Competitors On Superior and East 6th

Competitors On Superior and East 6th
In the nineteenth century, most of Cleveland's newspapers had offices and printing plants in what is today the Warehouse District. In the years 1896-1913, three of Cleveland's dailies--the Plain Dealer, the Leader, and the Press, moved from that business district to the Superior-East 6th area, constructing new buildings near City Hall, which was then located on the site where Cleveland Public Library stands today. The above 1930 photograph shows a part of the Plain Dealer Building (right) built on the northwest corner of Superior and East 6th between 1908-1911, and the Leader Building (left), built directly across Superior by Dan R. Hanna in 1912-1913. Hanna also built the similar-looking Hanna Building on the corner of East 14th and Euclid Avenue in 1921, in honor of his late father. | Creator: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Photograph Collection
