Fort Industry Square is a block of 19th century business buildings, connected by an interior hallway, for use as offices and retail establishment. Unfortunately, since Toledo has no competent organizations working at economic development, but a troop of performing jackasses, tripping over one another, it's mostly empty.
The beehive was put there by a bank. Good symbol of frugality and industriousness. Banks used to encourage that sort of thing before prodigality and shady deals became more profitable.The interior of Fort Industry Square includes salvage from demolished buildings, including the bar from the Boody House Hotel ( A story in itself ), stained glass, and tile fountains from the Willys-Overland ( Inventors of the Jeep ) headquarters. I'll post more pictures of the block, when I find the blasted things.
