The Warehouse District, often called Downtown’s First Neighborhood, is Cleveland’s 19th century commercial center; the Downtown of that era. Bank Street (now West 6th Street) was Main Street for banks, churches, theaters, newspapers, and hospitality. The mix of architecture and scale made this a perfect place for the adaptive reuse that emerged in the 1980s and continues today.
Characters you may meet along the tour: Daniel Burnham, Levi Johnson, John D. Rockefeller and George Worthington
