The Guardian Bank Building (originally known as the New England Building and later known as the National City Bank Building) is a high{{En dash}}rise building on Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.
Description and history
It was built in 1896 and stands adjacent to National City Center (now PNC Center). At {{convert|221|ft|m}} tall, it was once one of the tallest buildings in America and tallest in Cleveland until 1922 when it was surpassed by the Keith Building.
