The route I took: Starting at the Casino Garage, I went through the Casino, around Public Square and back to the front of the Terminal Tower. The pictures were all taken on Saturday (9/7).

 

The Sherwin-Williams Sign at the corner of Huron and Ontario

 

Republic Building; Part of the Landmark Office Towers complex, which was completed in 1931.

Moses Cleaveland is naturally a Browns fan.

75 Public Square, completed in 1915

 

Old Stone Church, the oldest building on Public Square, was finished in 1855. It survived fires in 1857 and 1884.

Yes, the two pictures don't line up even remotely well..

 

Society for Savings Building, completed in 1890

 

Key Tower, completed in 1991.

 

Howard M. Metzenbaum U.S. Courthouse, completed in 1910. It was the first building to be built under Cleveland's 1903 Group Plan. The west side faces Public Square and the north side faces the Mall.

 

200 Public Square, finished in 1985

 

Former headquarters of the now defunct May Department Stores Company, built in 1914.

We'll end with 'The Color Guard' statue with the Terminal Tower in the background

Nice pics - thanks for sharing them! In all my photos of Cleveland, I've never taken any of all four sides of the Soldiers and Sailors monument so those were a treat.

Your color guard statue shot is amazing!

 

Thanks for the tour!

Thanks!

Terrific shots! I need to spend more time around the Soldiers & Sailors Monument and study it. It is probably one of the largest such monuments to the Civil War in the United States. It certainly ranks as one of the tallest.

 

Moses Cleaveland is naturally a Browns fan.

 

Probably not. I'm sure he's more of a Patriots' fan. On behalf of the Connecticut Land Co., he came here long enough for a cup of coffee and, before returning home, remarked that the town of Cleaveland might someday grow as large as his hometown of Windham, CT founded a hundred years earlier. In the late 1700s, Windham was home to agricultural, sawmills, gristmills, and blacksmith’s shops fueled by water from a nearby streams. Today, Windham has a population of just over 20,000 people. General Cleaveland never returned to his namesake city again.

 

The guy that did more for Cleveland becoming a major city was Alfred Kelley, and there isn't even a statue to him or other remembrance of him here. At least there's an island named after him.
