To use one of my father's expressions, "that's a whole lot of ugly".It was built as the headquarters of Owens-Corning, thus the name, in 1969. Harrison and Abramovitz, of New York, designed the monstrosity. Believe it or not, this is it's best looking angle, because the parking garage softens the starkness. The others are worse.
The place has been empty since 1996. There's not much hope of tenants, especially since a horrendous case of frozen pipes played hell with the interior. There's talk of tearing it down. Good riddance.
