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 CollectionDownload Original File
