Have a rooftop restaurant and call it Peyronie's.🤣 Shutting up now . . . .

Not just you. I've often said that if the city cared enough, or if a non-profit can be formed that can recieve grants to renovate the Erie St. Cemetary, it could be the focus to an entirely new district. It could be compared to Literary Walk in Central Park NYC.

Another portion of the Brown Hoist complex was this building designed by J. Milton Dyer (Cleveland City Hall, Cleveland Athletic Club, Coast Guard Station, Tavern Club, etc.). Although it's currently used only as a warehouse, which fortunately means it's being maintained and not decaying, I wonder if this migration from the Art Craft Bldg. can provide as a catalyst in transforming this very impressive structure as well. Hamilton Ave. is a dense, narrow street that, although tattered and rough looking now, has great potential.

It was the home to Webb C. Ball, a well reknowned watchmaker. https://case.edu/ech/articles/w/webb-c-ball-co

I'm excited to see that corner building finally being rehabbed. I used to work for Daffy Dan's across the street (Global X) and the rancid smell of the electroplating coming from that place when I walked past it will be forever imbedded in my olfactory memories.

I recall someone saying by the end of June.

You'd be accurately describing DT Cleveland of the 60s and 70s. . .to a tee.

This was from the early 80s when the Rose Bldg was Blue Cross Blue Shield, and their ground floor was filled with retail such as the Forum Cafeteria, Back to Eden Restaurant and the Front Page magazine/cigarette store at the corner.

I saw (and like) what you did there.

I've always been intriqued by the old neighborhood movie theaters in Cleveland. So many have been razed, and yet many are still standing. Most have been converted into churches and it's those whose auditoriums are still standing. I've compiled before/after comparisons along with names and addresses
-
Especially since nobody alive today can ever recall that location being anything other than a totally un-utilized slope of land over-grown with vegetation. Even when it was a 'neighborhood' well over a century ago, it was an Irish slum with sub-standard housing and mud. Considering all that, just about ANYTHING (though I keep my expectations high) will be spectacular.

Medical Mutual has a history (apparently) of making plans to do one thing with their HQ and then pull a complete 180° and do something regressive. The One Cleveland Center @ E.9th & St. Clair Ave. was built specifically for them, yet just before completion, they changed their minds and stayed in the Rose Bldg. Cue a few years ago when we were anticipating their site selection for a new HQ, only for them to AGAIN decide to remain put. Anything other than incentives from Brooklyn would be hard to imagine. I once worked at the AG building in Brooklyn and it isn't anymore modern/updated than what they currently have IMHO.

What came before The Triangle and MOCA.

Let's bring 'er back to her former glory!

That's the Rose Iron Works on E. 43rd St. A very old and distinguished company that has produced very fine work in its long history. One of my favorites is an Art Deco screen in the Cleveland Museum of Art.

In contrast to Cleveland's westside or southside, the near eastside doesn't get much love.
-
I've always fancied additional levels to this building (which was once considered and thus structurally feasable).

There are a couple on this page from the PD Special Section of the opening of the CUT.

You talkin' 'bout deez?

Fremont Street in Las Vegas.

This one?

"Of course I'm respectable, I'm old. Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough." -Noah Cross (John Huston) to J.J. Gittes (Jack Nicholson) in Chinatown.

Milton Krantz managed the Hanna Theater for decades, and that theater's capacity could handle most tourng shows, but if a huge hit WITH the star of the broadway production (i.e. Yul Bryner; The KIng and I) it would get moved to the Music Hall because of it's larger seating capacity. Back then, the State & Palace Theaters were movies only.

There's this one at CSU. Howe mansion.

It was a post Civil War era hotel called Hawley House. In its final days it became a flophouse.
