Ohio Bell Building

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ohio Bell Building (now officially known as the AT&T Huron Road Building) is an art deco skyscraper located at 750 Huron Road in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It serves as the corporate headquarters for Ohio Bell, a local telephone company owned by AT&T. The building has 24 stories and rises to a height of 365 ft (111 m). It was designed by Hubbell and Benes and completed in 1927. Its owners claimed that Cleveland high school students Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster used it as the model for the Daily Planet building in their Superman comics, but the claim was debunked by Shuster himself^{[citation needed]}.

In 1964, Ohio Bell moved into the new Erieview Tower. The Huron Road building was retained as a telephone switching center for Downtown Cleveland. In 1983, Ohio Bell moved into its current location at 45 Erieview.

The Huron Road Building was built for necessity. Ohio Bell had its switching center on Michigan Avenue (now vacated) from 1890 to 1927. This building had to be vacated due to the construction of the Terminal Tower complex. During construction some 10,000 miles of lines and switches were moved from Michigan Avenue to the current Huron Complex.

It was briefly the tallest building in Cleveland, surpassed in 1930 by the Terminal Tower.
