Society for Savings Building, Historic skyscraper on Public Square, Cleveland, United States

The Society for Savings Building rises 152 feet with a red sandstone facade, granite pillars, and arched window frames across its ten floors.

Built in 1889, this structure remained Cleveland's tallest building until 1896, when the Guardian Bank Building surpassed its height of 152 feet.

The banking hall features dark Corinthian columns, arched windows, and murals by William Crane depicting proverbs about financial responsibility and work ethics.

Located adjacent to Key Tower, the building contains 147,089 square feet of office space and maintains its original restored banking lobby from 1890.

The structure combines load-bearing masonry walls with an independent steel frame center, marking a transition period in skyscraper construction technology.
