Post and Sons. It is a steel-framed, granite-clad Beaux Arts building wrapped around a domed rotunda, with a 29-story Modern tower added in 1971.","why_significant":"The 1973 listing treats the building as a superior example of Beaux Arts design adapted to a modern bank, solving an irregular site and many functional demands. It also carries sculpture by Karl Bitter and murals by Francis Millet. A 2009 amendment adds the Marcel Breuer tower as an important Modern Movement work.","narrative":"Standing at Euclid Avenue and East 9th Street in downtown Cleveland, this bank headquarters combines two eras. The original building, constructed 1905-1908 from designs by George B. Post and Sons, is a steel-framed, white granite structure with Corinthian porticoes on rusticated bases. Its three office stories wrap around an 85-foot-high rotunda capped by a stained-glass dome. Post fitted the plan to an irregular trapezoidal site, and the competition requirements called for a design that handled limited space and the many activities of a modern bank. Karl Bitter carved the pediment sculpture depicting the main springs of wealth, and Francis Millet painted murals of Ohio's settlement. The rotunda was cleaned in 1964 and restored between 1971 and 1973. Marcel Breuer's 29-story precast concrete tower, completed in 1971, was added beside it and connects at three levels. The listing recognizes the rotunda as a distinguished Beaux Arts design and the tower as a significant Modern work.","period_of_significance":"20th Century; specific date 1908","architect_builder":"George B.
