The Superior Building, originally known as the Cleveland Discount Building,[2] is a high-rise building in Cleveland, Ohio. The building rises 265 feet (81 m) in Downtown Cleveland.[3] It contains 22 floors, and was completed in 1922.[4] The Superior Building currently stands as the 28th-tallest building in the city. The architectural firm who designed the building was Walker & Weeks.[3] The building's design incorporates a set of Doric columns in its base.[2]
The Superior Building was one of the earliest skyscrapers to be completed in Cleveland. However, it never stood as the tallest structure in the city; the Keith Building, also completed in 1922, rose only 7 feet (2.1 m) taller, and thus captured the title of tallest building in Cleveland. The Superior Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[3]
