is this bulding built on top of quicksand? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.115.117.155 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I moved this from above the WikiProjectBannerShell.
 * The answer to the question is, technically, no. The earth below the Tower is, or is just south of, prehistoric lake shore.  The earth at the location is very sandy and a poor source of support for structures.  Care was taken to drive foundation elements to bedrock. NorthCoastReader (talk) 00:31, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Images
I've replaced the fair use images with free ones from the Historic American Buildings Survey collection. More images can be found here. - EurekaLott 21:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As much as I like the new images, I still say we should at least keep the old construction workers photograph for historical purposes. -- Clevelander 22:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. If you like it, why did you remove the picture of the lobby? - EurekaLott 22:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I liked the image that you added of the tower from downtown, but I felt that the lobby image wasn't as significant as the construction workers image. So, I replaced it.  Sorry if I caused any confusion, I restored it anyway, so there's nothing to worry about. -- Clevelander 22:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I added an black and white image that shows the whole tower from the ground view. -- Gallagm2 (talk) 01:17, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Tallest?
I believe that as of 1953, the tallest building outside of New York City would be the main building of the Moscow State University (240 meters).67.160.19.213 (talk) 00:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

According to wiki the Prudential Building was the taller than the Terminal bulding since 1964 "Upon its completion in 1964, the Pru was the tallest building in the world outside of New York City, just barely surpassing the Terminal Tower in Cleveland, Ohio." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.77.229 (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You're both right. I've updated the article with the correct information. - Eureka Lott 20:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Why Terminal?
Why is it named the Terminal Tower? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.58.61 (talk) 23:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * A train station (or terminal) ran underneath it.THD3 (talk) 19:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

My father, John Nicholas Zadravec fell to his death from the 12th floor of the Terminal Tower in 1971. He was a professional window washer working for Prospect Window Cleaners. Does anyone know where I can get more details on his fall?

Roof height 708 feet or 709 feet?
The information box shows the roof height as 216 m (709 ft). However, three out of four of the cited sources list the height as 708 ft. I think this might be a rounding issue between feet and meters. The CTBUH Skyscraper Center (source #1) lists the height as 215.8 m / 708 ft. Bunkyray5 (talk) 01:17, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

To add to article
Basic information to add to this article: Terminal Tower is one of the most recognizable symbols of Cleveland, Ohio, and it is often lit up at night in symbolic ways (including, currently, blue and yellow in solidarity with the nation of Ukraine during the 2022 invasion by the Russian military). 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:26, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Gallery of tower lit up?
There are many great photos of the tower lit up in various ways, perhaps a gallery of it lit up would be a nice addition? 2600:8806:9081:9F00:FD5B:BCD:85FF:ED41 (talk) 16:26, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
