Rockefeller

What do dogs see, especially from down where they are? Bella looked up at the Rockefeller Building, which never was occupied by John D. Rockefeller, having been erected several years after he headed off to New York City. Here's what she saw.

When Rockefeller was in Cleveland, standing on the site of the building named in his honor was the Weddell House, the luxury hotel in Cleveland. On the way to his inauguration in 1861, Abe Lincoln stayed at the Weddell House, making a stirring speech to an enthusiastic crowd, about a week before he snuck into the nation's capital, having been informed of a conspiracy to kill him while on the last leg of his journey.
