Public Square began to take on its modern form in 1918 with the completion of the Hotel Cleveland, the large building at the right, on the west side of the square. This view looks south toward the Cuyahoga River and the industrial flats area, which was about eighty-five feet below Public Square. With the exception of the hotel and a few riverfront buildings, every structure in this view was cleared away for the Terminal Tower and Cleveland Union Terminal development.
