One of Cleveland’s iconic buildings could get a major upgrade and offer new amenities for Cleveland State University students.

Cleveland State’s 21-story Rhodes Tower, which opened in 1971, has been underutilized for years because it has unaddressed maintenance problems and it contains asbestos-laden building materials. But university officials are trying again to give the tower new life.

THIS COMPANY MADE SOME OF THE LARGEST MACHINES IN THE WORLD


In 1896, Samuel T. Wellman, inventor of the first open-hearth furnace, teamed up with his brother Charles H. Wellman, and friend John W. Seaver. Together they founded the Wellman-Seaver Engineering Company in Cleveland, Ohio. Their company would go on to engineer and design steel mills and industrial plant equipment, including some of the most important machines of the early 1900s, which contributed to industrial growth in the United States and around the world.
