History[edit]
In 1925, the Cleveland Cold Storage Company designed a 12-story building near Interstate 90 that could store dairy products, meat, and baked goods. Wilbur J. Watson designed the main architecture for the building. Construction started in 1926 and the building was completed in 1927. In 1930 a billboard backdrop was added to the building. The building became an eye-sore in the early 2000s.
Architecture[edit]
The Distribution Terminal Warehouse was near the Interstate 90 bridge in Cleveland between Gateway Vet Clinic on Abbey Ave. It’s architecture was based off a Chicago school.
Closure and Demoltion[edit]
In 2009, the building was 34% vacant as the 5th floor closed, leaving 4 floors owned. In 2010, the 3rd and 4th floor closed. In 2011, the building was demolished to make way for a new I-90 bridge.[1]
Controversy and Criticism[edit]
During the times of World War II, the company and the building was operating well, for a fact until 1967, when the building was starting to get Clevelanders upset about a building covering the skyline and mainly due to the road conditions, so the building was mainly confiscated for the only cold-storage building in Cleveland. In 2006, University Hospitals mainly mounted their billboards due to the hospital was #1 in the Midwest. Later in 2010, when the building was planned for demolition, University Hospitals let go of the billboard privilege, due to the ODOT announcing for the demolition of the building and Gateway Veterinarian Clinic to build the new Interstate 90 bridge, and the Cleveland Script Sign.
