George Browne Post, a renowned architect who had previously designed the home
of the New York Stock Exchange, Western Union and Pulitzer Buildings in New York City, won a competition to design the Cleveland Trust Company’s flagship location in 1903. The central pediment displays sculptures by Karl Bitter which allegorically
depict the sources of Cleveland’s wealth at the turn of the 20th century: industrial labor, agriculture, mining, commerce, navigation and fishery. The stained glass dome is 61 feet in diameter and rises 85 feet above the interior rotunda.
