Never to Be Seen Buildings - Part III (Audience Participation)
It always amazes me how much participation the Cool History of Cleveland site gets from its readers. This tells me that there is great passion about Cleveland - and many people simply needed aa venue in which to brag eloquently about their beloved City. Back in January of this year, Cool History of Cleveland did a story on a large number of buildings that were designed, announced and yet never built in the City of Cleveland. Take a peak here. The responses are still coming in - after almost seven months! Cool.
Recently, Brian Cook of Bridge Partners sent in the following email detailing a slew of buildings that never saw the light of day in Cleveland:
“Proposed Hotel at the current park at the NW corner at Jacob’s field fronting on E. 9th street c. 1996 Tony Milan’s proposed office building/resort hotel just west of the new Federal Courthouse c 1999
The twin of the former Medical Mutual/One Cleveland Center on the Jogging track on E. 12th. Now proposed to be residential as part of Zaremba’s project there. There was another World Trade Center proposed on the Waterfront line around 2000 I believe. Does the abandoned Eaton/Port project qualify, probably not?
Love this stuff!”
I love this stuff, too. I do not remember the second tower being contemplated for the One Cleveland Center. That would have been a pretty robust development in my opinion. And can you imagine if the second tower of the Old Ameritrust Building had been built on Euclid? Cleveland would have had two twin towers! Thanks, Brian for the email. If there are any additional buildings anyone is aware send over to Cool History of Cleveland today.
