Cleveland City Council is considering an emergency ordinance to update the official landmark designation for the St. Mary of the Assumption Church, School, Gymnasium, and Rectory in Collinwood. File number 1164-2026 seeks to amend previous legislation from 2008 to ensure the landmark's legal description accurately reflects the properties intended for protection.

What's in the file

This emergency ordinance proposes an amendment to Section 1 of Ordinance No. 1148-08, which originally designated the St. Mary of the Assumption (also known as St. Mary’s Collinwood) complex as a Cleveland Landmark.

As a designated landmark, these structures are recognized by the City of Cleveland for their historical or architectural significance St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Rectory and School | City of Cleveland Ohio.
