Completed in January of 1923, the Cuyahoga Building is a high-rise located at 101 E Birmingham Ave in downtown McHastings. Standing at 84m, this historic structure boasts a gorgeous Beaux-Arts design, marked by it's glazed beige terracotta and limestone facade. The capital of the structure consists of the top three stories. The 19th, 20th, and 21st stories are marked by an arcade of double-width arches containing oxidized copper spandrel panels between each window, contrasting the beige exterior. Beginning in 1924, the Cuyahoga was home to the local Grant & Co. Department Store. However, upon declaring bankruptcy in 1971, the ground floor was left nearly vacant. Today, the Cuyahoga is reserved primarily for office use.

The Belvidere Hotel is a historic luxury hotel operating since its opening in 1920.

The Union Arcade Building, one of the earliest high-rises of McHastings, opened its doors in May 1915. The building reaches a height of 83 meters, rising over the intersection of 8th and Charlotte. The capital's grand arched windows resemble those of the nearby Cuyahoga Building, likely inspiring its design some years later. During the Prohibition era, Union Arcade housed a hidden speakeasy in its basement known as "The Velvet Cellar."
