The city of Ravenna, OH shares a common characteristic with several cities

throughout the United States; it is in desperate need of revitalization. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the city’s downtown prospered and became a center for industry in northeast Ohio. However, during the mid to late 20th century, industry began moving out of the city and today Ravenna is a shadow of its former self. Several once vibrant storefronts along Main and Chestnut Street now sit vacant and the downtown area lacks the type of businesses which once allowed it to flourish. Because of this, several blocks and structures in the area have been neglected and appear unkempt.

In an effort to revitalize the city, a small group of locals got together in 2016 with the

idea of forming an arts district along Chestnut Street near the city’s center. It was their hope that the successful formation of an arts district would spark a city-wide revitalization effort.

The locals drew inspiration from an arts district in nearby Barberton, OH which over the past few years has been developed to boost the city’s economy. The Barberton Arts District project began with the update of a historic movie theater in the city’s downtown. Since reopening its doors in 2014, the theater has become a major source of revenue for the city. Intrigued by the theater’s success, the city of Ravenna partnered with the development company responsible for reopening its doors in order to create a similar theater in Ravenna’s newly established “Chestnut Grove Arts District.”

Currently, the Chestnut Grove Arts District is in a very early stage of development. At

this time, the theater is one of only a few projects planned for the arts district. To aid Ravenna with their revitalization effort the 2017 class of Kent State University’s interior design program has partnered with the city and formed ideas for the Chestnut Grove Art District’s future. The project contained in this booklet provides planning recommendations for the district and a vision for what it could eventually become.

CIT Y HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

The Connecticut Western Reserve was a portion of modern day Ohio that was owned by the colony and

later state of Connecticut during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1798, a Massachusetts man by the name of Benjamin Tappan purchased 13,000 acres of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The land which Tappan purchased was described as being the southern two-thirds of township 3, range 8 of the reserve. In 1799, Tappan sent his son, Benjamin Tappan Jr., to establish settlements in the land he had purchased.

On June 3, 1799 Benjamin Tappan Jr. arrived to the area we know today as the township of Ravenna. In

January 0f 1800, Tappan met a man by the name of Benjamin Bigsby. Tappan offered Bigsby 100 acres of land in exchange for his help in building an 18’ x 20’ cabin. With Bigsby’s help, Tappan successfully completed the construction of his cabin which became the first residence in the Ravenna Township.

After establishing his residence, Tappan got to work organizing his township. Tappan met with other

township owners in the area who assisted him in determining the location of a new town he planned to establish. Once the location of the town was determined, Tappan was faced with the dilemma of coming up with a name for the town. The other township owners at the meeting suggested Tappan use his last name for the name of the town. Tappan however did not like this idea and instead decided on the name Ravenna which means “roots and flowers.” Ravenna was also the name of a city in Italy. Tappan had never been to Italy, but he chose the name Ravenna simply because he liked the word.

SELECTED BUILDING HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

In 1910, a fire burned down the Empire building located on the corner of Main St. and Chestnut St. in

downtown Ravenna OH. After the fire, the Riddle family purchased the plot of land where the building sat in order to build a new commercial building in its place. One year after the fire, construction of the 9th Riddle Block building was complete.

Each of the 11 Riddle Block buildings were designed with a similar program. Typically, the ground level

of the buildings housed businesses, the second level housed offices, and the upper floors were residential.

Riddle Block 9 was no exception this trend and throughout its life it has been the home of several businesses

1

and residents. Although the original businesses it housed are unknown, the building is best known for housing a Woolworth’s grocery store during the mid 20th century. Throughout the years, many businesses such as grocery stores, furniture stores, and pharmacies have come and gone. Today, Riddle Block 9 is home to the Ravenna branch of Catholic Charities as well as several older residents who live its 3rd and 4th floor apartments.

ART DISTRICTS Definition

An arts district is a demarcated urban area typically located near the

center of a city which facilitates a large variety of art related functions. Typically, arts districts house a variety of facilities related to arts and entertainment such as art galleries, restaurants, theaters, and music venues. They may also feature green spaces and public squares for performances and festivals.

Goals and Objectives

The city of Ravenna is looking to develop the Chestnut Grove Arts

District into a place that will attract a younger demographic to the city. By doing so, the city hopes to gain an economic boost in order to revitalize other areas and make Ravenna a desirable place to visit and live. The primary target audience for the city is college students. With several colleges in the surrounding area, Ravenna has the potential to become a hub for college students who are searching for housing.

Implementation

Over the last few decades, art districts have become popular

development projects in cities all over the world. Many of the cities that have developed these districts have a very similar history to Ravenna and to one another. In most cases, these cities have experienced a loss of industry and an economic downturn. To recover, many cities have created arts districts to attract businesses and residents back into them.

Since it ’s establishment, the cit y of Paducah, KY has boasted a r ich histor y. Today, the cit y

Although it is a relatively small cit y with roughly 25,000 residents, Paducah is home to unique attrac tions which annually attrac t hundreds of tour ists from around the countr y. These attrac tions include the largest quilt museum in the wor ld, annual ar ts festivals, and the Lower Town Ar t ’s distr ic t.

I n the ear ly 1800s, Paducah was established at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee

R ivers in Wester n Kentuck y. Paducah’s unique location along these r ivers allowed it to thr ive as a hub for trade and commerce. Af ter the construc tion of an interstate and large shopping centers on the outsk ir ts of town in the mid 20th centur y, the cit y ’s once bustling downtown became desolate and dilapidated. Unable to compete with large cor porate chains, local businesses in the downtown area cleared out leaving the once vibrant storefronts they occupied lifeless and vacant. Following a surge in drugs and cr ime dur ing the 1980’s, several of the cit y ’s locals got together to develop a plan for revitalizing the cit y ’s downtown.

D ur ing the ear ly 1990’s, the cit y of Allentown, PA exper ienced a decline of its retail and

office sec tors. S oon af ter businesses began leaving the downtown area, cit y leaders stepped in and took ac tion to prevent an economic downtur n. As a result, Allentown commissioned the D owntown D evelopment Plan in the late 1990’s to outline ideas and strategies for improving the downtown area’s economy.

D ur ing this time, Allentown was already an area that contained several ar ts related

institutions. B ecause of this, a key recommendation by the D owntown D evelopment Plan was to embrace ar ts-based initiatives to boost the cit y ’s economy. Allentown’s cit y leaders accepted this recommendation and par tnered with several local organizations to develop a physically and func tionally cohesive ar ts and enter tainment distr ic t.

The cit y began the development projec t with 3 pr imar y initiatives. The first initiative was to

complete an “Ar ts Walk ” which is a walk way located in the Hamilton distr ic t of the cit y ’s downtown that winds past var ious businesses and galler ies. The nex t initiative was to design an “Ar ts Par k ” which is a par k located within the ar ts distr ic t that ser ves as a venue for var ious per for mers and festivals. Lastly, the cit y planned to develop a new ar ts center within the distr ic t as well.

I n the years since the for mation of Allentown’s Ar ts and Enter tainment Distr ic t began,

the cit y has completed several projec ts and is continuously growing and developing the distr ic t.

The for mation of the Ar ts and Enter tainment Distr ic t has also ser ved as a catalyst for a cit y-wide revitalization effor t.

From 1925-1960, downtown Phoenix, AZ was a major cultural and enter tainment hub. The

cit y ’s downtown drew in large crowds of tour ists due to its shopping destinations, theaters, and war m climate. The cit y was also a frequent vacation spot for Holly wood celebr ities.

One frequent tour ist destination within the cit y was the R oosevelt neighbor hood which was

a lavish area home to many of the cit y ’s elites. To ser ve a large influx of visitors and tour ists to the neighbor hood dur ing the winter, the cit y invested in the G old Spot M ar keting Center which was one of Phoenix ’s first large shopping centers. This new shopping center was a huge success and had a major impac t on the rest of the cit y ’s commercial development.

The R oosevelt neighbor hood was a great source of revenue for Phoenix until its decline in

the ear ly 1960’s. This decline came as a result of the Wilbur Smith & Associates freeway plan. The plan called for the construc tion of a 100-foot high freeway across the R oosevelt neighbor hood.

The plan for this new freeway caused several residents and businesses to leave the neighbor hood which lef t the downtown lifeless. The freeway was completed in 1973 at the cost of some 3,000 histor ic houses which were demolished to make room for it.

D ur ing the late 80s and ear ly 90s, several ar tists saw an oppor tunit y to revitalize the

cit y through ar t wor k . These ar tists created ar t studios in abandoned buildings within the neighbor hood and began planting the seeds for the future R oosevelt R ow Ar t Distr ic t. I n 1994, the distr ic t had its ver y first ar t walk . This event mar ked the beginning of a cit y-wide ur ban revitalization effor t.

ZONING

Downtown Ravenna is divided into 5 separate zones. There are industrial zones,

residential zones, commercial zones, and the central business district. The industrial zones are areas where industry once thrived, but currently are largely desolate areas.

These zones sit at the northwest and southwest corners of the city’s center. The city’s downtown is also made up of several residential zones which surround the central business district on all sides. Residences closer to the center of the city in residential district 1 tend to be in worse condition than those within residential district 2. In addition to the residential districts, there are light commercial districts which also surround the central business district on all sides. These districts primarily contain several small businesses. At the heart of the city lies the central business district. This district contains several historic structures which were once filled with businesses.

While several businesses still operate in this district, many of its storefronts sit vacant.

Additionally, the proposed arts district lies entirely within this zone.

Currently, there are parking areas scattered all throughout the downtown area.

Although there are several parking areas, many of these lots are private and are not accessible to the public. Because of this, it is difficult for visitors to the downtown to find a convenient place to park. In addition, many of the sidewalks within the proposed district are discontinuous and do not fully wrap around each block. This makes traveling through certain areas of the district more difficult as it can force you to walk on streets or through gravel.

PROPERTY USES

Currently, a majority of the buildings within the proposed district are either partially or

completely vacant which gives them a great amount of redevelopment potential. In addition to these vacant buildings there are also commercial and mixed-use buildings within the proposed district.

Just outside of the proposed district’s boundary there are buildings with uses that

aren’t present inside of it. Examples of this include restaurants, churches, and houses.

EXISTING STRUCTURES

To determine an optimal configuration for the art district’s master plan, an analysis

of the district’s existing structures and site features is necessary. Identifying these elements crucial for identifying challenges and opportunities when laying out the proposed district.

The primary area of focus for the proposed district offers several unique structures and

site features with great redevelopment potential. Many of the buildings that exist in this small area were built during the late 19th century and are some of the most historically significant structures in the city. Currently, several of these buildings are sitting vacant.

In terms of function, about half of the buildings in the area were designed only for

commercial purposes. The Riddle Block buildings are the most functionally diverse buildings in the area. Each features a similar program with businesses and offices in the lower levels and apartments in the upper levels. Many of the apartments in these buildings are occupied, but

CONCEPT OVERVIEW MONO

M ono is a prefix meaning one. When it is applied to words it makes them singular.

Examples M onochromatic = One color M onotone = One sound M onolith = One stone M onochromatic figure ground drawings like the one to the r ight are created using single fi lled regions of either black or white. These solid regions represent positive and negative space and can give a single image a double meaning. Is the pic ture to the r ight t wo faces or one vase?

Building a concept around this prefix offers the potential for a dynamic multifaceted design. Architec tural elements can be car ved away and the negative spaces lef t behind can ser ve a new pur pose. Elements can be colored with shades of a single hue. Emphasis can be placed on individual elements or individual people. Spaces can become unified and ser ve more than one func tion.

The nice thing about the design of this logo is that it can stand alone and convey the name of the facilit y without the help of ex tra tex t. The name “Block N ine” literally becomes the number 9 within a block of color. The simplicit y of the logo makes it recognizable and easy to read. I ts simplicit y also lends itself to the minimalistic inter ior design of the facilit y.
