The Cleveland House was built, in 1856, by A. Cleveland, and was located at Nos. 46-52 West Lake Street. Mr. Cleveland, with I. N. Merritt as manager, continued to keep the house until 1859, when it was destroyed in the great fire which occurred September 15, of that year. In 1863, a Cleveland House was started at 34 East Kinzie Street, corner of North Clark. This hotel was opened by Robert Duncan, and kept by him until 1865, when August Hendrick became proprietor, and so continued until the fire of 1871.
