Discount Building
The Cleveland Discount Building (now the Superior Building) at 815 Superior Avenue opened in 1922. Walker and Weeks designed the building with a gray granite facade featuring four Doric columns. An ornate banking room covered in marble and mosaic tiles was located just off of the main entrance. The Cleveland Discount Company was a mortgage corporation that handled construction loans. It went into receivership in 1923, just two years after being formed, and its owner later ended up in prison for fraud.

The structure became known as the NBC Building beginning in the late 1930s when the network's local affiliate was located there.
