The Van Sweringen brothers' development of the Cleveland Union Terminal and its crown, Terminal Tower, focused rail traffic to a hub in downtown Cleveland.
This development is evidence of the importance of rail transportation in Cleveland's growth in the first half of the twentieth century. The construction of the Terminal Tower Complex served as a catalyst and inspiration for growth in Cleveland. Cleveland's City Council prevented any downtown building from being built taller than the Terminal Tower until 1991, when the Key Tower was completed. At 947 feet tall, Key Tower remains the tallest building in Cleveland.
