The town's best-known landmark may be its cabin. Back when this was Fairview Village, Mayor David R. Bain dreamed of a community center. Workers from the Works Progress Administration built a log cabin in 1937. The WPA was a federal program that gave people jobs during the Depression. Then, on December 14, 1937, a fire burned the cabin down. The dedication was just four days away. The town didn't give up. With the community behind him, Mayor Bain went back to the WPA for money and workers. The new cabin went up in brick on the same foundation. Inside, WPA artists painted an 8 by 12 foot mural of Fairview's history through the 1930s. It opened on January 15, 1940. In 1957, four years after his death, the cabin was named for Mayor Bain. That's all from the Remarkable Ohio marker by the Ohio History Connection. The marker stands on West 210th Street, just south of North Park Drive.
Launches Were Run From a Brookpark Road Control Room
Fairview Park also shares a piece of space history. Part of the NASA campus at 21000 Brookpark Road sits inside the city. There, the Development Engineering Building went up starting in 1963. Its National Register nomination says Lewis engineers managed 119 unmanned launches from a Launch Control Room in that building during its first 35 years. Those launches included missions to other planets, lunar vehicles and satellites. Look for Brookpark Road near the bottom of the sheet.
