Van Sweringen brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1541 words) |
 | In 1909 the Van Sweringen brothers began exercising options on 1,399 acres of land formerly owned by the North Union Community of the Society of Believers, better known as the Shakers. |
| The Van Sweringens realized that, if their plans for a Public Square station were to succeed, they would have to include all the electric railways -- streetcars, rapid transit and interurban lines -- as well as local freight and warehousing facilities. |
| Orris was quoted as saying "I don’t know what to do, or how to do it, or where to go from here." O.P. Van Sweringen died on November 22, 1935. |
