The ''Frank J. Lausche State Office Building'' is a 1979-erected 204 foot 15 story high-rise in downtown Cleveland on the corner of West Superior and Prospect Avenue on the city's Tower City Center complex. 〔http://www.emporis.com/buildings/146862/lausche-state-office-building-cleveland-oh-usa ''Lausche State Office Building'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 It sits in front of the 2002-built Carl B. Stokes United States Courthouse. The buildings majority of tenants (over 1300) work for the state of Ohio government and the structure cost the state $26 million to build in 1977-1979. 〔http://das.ohio.gov/Divisions/GeneralServices/PropertiesandFacilities/Lausche.aspx ''Lausche Building'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 That would be about $83.5 million in today's inflation rate. 〔http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi ''The inflation calculator'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 In front of the building sits sculptor Tony Smith's ''Last'' which serves as a testament to both the city of Cleveland and the state of Ohio's dedication to public art. The very uniquely shaped structure is actually seven sided, which closely resembles the dimensions of the land it is built on as no more land was allotted to the project due to the fact that the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority owned the air rights. 〔http://www.rpmadison.com/id48__frank_lausche_state_office_building.htm ''Frank J. Lausche State Office Building Cleveland, Ohio'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 The building was erected by the firm of Robert P. Madison of Madison Madison International, a famous Cleveland architectural firm. ==Name== The Lausche is named after the 47th mayor of the city of Cleveland who served from 1942-1945 〔http://www.city.cleveland.oh.us/CityofCleveland/Home/Government/MayorsOffice/PastMayors ''Former Cleveland Mayors'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 He then became the 57th governor of the state of Ohio and served in that capacity from 1945-1947 and 1949-1957, having lost in between the 1947-1949 term. 〔http://www.nga.org/cms/home/governors/past-governors-bios/page_ohio.default.html?begin25341aeb-2c72-425f-902c-d68a3c60362c=50&end25341aeb-2c72-425f-902c-d68a3c60362c=74&pagesize25341aeb-2c72-425f-902c-d68a3c60362c=25& ''Ohio:Past governors" Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 Following this he served as a senator from the state of Ohio in the US Congress from 1957-1969. 〔http://ballotpedia.org/List_of_United_States_Senators_from_Ohio ''List of United States Senators from Ohio'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 There can be little doubt that Lausche left a big impact on both Ohio and perhaps more importantly the city of Cleveland, hence his name is etched on the imposing Cleveland state office building. One of the great things about the building name is that Lausche lived to see his legacy cemented in the city of Cleveland and the state of Ohio before dying in 1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank J.
