The murals on the west and east sides of the Heights Center Building paint the picture perfectly. On the east mural, folks are lined up for the streetcar, waiting to take off in all directions. On the west mural, shops and stores within the building are illustrated. All the people coming, going and relaxing around this intersection today indicate that Cleveland Heights is truly a destination point and launching pad.
A guy like John D. Rockefeller could have chosen anywhere in the world to live, but he chose Cleveland Heights. The city is within close range of Cleveland, and it's also close to Lake Erie, but not close enough to get blown over by gusts of wind. The tree-lined roads give the town an appealing ambiance. The 46,121 people who live here are doing more than following in the footsteps of Rockefeller. The town, architecturally speaking, is an intriguing blend of the classic and the modern. That, in many ways, carries over to life here. In Cleveland Heights, you get history, modernity and beauty all at once. That, above all else, is what originally attracted folks like Rockefeller to the area.
