The building rises 265 feet in Downtown Cleveland. It contains 22 floors, and was completed in 1922. The architectural firm who designed the building was Walker & Weeks. The building's design incorporates a set of Doric columns in its base.
The Superior Building was one of the earliest skyscrapers to be completed in Cleveland. However, it never stood as the tallest structure in the city; the Keith Building, also completed in 1922, rose only 7 feet taller, and thus captured the title of tallest building in Cleveland. The Superior Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
