Cleveland: Playhouse Square, 1930's

A view of Playhouse Square in the 1930's. The old Higbee Co. Building is on the left. They moved to their Public Square location in 1932. This would later become the location of Sterling-Lindner-Davis. The Playhouse Square theatres are in the distance, looking east up Euclid Avenue. The large electric sign atop the B.F. Keith Building reads RKO Vaudeville. For a brief period of time in the early 1920's the Keith Building was the largest building between New York and Chicago.
