Cleveland Trust Company Building, Beaux-Arts bank building in Downtown Cleveland, United States
The Cleveland Trust Company Building is a four-story bank building at East 9th Street and Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland, designed by George B. Post and completed in 1907. It mixes Beaux-Arts, Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival styles, with a glass-enclosed rotunda, a tympanum sculpture and interior murals. When finished it was the third largest bank building in the United States.
The building was designed by George B. Post in 1907 and ranked among the largest bank structures in the United States at the time of completion. Its impressive architecture made it a symbol of financial power in that era.
The rotunda features thirteen murals by Francis David Millet showing scenes of exploration and settlement from early American history. These paintings fill the walls and tell stories about how the nation developed over time.
The building now houses a large grocery store occupying two floors with various specialty departments inside. Visitors can explore the historical spaces while browsing shops and services located throughout the interior.
The below-ground floor held a 200-short-ton bank vault with a 17-short-ton door, the largest bank vault in Ohio when the building opened. The vault sat beneath the banking hall rather than in the rotunda itself.
