Nicholas Building

First curtain-wall structure in Toledo.

Lee DeForrest broadcast from an antenna on it's roof sometime around 1906.

Seems to me about the same time a rigid airship once moored to the top also, but my memory is more vague on this. Maybe someone else can supply more details.

Interesting old office cubicles inside -- at least they were still there in the mid-1960's.; June 14, 2008 at 9:35 PM

Never saw the upper floors, but the bank that owned it probably changed a good bit of it since the 60's.; June 14, 2008 at 10:04 PM
