The most beautiful location in the nation for an orchestra to play, and for music lovers to admire their surroundings has got to be Severance Hall in Cleveland. If your Cleveland apartment is not near this magnificent structure, or if you don't think you particularly care for some of the types of music played here, at least do yourself the favor of checking it out. Completed by early 1931, the hall was built primarily from donations received from John L. Severance and his wife Elisabeth, costing over $7 million at the time. Elisabeth died unexpectedly after the first $1 from the Severance family was gifted, therefore her husband increased his donations threefold and had it built almost as a memorial to her. To imagine this building, as a whole it reflects Severance's determination to create an elegant structure of the finest materials, incorporating the most advanced features available at the time of its construction. It was designed by architects Walker & Weeks, the leading architects of the city in the late 1920's when the design was developed. The Georgian exterior was chosen to harmonize with the classical architecture of the Cleveland Museum of Art and with the graceful gardens and pond in front of the museum. Ohio sandstone was used in the terrace and base of the building, while upper sections were built of Indiana limestone. The interior rooms and areas reflected a planned and harmonious eclecticism, probably not too close to the design of your Cleveland apartment, unfortunately. Certain design elements used throughout the hall helped to unify and tie together the diverse styles of Art Deco, French Nouveau, Classicism, Egyptian Revival, and Modernism found in various interior areas. One unifying design motif was the lotus blossom, said to have been the favorite flower of Mrs. Severance. Lotus flowers and papyrus leaf patterns appeared in many shapes, formats, and sizes in nearly every public area of the hall. When first opened, Severance Hall was considered one of the most modern, up-to-date concert facilities in the nation. After nearly 65 years, however, it was due for a makeover. In 1996, the board of trustees endorsed a plan to renovate and update Severance Hall. During the next four years, over $36 million was spent restoring the original stone, adding a new wing of 39,000 square feet, construction of new stage shell, restoration of auditorium and other architecturally important spaces, and installed a new facade. After a short period of closure, it was re-opened in January, 2000. Home to the Cleveland Orchestra, long considered one of America's great orchestras, it is an appropriate place to bring a date from among your friends at your Cleveland apartment. Very ADA friendly since its recent renovation, it is easy to maneuver through the building. To add to the night out, Severance Restaurant, located on the street level of Severance Hall along East Boulevard, overlooking the Wade Lagoon and Fine Arts Garden, features a contemporary American cuisine, good for a bite before the event or as a location for hosting a special event.
