A few interior shots of the Landmark Building including the entry, large lobby (impressive) detailing and typical upper floor corridor.  My cell phone camera did not give the space justice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome!  I've always been fascinated by the Landmarks.  I love Art Deco architecture and there isn't a lot in Cleveland.  Can anyone go inside and take pictures?

Very impressive interior.

I don't think so.  I was working a Christmas party for a law firm so I had access to the building.  But before the event started I got yelled at for trying to take some additional pictures.  The majority of the building houses Sherwin Williams.

OMG, Firenze98, what a gorgeous Art Deco interior.  Sadly to say, I guess, is that these palatial interiors will be seen less and less because of their cost or just being "out-of-vogue."  It's no secret, though, that Cleveland is home to classic office architecture of all types, especially older buildings with ornate interiors rivaling this one.  Maybe you'll consider photographing some of these buildings too?  Nice job!

thx for showing us this - wow its gorgeous. kinda clubby and madmen era. well earlier than that.

 

due to tightened security it is more and more difficult for the public to get access to these buildings. a shame we will have to sneak a few shots and get yelled at just to see this.

I love this somewhat secret space.  Im not sure about photography, but Ive never had any difficulty seeing the space.  There is a gaurd in the main lobby of the Landmark, but if you say "you want to see the Van Sweringen arcade".  I have never had any trouble with them not letting me in to see it. 

 

After hours you can get to it through the Hyde Park restaurant, which also carries through the wonderful architecture, complete with a bank vault, just ask the server to show you or give you a tour. 

 

Mr. Clifton, Cleveland is actually pretty well known for having a very good collection of art deco buildings , architecture and even murals.  Some of it has to be sought out (like this lobby) and some has been torn down :-(. 

Thus they are holding the World Congress of Art Deco in Cleveland in 2015 and hin 2006 hosted a several day art deco tour that the participants are still raving about.

 

From one of the stories about the upcoming World Congress:

“Cleveland has such an Art Deco legacy,” he says. “There’s Cowan Pottery, Viktor Schreckengost, Severance Hall, the Guardians of Transportation on the Lorain Carnegie Bridge, which are unique in the world. The Greyhound Bus Terminal is probably one of the finest examples of the “streamlined moderne” style anywhere in the country. The old Ohio Bell building, the lobby of old post office, Higbee’s Silver Grille, the English Oak Room in Terminal Tower — its lighting fixtures are very art deco.”

I was blown away that this large lobby existed.  One more I forgot to post.  This is an elevator with wood faced doors....amazing art deco detailing.  It sucks the picture didn't come out any better.
