Since the most recent expansion of CMA, the original marble museum building has been known as the 1916 Building. The Cleveland-based firm of Hubbell & Benes designed the museum, which stands in Wade Park, whose namesake Jeptha Homer Wade founded Western Union Telegraph. Wade's grandson, Jeptha Homer Wade II, was the leading benefactor in the establishment of the museum. | Date: 1917 | Source: © Cleveland Museum of Art Archives
