Implosion, 1982
In October of 1982, both the Williamson Building and the Cuyahoga Building were demolished to make room for the proposed Sohio skyscraper. Six thousand onlookers watched as Controlled Demolition, Inc. imploded the two historic structures. The archway from the Cuyahoga Building was saved, and would later be installed in the new library of the Western Reserve Historical Society.
