For decades, Cleveland residents and visitors alike marveled at the views from the observation deck located on the 42nd floor of the Terminal Tower.

The observation deck was closed to the public due to security concerns after September 11th, 2001. Since that time, the deck has only been open on rare occasions - hopefully it will reopen to the public in the near future.

Until then, these images provide a glimpse of the panoramic views offered from the observation deck.
