The Hall Block, Downtown Toledo

This was at Jefferson and St. Clair. The cupola at the corner was deliberately put there, by architects James Young and Carl Schon, to match that of the Boody House Hotel, at Madison and St. Clair. The tower, in the middle of the block was the First Congregational Church.
The Hall Block was built in 1875, but only lasted seven years. It was destroyed in a spectacular fire, on December 15, 1882.
