20th Century Society of the Carolina Mountains
ART & ART DECO CLEVELAND 2006
September 13-17, 2006
Standard Building (1924)
1370 Ontario Street. Knox & Elliot, architects.
A 21-story building clad in cream-colored terra-cotta, it features an ornate, "starburst" design. Although completed a year before the traditional beginning of the Art Deco, it comfortably fits within that realm with the stylized, geometric ornament. The application of the ornament is also reminiscent of Louis Sullivan. Originally built to house the cooperative banking venture of a locomotive engineers union, it has since housed numerous banks, law firms, city and county offices, the Marshall Law School, and the Prohibition era office of Elliot Ness. The original mezzanine, bank lobby, and grand staircase are preserved.
