Located in Tremont, the Wagner Awning building was built in 1895 and had continuously served
as a sewing factory, manufacturing everything from tents for American soldiers to awnings for
Cleveland’s largest buildings, until 2015. The redevelopment of the building began in 2015, and
ultimately resulted in an historic preservation project that received local and Ohio state awards
for the care and stewardship put into reconceptualizing the old factory. Today, the building is
home to 59 one-bedroom apartments and three commercial offices. Many of the original
characteristics from the 1890s, including the maple wood floors, timber beams, and enormous
windows openings, were restored and can be found alongside modern amenities in the
apartments—imparting the building with an authenticity that is oftentimes hard to find.
