The Arcade 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. Erected in 1890, the Arcade is identified as one of the earliest indoor shopping malls in the United States. Designed by John Eisenmann, the Arcade is one of the few remaining arcades of its kind in the United States. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II located in Milan, the construction was financed by John D. Rockefeller, Marcus Hanna, Charles F. Brush and several other wealthy Clevelanders of the day. In 2001, the Hyatt corporation redeveloped the Arcade into Cleveland's first Hyatt Regency hotel. The Hyatt Regency occupies the two towers and the top three floors of the atrium area. The two lower floors of the atrium area remain open to the public with retail merchants and a food court.

Walking around the city, I happened to wander through this atrium during the afternoon "siesta" stretch. Nothing was open, and the place was nearly deserted. The light falling through the ceiling and the plants in the middle made the whole thing really beautiful--couldn't resist snapping a couple photos.
The impressive central atrium on the Agriculture Building extends six storeys up. Plexiglas barriers had to be added to the balconies around the atrium, after two people committed suicide by jumping.
