The Cleveland bus terminal was built as part of a series of bus terminals constructed for exclusive use by the Greyhound Corporation beginning in the late 1930s. As the last William Strudwick Arrasmith-designed Greyhound terminal built in the Streamline Moderne style and the first Greyhound terminal to be built following World War II, the building marks the resurgence of the Greyhound Corporation’s cross-country construction of a national system of terminals. An unmistakable icon of Greyhound’s corporate identity with its architectural emphasis on the feeling of speed and movement, the terminal reflects the rapid re-engagement of the American bus industry during the postwar era.
