Warehouse District History
The blocks comprising the Warehouse District were
originally part of the community of Port Lawrence,
which was platted in 1817 at the intersection of Swan
Creek and the Maumee
River. This site had
once been a military
post named Fort
Industry. By 1823, Port
Lawrence consisted of
two log warehouses
and a few houses at the
intersection of Monroe
and Summit Streets.
Commercial activity grew rapidly
between 1843 and 1853 along
Monroe and Summit Streets,
primarily due to canal traffic.
The Wabash-Erie Canal passed
through today’s Warehouse District
intersection of Monroe and Erie
Streets.
Several buildings from the late
1800s still embellish the Warehouse
District. The Grand
Hotel, at the corner
of St. Clair and
Washington Streets,
was built around
1872. The Dixon
Hotel, now St.
Clair Village, was
constructed in 1865,
is of Italianate architecture, and housed a hotel and
saloon until prohibition. The Berdan Warehouse was a
wholesale grocery company named after the proprietor
and Toledo’s first mayor, John Berdan.
In 2000, Lucas County Commissioners funded
construction of a Triple A ballpark, home of the Toledo
Mud Hens. Since that time, over 25
previously vacant or under-utilized
buildings have been renovated or
re-occupied. In 2012, the Warehouse
District enjoys a resurgence of energy,
activity, and community…truly a
unique place to live, work and play.
