The excellect article and links on the Cleveland Arcade mentioned that construction was financed by John D. Rockefeller and "several other wealthy Clevelanders of the day".

Who were the "several other wealthy Clevelanders" referred to in your article ?

If I have used this talk page incorrectly, apologies. There are so many guidelines and links; it all gets a little overwhelming for a 1st time visitor.

If I am signing off incorrectly, apologies for that also.

Thank you in advance for any help provided

".......the Arcade opened on Memorial Day (May 31, 1890), and is identified as the first indoor shopping mall in the United States......"

I believe that honor goes to the Arcade in Providence, Rhode Island. Goes by the name "Westminster Arcade" (on Westminster Street) or "Providence Arcade", or to the locals, "The Arcade". Built in 1828, the first enclosed shopping mall in the USA.

New to this, so apologies in advance if I'm doing this wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clamshack2 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
