light in residential common room - Garfield Building
Egg-shaped lighting fixture in the common room in the residential portion of the Garfield Building, located on E. 6th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
Built in 1893, the Garfield Building was a mixed-use structure with retail on the ground floor and offices above. The entire first floor was occupied by the famous local jewelry firm, Cowell & Hubbard. The basement was intended to be occupied by a bank. The first bank to go in was the Cleveland Trust Co. in 1895. National City Bank purchased the building in 1918, then spent $500,000 renovating half the first floor into a public banking hall. Banking offices ringed the first floor, reached by an eight-step staircase.
National City almost went under during the Great Recession, and was bought out by PNC Bank. The building stood empty from 2008 to 2015.
Millennia Cos. of Chicago purchased the structure in February 2015 and converted the old office space on the upper floors into apartments (a common renovation tactic in Cleveland).
A typical feature of many downtown Cleveland apartment buildings is a Common Room, open to all residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Common Room at the Garfield features free beer on tap, free WiFi and gigabit plug-in stations, a lounge, and a private conference room.
