Abstract


This is a 15 storey building, located in Toledo, Ohio, and will house the general offices of the Libbey-Owens-Ford Company. There is a basement, which contains air conditioning equipment, stores, service rooms, and similar facilities. The ground floor occupies a smaller area than the floors above, and the difference in area provides a covered arcade round the building. The main hall and lift shafts take up most of the ground floor space. All the remaining storeys are devoted to offices. This is a good example of contemporary functional architecture and also an exciting manifestation of the use of glass in this type of buildings.
