Best view in Cleveland ✨ Hoisted atop Terminal Tower’s 70-foot flagpole, a camera captures the view in 1927. Automobiles are black beetles; Hotel Cleveland is a yawning pit 771-feet below. Built in 1918, the $4.5 million, 1,000-room hotel joined the new Union Terminal complex (officially dedicated June 28, 1930) in the 1920s. The rapid transit tunneled beneath. For almost 30 years, the tower-hotel duo incinerated night’s pitch; the hotel’s name like filament, the sepulchral-like tower a phosphorescent ghost. 📍Click the link in bio for more on Cleveland’s iconic view. ✒️ Becky Boban 📸 clevelandpubliclibrary #cleveland #bestofcle #clevelandhistory #terminaltower #thisiscle
