This 1972 sketch superimposed upon an aerial view of Carnegie Avenue graphically shows how Cleveland Clinic has changed Carnegie Avenue over the years. The sketch was for the proposed new 22-story Park Plaza Hotel and several additional buildings that were built along Carnegie Avenue, between East 90th and East 100th streets in 1974. The Park Plaza Hotel, which later became the Omni International Hotel and which faced Carnegie Avenue, was razed in 2000, after the Clinic in 1999 opened the new Intercontinental Suites Hotel fronting on Euclid Avenue at East 93rd Street. Today, Cleveland Clinic buildings and parking lots line the entire north side, and most of the south side, of Carnegie Avenue East 86th Street all the way to East 107th Street, covering approximately one-fourth of the length of Carnegie Avenue from the Hope Memorial Bridge to Stearns Road. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
