The Clinic announced at a public meeting in May that it had no future use for the complex, and that it needed to tear it down to create a staging area for the construction of a new, 1-million-square-foot Neurology Institute at E. 90th St. and Carnegie Ave.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s all over for the historic Cleveland Play House complex in the city’s Midtown neighborhood.
Founded in 1915, the Play House describes itself as America’s first professional regional theatre. Its former 11-acre property at 8500 Euclid Avenue includes the Play House’s original Brooks and Drury theaters, built in 1926, and a 1983 expansion designed by Cleveland native Philip Johnson, one of America’s most important 20th-century architects, who died in 2005 at age 98.
