#299 l Terminal Tower l CLEVELAND l 216m l 52fl

Terminal Tower
Cleveland, USA


HEIGHT: 216m/708 feet
FLOORS: 52 floors
COMPLETION: 1930
ARCHITECT: Graham, Anderson, Probst & White

The Terminal Tower is the "grande dame" of Cleveland skyscrapers and the most significant landmark of downtown Cleveland. When it was built as part of the Van Sweringen Brothers Union Terminal station, it was the tallest building outside of New York City until 1967, when Boston's Prudential Center was built. The related earthmoving required for the Union Terminal complex was the second largest excavation in history after the Panama Canal. The Terminal Tower remains the second tallest building in Cleveland and Ohio.

Quite simply, one of the greatest buildings ever made... the culmination of the beaux-arts style in skyscraper.

That is just pure gorgeous.
I bet it's even more gorgeous if you're standing right beside it.

9.0

Actually... it isn't...

I was just in Cleveland this weekend..

The Terminal Tower looks quite dirty up close... especially the rear of the building... needs a makeover

also to my dismay... the 52nd floor observation deck has been closed since 9/11/01

totally lame!

7/10. Used to go gaga over such buildings, but after seeing too many of the same style......
