The Kingsbury Building was built by the Bolton-Pratt Construction Co. for the Leemore Co., a syndicate headed by Karl Pratt. Designs for the structure were created by Walker and Weeks, one of the most prolific and prestigious architectural firms in Cleveland during the first half of the 20th century. Walker and Weeks are best known for their work on the Cleveland Public Library, Severance Hall, and the Federal Reserve Building. The Kingsbury Building was designated a landmark on October 21, 1997. | Source: City of Shaker Heights Planning DepartmentDownload Original File
