The Arcade Cleveland
The Arcade
A five-storey glass-roofed arcade built in 1890, one of the earliest indoor shopping galleries in the US, with exquisite ironwork and natural light.
The Cleveland Arcade was financed by industrialists including John D. Rockefeller and opened in 1890. Five tiers of galleries surround a glass canopy about 90 metres long. The cast-iron railings and brass details are exquisite. It is one of the earliest commercial buildings in the US to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Part of it is now a Hyatt hotel, and the ground floor has cafés and small shops. It is often used as a wedding venue. It lies between Euclid Avenue and Superior Avenue, a five-minute walk from the Public Square. Entry is free.
