In 1917, Czech classical musicians Frank and Fred Hruby founded the Hruby Conservatory of Music at Broadway Avenue and East 55th Street. The conservatory had a branch in East Cleveland, first at the intersection of Euclid and Superior avenues (1921-1949) and then at Northfield Road and Euclid Avenue. Both the Broadway and East Cleveland branches closed in 1968 upon the retirement of Fred and Frank from active teaching. Before the conservatory closed, however, all eight Hruby siblings taught there as well as three grandchildren of Frank (IV): Frank Hruby (VI) (b. 1918), Richard Kolda (b. 1920), and Joseph Hruby (b. 1922).

Today, the building hosts the Broadway School of Music and The Arts as well as a Cleveland Public Library Branch.
