This tile-roofed "comfort station," one of several streetcar and interurban pavilions standing around Public Square, provided shelter and a concession stand for transit riders and visitors. It was in such poor shape by the 1920s that Cleveland club women protested its condition. Renovations would accompany the redesign of the southwest quadrant in tandem with the opening of the Cleveland Union Terminal in 1930. Hotel Cleveland, the large building behind the station, is now the Renaissance Hotel. Today the Healthline transit platform stands immediately to the right of the site of this station. | Date: 1926 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Digital GalleryDownload Original File
