This aerial view, likely taken from the observation deck of the 52-story Terminal Tower, shows the fusion of the three buildings, which appear as one. They include the Medical Arts Building (left), Midland Bank Building (right), and Builders Exchange Building (top). All are 18 stories with two additional mechanical floors in the center where they abut. The equivalent of two levels below the grade of the entrance-level viaducts accounts for why the buildings are sometimes said to be 22 stories tall. The white-outlined section of upper floors was drawn to call attention to some aspect of the Medical Arts Building in a Cleveland Press article. If you look carefully at the top center portion of the roof, you can see a long, narrow light well, which spans the 18-story height, introducing light and ventilation just as outer setbacks do. | Date: ca. 1930s | Source: Michael Schwartz Library Special Collections at Cleveland State UniversityDownload Original File
