Did You Know?

The Terminal Tower was the tallest building in North America outside of New York City from 1927-1964.

Description

Margaret Bourke-White, the visual poet of Industrial Cleveland, juxtaposes a pale Terminal Tower rising in the distant mist with the dark, lacy geometry of a bridge’s ironwork in this 1927-29 view. The artist sent small scale prints like this to her friends as holiday cards, evoking through composition the grandeur and spirit of this rising city.
