Bohn Towers

Bohn Towers is a residential structure in downtown Cleveland that rises 22 stories above ground with a height of approximately 204 feet (62 meters). The building combines concrete and glass construction and currently serves as a senior living facility in the central business district.

The structure was completed in 1972 and named after Ernest J. Bohn, who led the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority starting in 1933. Its construction was part of Cleveland's effort to revitalize downtown through modern residential development.

The tower represents a period when American cities focused on providing housing for senior residents through public investment. Visitors can observe how such structures still shape the character of downtown neighborhoods and serve their communities.

The building functions as a senior residential facility located in Cleveland's central downtown area and is managed by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority. Access may be restricted since it is a private residential complex and visitors should expect limited public entry to interior spaces.

The tower stands directly east of the Reserve Square Towers and together they form a striking architectural grouping in downtown Cleveland. This arrangement of multiple towers side by side created an unusual housing complex that shapes the skyline.
