EATON CENTER (CLEVELAND)

The 'Eaton Center' is a skyscraper in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The building is comprised of 28 stories and rises to a height of 356 ft (109 m). The structure, was one of the structures that expanded Cleveland's central business district eastward in the early-1980s building boom in the city.
The Eaton Center started out as a decision by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland to lease land east of St. John's Cathedral to the Oliver Tyrone Corporation for an office building. When Eaton Corporation made a lease commitment for over a third of the building's space, it became Eaton Center. Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and completed in 1983, it was the first all-reflective glass building in Cleveland, consisting of one 25-story octagonal tower. The building has many varied perimeter window-office conditions, a three-floor Eaton headquarters suite, and a first floor of commercial space.
If the Catholic Diocese took the tower as its own, it would been called Cathedral Diocesan Plaza. When under construction, it was known as Superior Square, but when Eaton Corporation moved from Erieview Tower to Superior Square Tower, they renamed it Eaton Center.
