Sterling & Welch and Higbee Co.

Sterling & Welch and Higbee Co.
Stores After Halle Bros. announced its move to the Pope Building on upper Euclid, two other major stores planned their own moves from lower Euclid Avenue to keep up with the expected eastward movement of retailing. Sterling & Welch, a rug, carpet, and home furnishings store that would later merge with Lindner & Davis to form the Sterling-Lindner department store, built the building at center in this photo. The Union Club appears to the left. The Higbee Co. department store moved to the building at right, on the corner of East 13th Street. Eventually Higbee's moved west again to be close to the new Cleveland Union Terminal. | Creator: Louis Baus | Date: 1915 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection
