$3 Million Project Demolished After Code Victory
After five years of legal battles, two six-story, wood frame with brick veneer apartment houses were demolished in Prairie Township, Ohio, before they were occupied because they were judged to be in violation of fire-safety provisions of the state building code. The $11 million Reacon Club Towers construction project was labeled “Toothpick Towers” by Prairie Township fire fighters, who fought two fires there.
