The Cleveland Athletic Club (CAC) was a historic organization headquartered in a historic building designed by J. Milton Dyer who also designed the Cleveland City Hall. The CAC Building was built in 1911, stands 177 feet tall and 15 stories high. [1] CAB was founded in 1908 and once boasted the likes of Clevelanders Charles Otis, Walter Baker, William Parmalee Murray, and Elbert Baker [2] The actor and 1924 & 1928 Olympic medal winner Johnny Weissmueller once swam in the club's pool and set the record for the 150 yard backstroke in 1922. [3] The club was in financial difficulty in 2007.[4] Recently the building commanded a paltry 3.3 million in a sheriff sale and will be converted into either apartments or a mixed use property. [5]
