The Arcade in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is a Victorian-era structure of two nine-story buildings, joined by a five-story arcade with a glass skylight spanning over 300 feet (91 m), along the four balconies.[2] Erected in 1890, at a cost of $867,000 ($29,400,000 in 2023 dollars), the Arcade opened on Memorial Day (May 30, 1890),[2] and is identified as one of the earliest indoor shopping arcades in the United States.[3] The Arcade was modified in 1939, remodeling the Euclid Avenue entrance and adding some structural support. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975.
