Hi, love your videos you’re doing some excellent work. I have a suggestion. Do you feel that The House of Wills would be a place you’d be willing to explore? Has an amazing story to it, check it out and see what you think.

Cleveland has so much history they're just letting rot.

My mom worked there for over 30 years. She was the strudel maker. It’s very sad to see it looking like this now. Gosh, it was an amazing place when Frank and then Margot ran it. Delicious homemade food made by ladies from the Old Country. Cleveland lost a gem.

It was directly across the street

It was a beautiful, hopping place back in the day. Frank Sterle was an immigrant from Slovenia who created his dream to have a Slovenian gostilna (tavern) in the heart of the old St. Clair Slovenian neighborhood. It started small and kept expanding. Great food. Wienerschnitzel (breaded veal), Slovenian sausage, strudel. No menus...your waitress would rattle off the menu from memory. Music by popular polka bands every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I played on that stage many a Saturday nite. When my buddy Chris Benda and I started our polka band in 1976 (I was 23; Chris was 16), Frank gave us our break by booking us at the Country House. The place was always jammed. and the dance floor full. I can still hear Frank's voice in my mind, and the sounds of the happy dancers.

Went there often before it closed. Wonderful building and I pray they do not knock it down.

That place is a maze, especially the upper floor w/the weird half-level stairs going up and down. It may seem like it was getting renovated, but I doubt it, not with the level of damage around it, especially with that foundation water damage. I tgink the uppet level was just better preserved. It's really said to see framed pictures that were cherished memories or historical stature just be left behind or tossed on the ground. Stuff like that always really encapsulates the time before and all it's been reduced to.

Found your channel on the impossible channel. Jayme mentioned your channel. Of course I had to have look.

Such a neat yet sad place. It's sad to see all these places that were once the "life" of Cleveland just silent & now dead. It gives a feeling of loneliness & a longing to see better prosperous times to come back to not only Cleveland but for Youngstown where I'm at as well. Btw, I don't think that place is being renovated bcuz if it was that water being shut off would be the 1st thing the new owners would have done imo. But I could be wrong.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It's sad to see it like this. In 2003 my mom was a waitress there. The food was absolutely delicious! Sadly in November it caught fire. I drove past there today and the bulldozer is in the parking lot.

Your timeline is off. It was Frank Sterle's Slovenian Country House as early as 1975 when my father and I first visited there. The 1977 date was - I believe - a "grand re-opening" when it was expanded from the original small establishment. "Bonna's Cafe" was the original name, BEFORE Frank Sterle bought it and reopened it as the Country House back in 1954.
