Gardner Building (Toledo, Ohio)

6 story, 66,735 sq. ft. office building constructed in 1893 was one of the first buildings in Toledo constructed of reinforced concrete. Architect Charles Gardner adopted an early Renaissance style similar to the Strozzi Palace in Florence, Italy.

Owned by the Gardner family until 1969, the building was threatened with demolition in 1986. At that time the Landmarks Preservation Council of Northwest Ohio helped pass legislation to prohibit demolition within downtown Toledo until a comprehensive study could be undertaken. The property was subsequently acquired by the Gardner Restoration Committee and rehabilitated.
