Conceived in 1903, Cleveland’s Mall Plan is the second most intact City Beautiful Movement Plan after L’Enfant’s Washington D.C. Proposed by Mayor Tom Johnson, Daniel Burnham’s Group Plan resulted in six iconic structures being built between 1912-1931. Today, one building is being used commercially as the Drury Hotel, and the Group Plan is being considered for National Historic Landmark status.
Characters you may meet along the tour: Coach Paul Brown, Daniel Burnham, Linda Eastman and Mayor Tom Johnson
