Cleveland Arcade Photo Gallery

With an international reputation as one of the finest buildings of its type, The Arcade has attracted tourists and Clevelanders alike to its stunning retail concourse since opening in May of 1890 the first large scale indoor shopping mall in the United States and first skyscraper in Cleveland. Historically, an arcade is a covered passageway lined with shops creating a competitive advantage for small and midsized retailers by providing a variety of shops, services and eateries all under one roof! The Arcade was the first building in Cleveland and ninth in the U.S. to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
