City seeks removal of top of O-C bridge structure
When architects were designing the new Owens Corning world headquarters in downtown Toledo, a 1920s bridge and its unique trusses were seen as a historic structure worthy of saving. “We treated it like a piece of sculpture that serves as a great gateway piece to Owens Corning,” said Mark Shoemaker, the principal architect in charge of the project. But now — more than 15 years after the company’s facility was designed — the city wants to remove a portion of that same bridge, citing it as an eyesore and costly to maintain.
