Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The lower tracks of the train shed at the Cleveland, Terminal and Valley Railway (formerly the Valley Railway) passenger depot at the intersection of Columbus Road, Champlain Avenue (now demolished), and Canal Road in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

The passenger depot began construction in September 1897, and was designed by local structural engineer A. Lincoln Hyde and architect William Stillman Dutton in a modified Gothic Revival style. The structure was 100 feet (30 m) long and 43 feet (13 m) deep and three stories high. The baggage room on the lower level. At the main entrance on the first floor was a vestibule and lobby. Men's and women's waiting rooms were located on either side of the lobby.The second floor housed the CT&V's corporate headquarters, the third floor contained the railway's engineering and telegraphy offices, and the attic was used for records storage.

The 700-foot (210 m) long train shed behind the new station was only the second of its kind erected in the United States. It consisted of two levels—one for the receiving of incoming and outgoing passenger traffic, and the other for the making up of trains and the loading of special trains.
