Society and Chamber of Commerce Buildings

The Chamber of Commerce (right) and Society for Savings stood side by side from 1898 to 1955 on the northeast corner of Cleveland's Public Square. The Chamber of Commerce Building was constructed in anticipation of work to group civic buildings into what would be known as the Group Plan. The structure was designed by the Boston architectural firm of Peabody and Stearns. The Chamber of Commerce would eventually move to the Terminal Tower complex in the 1930s, and the building was purchased by the Cleveland College of Western Reserve University. The structure was demolished in the 1950s by Society for Savings to serve as a parking lot. | Creator: Detroit Publishing Co. | Date: 1900 | Source: Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division
