[1]Added to NRHP: October 2, 1991 Superior Building General information Status Complete Type Office Location 815 Superior Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio United States Opening 1922 Height Roof 265 ft (81 m) Technical details Floor count 22 Design and construction Architect Walker & Weeks Developer E. V. Bishoff Company The Superior Building, originally known as the Cleveland Discount Building,[2] is a high-rise building in Cleveland, Ohio. The building rises 265 feet (81 m) in Downtown Cleveland.[3] It contains 22 floors, and was completed in 1922.[4] The Superior Building currently stands as the 26th-tallest building in the city. The architectural firm who designed the building was Walker & Weeks.[3] The building's design incorporates a set of Doric columns in its base.[2]
The Superior Building was one of the first modern skyscrapers to be completed in Cleveland. However, it never stood as the tallest structure in the city; the Keith Building, also completed in 1922, rose only 7 feet (2 m) taller, and thus captured the title of tallest building in Cleveland. The Superior Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[3]
