Cleveland Law Range
The Cleveland Law Range is a historically significant building in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It was built in 1898 and is located in downtown Spartanburg. The building is important both architecturally and historically, particularly because of its association with E.B. (Elihu Benjamin) Cleveland, a prominent lawyer, civic leader, and businessman who played a key role in the development of Spartanburg at the turn of the 20th century.
Historical Context:
- The building was commissioned by E.B. Cleveland, one of Spartanburg’s leading attorneys and civic leaders, who saw the need for a dedicated space for the city’s growing legal community.
- Its construction reflected Spartanburg’s transformation in the late 19th century, when the city shifted from a small courthouse town to a bustling center of commerce, industry, and professional life.
- The “Law Range” name comes from the fact that it was designed specifically for lawyers’ offices — creating a sort of legal hub for the community.
