The Crittenden is a 195 foot 17-story high rise solid apartment building in The Flats of downtown Cleveland located on St. Clair Avenue.

[1] The building is notable for being one of the tallest inhabited masonry loadbearing structures in the entire world.

[citation needed] Despite the skinny profile of the Crittenden, it is actually quite wide with a seemingly endless expanse.

The building was designed by Richard L. Bowen & Associates, a Cleveland architecture firm that is responsible for bringing architecture, engineering, and construction services under one company as opposed to many.

[4] The Crittenden rests along the side of the hill that leads from the Warehouse District down to the flats area.
