English: Built in 1904, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by William R. Watterson and Charles S. Schneider to house the Lake Shore Bank and the St. Clair Branch Library. The building features a wedge-shaped footprint, with the larger northern section of the building being the former location of the bank, and the wedge-shaped southern section of the building being the former location of the library. The building housed the Lake Shore Bank until its merger with the Garfield Savings Bank and the Cleveland Trust Company in 1922, after which it was the St. Clair branch of the Cleveland Trust Company. The St. Clair Branch Library of the Cleveland Public Library closed in 1941, after which the space was utilized as a community center, becoming home to the Goodrich-Gannett Neighborhood Center in 1963. In 1970, the bank closed, and the space was subsequently purchased and annexed by the Goodrich-Gannett Neighborhood Center. The building received the addition of an elevator and stair tower on the west facade in the late 20th Century, but was eventually vacated by the center in 2006 in favor of a new facility to the south. The bank portion of the building features a red brick exterior with a low-slope roof, a two-story ionic portico with fluted columns and a pediment on the north facade along St. Clair Avenue at the entrance to the former bank, terra cotta trim, oxeye windows on the north facade, double-hung windows, decorative window hoods, a low-slope roof enclosed by a terra cotta parapet, arched bays on the first floor of the north facade at the portico, arched windows on the sides of the one-story east and west wings, and urns on the parapet. The rear wedge-shaped library wing features less ornamentation, with a Palladian window above the front entrance on East 55th Street, arched windows on the first floor, terra cotta trim, quoins, a cartouche on the pediment over the front entrance, and a contemporary stair and elevator tower attached to the west facade. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. After sitting vacant for a decade, the building was undergoing renovations in 2017-2018 to house an architectural firm and restaurant, but the renovations mysteriously stalled in the summer of 2018 and the developer eventually faced foreclosure. The building has since sat vacant, becoming increasingly deteriorated as the years pass.
