Welcome to one of the most fascinating historical buildings in Cleveland!
While currently housing over 102 apartments, a cocktail bar, and a coffee shop, this beautiful brick building has a ton of history behind it.
Covering two acres, this 175,000-square-foot complex composed of fifteen interconnected buildings used to be a conglomerate of things:
• Cleveland University, the city's first institution of higher education, from 1851 - 1853
• Humiston Institute, a college preperatory school, from 1858 - 1869
• Homeopathic Hospital College, from 1869 - 1907
• The Gospel Worker Society, a nondenominational missionary ministry publishing Christian-themed magazines and Sunday school literature in their Herald Publishing House. In 1922 they rebranded as the Union Gospel Press. They occupied the building from 1907 - 1950
• Joe Scully, an artist and ironworker bought it and turned it into a flop-house/artist colony and held onto it despite many buying offers, from 1987 - 2003
• Tremont Place Lofts Luxury Apartment building, rebranding to The Herald Building in 2020 under new ownership to honor the building's historical past, 2003 - Present Day
This neighborhood has a special place in my heart and has made countless strides in becoming a wonderful place to live over the past few years. After logging this cache, grab a coffee at Rising Star or a drink from La Cave du Vin and explore the walkable, beautiful, sights that Tremont has to offer!
Be cautious of muggles! This is a very popular walking area especially on the weekends.
