This post office, located at 6600 Lorain Avenue, was named after Patrick J. Patton in 1991
by an act of congress. Mr. Patton was a prominent citizen of Cleveland. As a first-generation
American, he was known for his patriotism and his love of this country. He and his wife had
four children, each of whom worked in this post office building while on their way to successful
careers in business and public service.
Mr. Patton spent his life in the construction industry, and was involved in
the construction of many well-known buildings in the Cleveland area, including
the Aluminum Co. of America, the Cleveland Terminal Tower, and the Fairview
General Hospital. Although Mr. Patton passed away in 1983, his family
maintains ties with the community.
