About this postcard

Cleveland Public Hall fills the view, its long classical facade fronted by flags and a broad plaza with trees and lawn. Pedestrians, vintage automobiles, and streetcars move through the foreground. The building was part of Cleveland's Group Plan and served as a major convention and exposition venue. The printed caption notes its 213-by-590-foot footprint, an auditorium and stage seating 12,000, a 2,750-seat concert hall, a ballroom, and smaller convention halls, and calls it the largest convention and exposition hall in the world.
