The Halle Building was originally only half of its present width. The original building was the portion to the left of the vertical seam at the center of this photo. It was built as a speculative office and retail building by Alfred A. Pope, an industrialist. Pope called the building a monument to his success in Cleveland and was determined to spare no expense. Indeed, the building was extraordinary, from its 42-foot-deep two-level basement (intended to link to a future subway) to its intricate terra-cotta ornamentation designed by Lincoln Memorial architect Henry Bacon. | Creator: J.
