100 Years in 100 Days: The University School

100 photos that define Shaker Heights.

Shaker Heights Patch is celebrating the 100 years of Shaker Heights history by creating an online scrapbook. Each day for 100 days, we'll feature a photograph that helps tell the story of Shaker Heights.

Today's postcard is of the University School, which moved to Shaker in 1926. The private school for boys was established in 1890. It occupied a building on Hough Avenue until its campus was constructed in Shaker. The University School was one of three private or country day schools courted by the Van Sweringens.
