Walking around downtown, you may have noticed the Tiffany Glass Building.

When The City Club of Cleveland moved out, the building renamed itself the Tiffany Glass Building. The name went up in December 2023 and this past week the new logos for the building were installed.

The building from 1903 and done by Hubbell & Benes was originally the Citizen's Savings & Trust Bank. It had a Tiffany glass barrel vaulted ceiling, the ceiling beams were finished in painted and gold leaf Tiffany designs and there was Tiffany clock in the banking room.

Talk is the building will be displaying some of the Tiffany glass in the future. We shall see!

Outside the old US Post Office Customs House & Courthouse Building sit Jurisprudence (west side) and Commerce (east side). These two sculptures are done by Daniel Chester French.

You may not recognize that name, but you probably know one of his most famous pieces of art, the statue of Abraham Lincoln that sits inside the Lincoln Memorial in DC.

The Old Stone Church has many amazing old stained glass windows (90 years or older) but today, I would like to highlight one of the "newer" windows, from 1967.

It is called “Paul’s Conversion on the Damascus Road". It is is done by a company called Nobis Studios out of North Canton. The balcony bisects the window so depending on where you in the church it can be hard to appreciate the fullness of the window. But regardless it is quite beautiful.
