About the Tour: Public Square has been the heart of the City of Cleveland since its founding in 1796. Laid out to be a village green, part of a settlement of the Connecticut Land Company, the Square has a unique development history. In 1903, Cleveland’s Mall Plan is the second most intact City Beautiful Movement Plan after L’Enfant’s Washington D.C. Proposed by Mayor Tom Johnson, Daniel Burnham’s Group Plan resulted in six iconic structures being built between 1912-1931.
