Water, Water Everywhere

Water, Water Everywhere
Almost from the start, water problems plagued the Justice Center. In January 1977, just months after it opened, several floors of the Courts Tower were flooded when, as the result of an electrial power outage, a pump for a holding tank failed. That was only the beginning of the water problems. The Galleria's glass roof sprung leaks in the early years. Visitors often found themselves having to maneuver around buckets placed strategically on the floor to catch water dripping down from three stories above. In this photo taken on January 13, 1982, workers were called on to address yet another water problem, a burst sprinkler line. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special Collections
