January 2, 201015 yr Ok then it is 12/13/14. You kids are trying to make me crazy. It's not gonna happen! LOL Hey i found that it is on the 12/13/14 floors. http://williamneff.com/Images/TerminalTower.pdf but it also has the steps and single rooms going down to the 9th cool. I know my memory is bad, but I thought that was right about this.
January 2, 201015 yr Just wanted to share this photo of a Coca-Cola advertisement for the snack bar that used to be on the upper floors in the TT. when it first opened. Look closely at the black and white checkered floor, the seemingly wooden walls....the telescope... and if you can....(sorry about poor quality) try and read the ambitious advertisement that has the TT boasted a crowning achievement!

January 25, 201114 yr I know this thread is pretty old but I FINALLY located exactly where the Greenbrier suite is. It was driving me a little nuts. I am not sure why, but I wanted to know exactly which windows belonged to the main hall. This flickr set shows the falcons right outside of the large hall's windows. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wellmymichelle/sets/72157623559105088/with/4613881410/ I decided that the Hall must be located here. The windowless, short wall is the fireplace.
January 31, 201114 yr So is the Greenbriar Suite where the brothers lived or did they live in the actual Tower. BTW, thanks for the pics, i've always been obsessed w/this place ever since i went to Higbees as a kid.
January 31, 201114 yr Heres a great read I found in Ohio Authority that I had posted in another thread. Its sounds like they didnt really stay at the Terminal Tower suite (Dont forget they had the Shaker Heights mansion and Hunting Valley Estate as well). The Van Sweringen brothers' tale is as rich as the fortune they would ultimately accumulate. http://ohioauthority.com/articles/region/the-top-suite additional pictures: http://ohioauthority.com/photos/gallery/the-greenbrier-suite
January 31, 201114 yr ^ Thanks a lot. Im still kicking myself over not taking a picture of the exit sign on the 36th floor. It was an original one and was beautiful, not like the ones you see today.
January 31, 201114 yr Ah, I see that I got the rooms mixed up. I still suppose that is where the suite is roughly located.
January 26, 201213 yr What's left on the 43rd floor, where the snack bar was? Just an empty room now?
January 26, 201213 yr I believe the observation deck is only open seasonally during the weekends. It's currently closed for the season. I wonder if it has proven popular enough to be open year round, during the week and during evenings. Especially once the casino opens I think it could be a very popular attraction!
February 20, 201213 yr I hope that they open it again in the spring/summer. Somehow, I missed every date when it was opened last year.
January 18, 201312 yr Just found this thread doing a search on the VS brothers - very cool stuff Are they missing again?? ;) "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
