The Swetland Building is a tall, historic building in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It's also known as 1010 Euclid Avenue. Built in 1910, it stands 13 stories high, reaching about 175 feet (53 meters) into the sky.

You can find it in the heart of downtown Cleveland, at Euclid and East 9th Street. It's close to other important old buildings like the Cleveland Athletic Club and the Huntington Bank Building. The Swetland Building was designed in a style called the Chicago school. This style is known for its cool details at the bottom and top of the building.

Modern Updates

A Big Renovation in 2014

The Swetland Building got a big makeover in 2013 and 2014. This project brought the building back to how it looked in the early 1900s. A company called Geis Companies from Streetsboro, Ohio, led this big renovation.

This project was part of an even larger plan to update the area. It included another tall building nearby, a 29-story tower. This tower was turned into a fancy hotel and apartment building called The 9 Cleveland. Also, the old Cleveland Trust Company Building, built in 1907, was updated. It now holds a large grocery store called Heinen's Fine Foods.

What's Inside Now?

Today, Heinen's grocery store uses some space in the Swetland Building. The rest of the building has been turned into homes. There are 100 apartments inside. Some of these apartments are offered at a lower price for people who work at The 9 hotel. This helps create a "work-live environment" where people can live close to their jobs.

A company called The Ritenour Group helped fix the outside of the building. They worked on the stone walls, which had become old and worn out over time.
