Leader Building, Classical Revival office building in downtown Cleveland, United States
The Leader Building rises 15 floors with limestone cladding and features detailed Beaux-Arts architectural elements at the corner of Superior Avenue and East 6th Street.
The structure, completed in 1913 by industrialist Dan Hanna, initially served as headquarters for The Cleveland Leader newspaper and later housed the Cleveland News until 1926.
The building reflects the early 20th century development of Cleveland's commercial district, when newspapers required substantial office spaces in central urban locations.
Following extensive renovations in 2017, the upper twelve floors were transformed into residential apartments while maintaining office spaces on the second and third levels.
The Leader Building's basement contained the Colonnade Cafeteria for 60 years, providing meals to downtown workers throughout multiple decades of the 20th century.
