This July 10, 1973 photo taken from an upper floor of the Standard Building on St. Clair Avenue reveals that by this date all of the buildings on the large square-shaped site formed by Lakeside Avenue to the north, Ontario Avenue to the east, St. Clair Avenue to the south, and West 3rd Street to the west, save one, had been razed to make room for the Justice Center complex. That sole remaining building was later torn down in 1994 when the Jail Annex was built on the southwest corner of the site. Another building--the Watson Building, which had served as a Common Pleas Court annex building--was scheduled to be relocated from the east to the west side of West 3rd Street, but collapsed during the move and was razed several months before this photo was taken. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
