The Dental School spent the first 25 years in downtown Cleveland - the first 4 housed in the School of Medicine's building. In 1894, 2 years after its founding, the School was recognized by the National Association of Dental Faculties. During its downtown period, it also became a proprietary school but degrees were still granted by Western Reserve University. (WRU took back total control of the School in 1917, when it moved to the University Circle campus.)
