It was built in 1919-20 by the Craig Curtiss Company to designs by Griebel and Ebeling.","why_significant":"The building is argued to be significant under Criteria A and C. It reflects Euclid Avenue's transformation from a residential street to a commercial corridor linking downtown and University Circle, and it was the first large speculative commercial and professional building of its kind there. It also embodies Neo-Classical Revival design applied to an early 20th-century retail-office building, and is one of architect George Griebel's largest surviving works.","narrative":"Occupying an entire block of Euclid Avenue between East 70th and East 71st streets in Cleveland, this four-story reinforced concrete building was constructed in 1919-20 by the Craig Curtiss Company from designs by Griebel and Ebeling. Its walls combine multicolor rough-face brick with white terra cotta trim, including an ornate entry architrave, belt course, cornice and pediment, in a Neo-Classical Revival manner. Upper floors are H-shaped, which gives the appearance of two separate blocks. Inside, the entry lobby retains terrazzo and mosaic tile floors and marble wainscot. Its importance lies in Euclid Avenue's shift from a row of mansions to a commercial corridor between Public Square and University Circle. It was the largest professional building east of East 18th Street and the first speculative commercial venture of its scale there. It is also one of the largest surviving works of architect George Griebel, who designed many Cleveland commercial buildings between 1919 and 1929.","period_of_significance":"1920-1946","architect_builder":"George Griebel (Griebel & Ebeling); built by the Craig Curtiss Company","architectural_style":"Classical Revival (Neo-Classical Revival)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Described as still existing in good condition, with no additions made over the years.
