The magnificent interior of Society for Savings includes a 26-foot-high main banking room covered with a stained glass skylight. Considered one of the most impressive interiors in Cleveland, there was much concern for the structure's future when the Society Center plan was announced. It was quickly clarified that the historic building would be fully renovated and adjoined to the Society complex by the architectural firm Van Dijk, Pace, Westlake & Partners. The interior frame was removed and replaced with new floor plates, and the main banking room - known as "the friendly center" during the mid-century - remained intact. | Source: Cleveland Public Library Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
