It cites the building as an excellent example of engineering and construction for its type, with one of the largest column-free interiors in Ohio. It also notes the architects' local reputation and some elements related to Neo-Classical Revival design.","narrative":"West Side Market is a public market building at West 24th Street and Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, built circa 1912 of brick and stone to designs by the local firm Hubbell and Benes. The building measures roughly 241 by 124 feet and rises 44 feet, with a square clock tower at the southwest corner reaching 137 feet. The tower has diamond-patterned brickwork, a smooth stone base and a modified sail-vault dome with small dormers. Inside, beneath an Italian tile roof, a brick vaulted ceiling spans one of the largest column-free interiors in Ohio. The nomination values the market for its engineering and construction and for its continuing commercial role. Owned by the city, it remains in business, selling fresh meats and produce much as it did when it opened. The architects also designed the Wade Memorial Chapel and the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the market shows certain elements linked to the Neo-Classical Revival period.","period_of_significance":"20th Century (built circa 1912)","architect_builder":"Hubbell and Benes","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition, city-owned, well maintained and still operating with stall rentals and retail customers; the vaulted brick ceiling is in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:10.417464-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/73001423.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001423/3bc1cf91c7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001423/3bc1cf91c7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Scott David","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:West_Side_Market_Pearl_Entrance_(_02_).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Scott David</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:West_Side_Market_Pearl_Entrance_(_02_).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71987554","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Side_Market","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2493259"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/cuyahoga-county/west-side-market-73001423/"}
