and clothing in the scene to narrow down when it was taken.
