This week’s Image of the Week takes us to Public Square in the heart of downtown Cleveland.
Originally laid out in 1796, Public Square has served as a central gathering place for the city for more than two centuries. One of its most recognizable features from above is the butterfly-shaped walkway, introduced as part of the square’s 2016 redesign. The updated layout helped unify what had once been four separate quadrants into one more walkable, connected public space.
At the southern end of the square sits the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, dedicated in 1894 to honor Cuyahoga County residents who served in the Civil War.
