1925-1954
Cleveland College was founded in 1925 by Western Reserve University and Case School of Applied Science to provide education for adult learners. The College provided both degree and non-degree programs in credit and non-credit classes.
As stated in an early catalog, "Education has, in truth, become a lifelong process. The individual or the community that fails to recognize this fact will not only lose much of the richness, beauty, and joy of life, but will also fall hopelessly behind in the economic struggle."
Although the Newton Diehl Baker Memorial Building served as an iconic downtown home of Cleveland College from 1929-1953, the College also occupied classroom and office spaces within several other downtown buildings at various times, including the Standard Building, Engineers Building, Card Building, Auditorium Garage Building, Society for Savings Building, and 1935 Euclid Avenue. The last Cleveland College downtown building used was the Standard Building. Explore these downtown building locations on this simplified map.
