Cleveland


Back in the 1970's, I spent alot of time in the Playhouse Square area. This is an old postcard view of that area. A couple stories from that era made it into the Carlo Wolff book, Cleveland Rock and Roll Memories. The B.F.Keith Building, shown here,is 22 stories tall,was once the tallest building between New York and Chicago. It houses the Palace Theatre, and opened on November 6, 1922. The huge electric sign on the roof was also once the worlds largest.Then the Terminal Tower was built om Public Square, opening in 1927, which is 52 stories.
