Perry-Payne Building
The Perry-Payne Building is a historic commercial building in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Designed by prominent architects for a leading politician, it gained national attention as an architectural masterpiece upon its completion. Long home to the offices of manufacturing and transportation companies, it has been named a historic site.
==Architecture==
Built primarily of stone and designed by the firm of Cudell and Richardson, the eight-story Perry-Payne Building possesses unusual fenestration: its seven-bay facade is composed largely of windows, while the sides are almost windowless.〔(Perry-Payne Building ), Ohio Historical Society, 2007. Accessed 2013-09-22.〕 Its design represents a crucial technological juncture: the exterior is primarily traditional stonemasonry, but reduced stonework — and thus exceptionally large amounts of window area — are permitted by the use of structural iron inside the building. Its floors are made of concrete and tile, unlike the wooden floors of earlier commercial buildings produced by Cudell and Richardson.〔(Perry-Payne Building ), ''Encyclopedia of Cleveland History'', Case Western Reserve University, 1998-04-23. Accessed 2013-09-22.〕 At the time of its completion, the building included a large and unique lightwell,〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 261.〕 an interior court with a glass roof, which has since been covered with flooring.〔 When the Perry-Payne Building was completed, architects from across the United States came to examine its revolutionary new design, with particular attention being drawn to the lightwell; the attention given to the building produced fame for Cudell and Richardson.〔
