Photo taken of the square after the ice storm of February 17, 1909. A reminder that winter is not over! The tall flagpole was the last of four successive poles on that site. An earlier one was a mast of the Milan-built schooner, Idaho

The design of the Newton Arts Building portico was based upon the Jonathan Goldsmith front doorway of the Isaac Gillet House which is now part of the collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art (see first photo).
Jonathan Goldsmith (1783-1847), was a master builder active in the Western Reserve between 1819-43. He was born in Milford, Conn., the son of Jonathan Gillett and Anna (Beers) Goldsmith. After a brief apprenticeship as a shoemaker, he apprenticed himself to a carpenter-joiner at age 17. He worked in Hebron, Conn., and Berkshire County, Mass., before moving to Ohio in 1811. Goldsmith's known buildings include 30 homes and commercial buildings in Painesville, another handful around Lake County, and 10 houses in Cleveland. All were executed in the current late Federal and early Greek Revival styles. His drawings were included in the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition "The Greek Revival in the United States" in 1943.
