Civic Center District
The Civic Center District, which stretches from the Cuyahoga River to the railroad tracks just north of City Hall, contains some of Downtown's most iconic buildings and public spaces. The center of the district, Public Square, is also the official center of Downtown Cleveland. It is home to the city's largest office towers as well as a number of statues, monuments and historic buildings.
The large public spaces known as The Malls are the center of a historic civic development known as the Group Plan of 1903. It was designed as a grand civic district for Cleveland and includes The Cuyahoga County Courthouse,
Cleveland City Hall, The Cleveland Convention Center, The Cleveland Board of Education,
Cleveland Public Library, and The Metzenbaum Courthouse.
