Architecture
Architecture in the Western Reserve mimicked that of the New England towns from which its settlers originally came. Many of the buildings were designed in the Georgian, Federal and Greek Revival styles. Towns such as Aurora, Canfield, Chagrin Falls, Gates Mills, Hudson, Medina, Milan, Norwalk, Painesville, and Poland exemplify the mixture of these styles and traditional New England town planning. Cleveland's Public Square is even characteristic of a traditional New England town green.
