The Cleveland History Days Historic Preservation Showcase will tell the story of the Superior Avenue Historic District. This unique arts district is on the east end of downtown north of Cleveland State University. The current redevelopment has used multiple historic preservation tools including the federal and state historic tax credits as well as historic conservation easements.
The tour will include stops at multiple historic structures showcasing development in arts, commercial and residential projects. Key projects completed in this district include Tower Press and GBX Headquarters, as well as a potential historic rehabilitation in the Artcraft Building. Topics to be covered include the process through which these tools are accessed and applied to historic adaptive reuse projects, potential challenges in their implementation, and common misconceptions about the programs.
A reception with complimentary beer, wine and light hors d’oeuvres will follow the tour, allowing for more casual follow-up discussion with speakers and other participants. Attendance is limited to 75 people, so register today.
