In 1917, as the above photo taken from the January 20, 1917 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer shows, the western portion of the John Hartness Brown Building underwent a massive reconstruction which dramatically changed its facade and added 40 feet of frontage to the building. Today the only part of the exterior of the orignal building which remains the same is a portion of its rear facade. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Historic Newspaper CollectionDownload Original File
