Shopko: The May Co., Cleveland, Ohio

The May Co.'s massive terra-cotta faced structure on
Cleveland's Public Square at the head of famous
Euclid Avenue

An aerial view, taken prior to 1931, when the main store
building was raised from 6 to 8 stories, shows the large,
T-shaped complex with storefronts on Euclid Avenue,
Ontario Street, and Prospect Avenue to the rear.

A contemporary view shows the taller terra-cotta front
on Public Square, and the 1964 Parkade on the
corner of Ontario Street and Prospect Avenue.

A part of the store, faced in red brick
fronted on Ontario Street.

The cool, ordered, yet very elegant main floor
of the May Co. in Cleveland.

In 1964, The May Co. added a large "Parkade" to the
store complex; a complete auto center was located
on the ground floor and the garage provided access
directly into the store's various levels.
