Description
Caption
reads
: "
Cuyahoga
County
Criminal
Court
Building
,
July
1936
.
Cleveland
,
Ohio.
" The
Cuyahoga
County
Criminal
Courts
Building
was
located
at
1560
East
Twenty-First
(21st)
Street
,
next
to the
Cleveland
Police
Department
. The
steel
and
concrete
building
was
designed
by
Warner
and
Mitchell
in the
Art
Deco
style
. The
13-story
cut-back
tower
has a
sandstone
façade
,
while
the
remainder
of the
building
is
surfaced
with
light-colored
brick
. The
Art
Deco
style
was
carried
throughout
the
building’s
interior
and
some
of the
light
fixtures
are on
display
at the
Western
Reserve
Historical
Society
. The
tower
appears
four-sided
from the
exterior
, but
within
becomes
an
octagon
, with a
3-story
rotunda
topped
with a
remarkable
octagonal
light
which
could
be
raised
and
lowered
.
Completed
in
1931
, the
building
housed
courtrooms
,
offices
for
county
officials
and a
350
person
jail
,
which
was
considered
one
of the
most
modern
jail
in the
United
States
when
it
was
built
. With the
construction
of the
new
Criminal
Courts
Building
in
1977
, the
building
fell
into
disrepair
.
Attempts
to
repurpose
the
building
for
other
county
and
local
functions
eventually
failed
and the
building
was
demolished
(sometime
between
2008
and
2010)
and
is
now
the
site
of a
large
parking
lot
.
