A giant oak tree trunk is loaded onto a steamship in the Liverpool harbor in this 1929 photo. It was one of seven oaks selected from an estate in England to be used in pillars and paneling in the Midland Bank Building's lobby. At the time of construction, the lobby was described as a unique departure from the longstanding practice of classical marble columns in banking lobbies. | Date: July 28, 1929 | Source: Plain Dealer Archives / Cleveland Public LibraryDownload Original File
