Located at the entrance to the arcade, the Chocolate Bar is located in a section of storefront that has changed function frequently. Between 1920 and 1940, it housed a men's clothing store, a camera store, and a women's clothing store.  Most notably, though, this is the entrance to one of the most remarkable examples of arcade architecture anywhere in the United States.  Essentially arched passages, usually covered, arcades are widely used throughout the world in cathedrals, mosques, and shopping areas, such as the three Arcades along Euclid Avenue. The most notable of these is the Old Arcade, built in 1890 with financing from John D. Rockefeller and other industrial tycoons. Inspired by Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and other European antecedents, the Old Arcade features a five-story glass atrium with ornate metal decorative work, including fearsome gargoyles with red light bulbs in their mouths. It was renovated by Walker & Weeks in 1939 to include Art Deco facades. In 1975, it became Cleveland's first building on the National Register of Historic Places. Threatened with demolition, it underwent extensive renovation and redevelopment, becoming home to a Hyatt-Regency hotel in 2001.
