Fitzgerald Irish B&B, 47 Mentor Ave
Had we arrived in Painesville the evening before, we surely would have
enjoyed the weekly car cruising and car show around the picturesque town
green in the Mentor Ave Historic District where we were staying this
extra day. Alas, we missed it.
A layover day first priority on a bike trip is to do
laundry... Check!
Our few miles this day included exploring the historic
district and other close by areas.
Painesville, settled in 1800, was
named after General Edwin Paine who served in the Revolutionary War and
then settled here. The Beaux-Arts style Lake County Courthouse was built
in 1909, a prominent building on the grassy square. The pillared City
Hall, built in the 1930s, has the same function today. The city appears
to be working hard to revitalize its downtown historic buildings.
