Keith Building
The Keith Building is a skyscraper in downtown Cleveland, Ohio's Theater District. The Keith is 272 feet tall and 21 stories.〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-12〕 It is actually not the main office tower of the PlayhouseSquare Foundation, it is rather home to telecommunications companies and business accelerators. The Trust for Public Land which is interested in preserving parks and land for people has their Ohio headquarters in the Keith. 〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-12〕
At the time of its construction in 1922, it was the tallest building in Cleveland,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/246 )〕 and currently stands as the 25th-tallest. It is also the tallest performing arts related building in Ohio and Cleveland. Additionally, it is the tallest building in the Theater District. Through the 1950s at least, The Keith had the largest electric sign in the world at the time of construction atop its roof, which simply announced it as the B. F. KEITH VAUDEVILLE. 〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-12〕 In recent years, there has been amble talk advancing the notion of putting this multistory sign back on the building's roof.
==History==
Owner Edward Albee II named it in memory of B. F. Keith, his former business partner and one of the most important vaudeville theatre circuit owners in the history of American theater.〔 The Keith Building houses the Palace Theater which became the flagship for the Keith vaudeville circuit, Playhouse Square Center's second-largest theater (in seating capacity), and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, simply as the Playhouse Square Group consortium. 〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-12〕 This in part spurred the city of Cleveland to donate 3.15 million dollars in economic work grants to spear head the starting of the renovation of Playhouse Square as it is known today. 〔 (2000).

In 1980, the firm of Barber & Hoffman, a consulting in engineering company began to identify several structural problems with the then over 55-year-old building and by 2000 had completed a 3 million dollar restoration of the facade and several cosmetic issues.〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-12〕 In early 2015, the K & D Group entered into an agreement to purchase the Keith for what was reported to be 6.3 million dollars in February. 〔McFee, M.J. (February 19, 2015). K&D Group set to buy Keith Building at Playhouse Square - but not for apartments. ''The Plain Dealer''.〕 However, unlike their other downtown properties, K&D indicated that it will remain an office building and not be converted to apartments any time in the near future. In March, it was announced that K&D did in fact purchase the building but for only 5.2 million instead of 6.3 million as reported in February 2015.〔McFee, M.J. (March 31, 2015). Keith Building sells for nearly $5.2 million to K&D Group, as office play. ''The Plain Dealer''.〕
