Mary's old property now;
The adress that USED to be 653 Euclid Ave,
is now a part of on the exact property now of 629 Euclid Ave.The holiday Inn Express on Euclid Ave, Cleveland, Ohio 2018
Mary'sMary's original home on Euclid Ave.... tore down after her death & after The Chisholms, steel tycoons of Cleveland, who lived there after The Monroe's sold it & had it razed for the new building
The Bank Building put on the same plot as Mary's home was..... was a bank for decades
The Bank Building is still here today , however in the 90's it was converted inside to a Holiday Inn Express. It is still a hotel today. hhhhhhnk Building was converted in the 90's to a Holiday Inn Express....
Walking in , this would have been the place where Mary walked in her home, this was her piece of the world where she lived. This would have been her front door , foyer, etc.....
This tiny , odd room is in the middle of the long , foyer type hallway where you first walk in....
This room has a couch 2 chairs & a table. It didn't seem to fit the decor of the rest of the foyer of the lobby here. As soon as you walk into this room, it is thick & heavy. It felt like spirits were there. I sat in one of the green chairs; I felt like someone else was sitting in the other one, so at that moment I asked if it was Mary Keokee with me there & snapped a pic included below. Sitting here I felt like I was not alone & felt more af a spirit than anywhere else.
This tiny diner is at the end of the long hallway / foyer just past the tiny haunted room with the furniture. This would have most likely been where Mary kitchen was..... I sat at the counter, I asked Mary to come sit with me. I ordered something for me, then I also ordered a chocolate milkshake & cookie. I put those 2 items in the seat beside me & asked Mary to join me. I told the people working there the story of Mary & her home, I asked them to leave the shake & cookie there at the seat after I left for as long as they could. Pretty sure they thought I was crazy, however...... I bet Mary was there & knew I did this for her. I felt her in this space. that used to be her home where she lived her life more than a century ago... mostly in the green chair I felt her.
Walking out.......Goodbye, Mary !
It was fun walking where you walked & lived...... I felt your presence in the green room with the chairs... thank u for that !
