Metal Building History
Ben Logue had a vision when he was renovating the Stratford Building in Utah: to keep its historical character while giving it a complete face lift.
After a $4 million yearlong renovation, the building on the corner of 200 South and 200 East opened its doors as a mixed-use residential and commercial building with most of its original facade restored.
"We've been doing this kind of stuff renovating old buildings for a long time," Logue said. "We believe it enhances the character of the city to keep old buildings rather than put up glass buildings. It builds character and keeps character."
The top two floors of the Stratford Building provide 46 units for low-income residents, while the bottom floor will be rented out as commercial space.
Kimberly Srisa-ad, project manager for the Stratford Building, said it was in terrible shape when renovation started. A fire had gutted the metal building in June 2005 and left it without a roof. Two businesses located there, the Brushworks Gallery and Star of India restaurant, had to move.
With painstaking attention to detail, the renovation began. Logue said they contacted the Utah Historical Society to obtain pictures of the building when it was new so it could be re-created as closely as possible to the original. It was built in 1909 as a Studebaker Garage. A large lift on the interior hauled cars up and down from the basement.
The Stratford Building was updated with a new sprinkler system, electrical wiring, heating and cooling system, plumbing system and roof.
The building's footings, foundation and structural walls were repaired. Insulation was redone. The addition of an elevator, so the building is now ADA accessible, is reminiscent of the original lift for cars. A canopy on the front of the building and pieces of molding discovered in the basement were re-created.
Salt Lake City Councilwoman Nancy Saxton, whose district includes Second and Second, said she is impressed with the attention Logue paid even to small details on the building's restoration. "It's so wonderful, almost like a little window into the past," she said. "The main floor changed quite dramatically over the years, but now the brick is cleaned off. The crown up around the parapet wall around the top has been restored and painted. It's really shown in all of its majesty, the way it looked when it was first built."
One of the most interesting things Logue discovered during renovation was the remarkable structure of the building, Logue said.
"It had a steel structure underneath the brick. It was one of the first [steel buildings] in Utah to be builtl with C-beam construction, like the New York City subway," he said. "(There are) steel columns under that brick bolted together. It's really fantastic, a historical building, one of the original ones in Salt Lake City."

Madison, Wisconsin: The Birthplace of Metal Building
Madison, Wisconsin: The Birthplace of Metal Building
Categories:
Metal Building History
Madison, Wisconson has been lauded in national polls for many of its virtues. But one claim to fame has been overlooked: It's believed to be the birthplace of the metal shed industry.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, UW-Madison graduate student Sally Richie recently finished a survey of Madison's old metal buildings made by tinsmiths George and Arthur Trachte.
She canvassed the city on bicycle, getting off to walk about the buildings to look for tell-tale identification tags and other features, which was often difficult because many of the original buildings have been covered up or altered.
The general steel building landmarks include the blazing yellow Regent Street Shoe Repair, and the Big Ten Pub and Sukho Thai restaurant, also on Regent Street. Others can be found on Park, East Wilson, Dickinson, Thurber and Milwaukee streets.
Richie also found some of the sheds behind homes on Williamson Street and Lake Mendota Drive. She even discovered a Trachte metal shed that has been converted into a home on La Follette Avenue on the East Side.
The Trachte brothers, who grew up on a Watertown farm, set up shop near Lake Monona in 1917. At first, they focused on making rainwater-catching tanks for attics in the early days of indoor plumbing (many of which can still be found in old Madison houses).
Then, when George bought a new Dodge, they built a shed to protect it from the elements. It was a novelty item made of corrugated steel walls bolted to roof panels.
It also dawned on the pioneering entrepreneurs that George's Dodge was not alone. There were approximately 20 million homeless cars in the United States, all of which would fare better if they had a cozy metal shed to call garage.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation became a customer. So did Oscar Mayer, and the Standard and Sinclair oil companies. The most famous occupant of a Trachte building in Madison was the Spirit of Saint Louis, which belonged to aviator and former UW student Charles Lindbergh.
The Trachte brothers' metal building business took off nationally when they began publishing catalogs in the 1920s. Their buildings were especially popular in the South, where they were fire-resistant shelters for cotton gins, as well as warehouses, gas stations, restaurants, airplane hangars, auto dealerships and even vermin-proof summer cottages.
World War II gave the metal storage building industry another boost. The United States bought as many as 170,000 Quonset huts, made in Quonset, R.I., to ship around the world as easy-to-assemble buildings for the military, which used them as barracks, MASH units, latrines and other buildings.
After the war, surplus Quonset huts were sold to the public for $1,000, and they were used for temporary housing and as classroom space. Quonset huts joined Trachte buildings in Madison's burgeoning inventory of steel buildings. When student enrollment at UW-Madison doubled in 1945-46, a dozen Quonset huts were erected on campus.
After Quonset huts became familiar features on the American landscape, more people began to appreciate the lowly, but sturdy and cheap steel buildings. That led, once again, to more business for the Trachte brothers.
The Trachte family finally sold the business in the late 1960s. Its new owners found another category of customers in the fast-food industry, which was then in its infancy. The descendants of those little metal sheds on old Madison thoroughfares include the buildings that housed Kentucky Fried Chicken, A&W Root Beer, Shakey's Pizza, Lum's family restaurants, Dairy Queen and Wendy's.
The Trachte Building Systems grew out of its Madison facility, moved to Sun Prairie, and now is a leading manufacturer of mini-warehouses.

After a $4 million yearlong renovation, the building on the corner of 200 South and 200 East opened its doors as a mixed-use residential and commercial building with most of its original facade restored.
"We've been doing this kind of stuff renovating old buildings for a long time," Logue said. "We believe it enhances the character of the city to keep old buildings rather than put up glass buildings. It builds character and keeps character."
The top two floors of the Stratford Building provide 46 units for low-income residents, while the bottom floor will be rented out as commercial space.
Kimberly Srisa-ad, project manager for the Stratford Building, said it was in terrible shape when renovation started. A fire had gutted the metal building in June 2005 and left it without a roof. Two businesses located there, the Brushworks Gallery and Star of India restaurant, had to move.
With painstaking attention to detail, the renovation began. Logue said they contacted the Utah Historical Society to obtain pictures of the building when it was new so it could be re-created as closely as possible to the original. It was built in 1909 as a Studebaker Garage. A large lift on the interior hauled cars up and down from the basement.
The Stratford Building was updated with a new sprinkler system, electrical wiring, heating and cooling system, plumbing system and roof.
The building's footings, foundation and structural walls were repaired. Insulation was redone. The addition of an elevator, so the building is now ADA accessible, is reminiscent of the original lift for cars. A canopy on the front of the building and pieces of molding discovered in the basement were re-created.
Salt Lake City Councilwoman Nancy Saxton, whose district includes Second and Second, said she is impressed with the attention Logue paid even to small details on the building's restoration. "It's so wonderful, almost like a little window into the past," she said. "The main floor changed quite dramatically over the years, but now the brick is cleaned off. The crown up around the parapet wall around the top has been restored and painted. It's really shown in all of its majesty, the way it looked when it was first built."
One of the most interesting things Logue discovered during renovation was the remarkable structure of the building, Logue said.
"It had a steel structure underneath the brick. It was one of the first [steel buildings] in Utah to be builtl with C-beam construction, like the New York City subway," he said. "(There are) steel columns under that brick bolted together. It's really fantastic, a historical building, one of the original ones in Salt Lake City."

The Race For the World's Tallest Building

Metal Building History
The race to build the ultimate record-busting, flat-out tallest skyscraper on the planet is fast and furious, according to Business Week.
Moreover, the obsession to build mega-structures in nosebleed territory is particularly acute in both economically dynamic Asia and the Middle East.
The frenzy of high-powered steel building projects promises to transform 21st century skyscraper architecture in a big way. Currently, eight of the world's tallest 10 skyscrapers are in the region.
The present reigning champ among skyscrapers globally is Taiwan's Taipei 101, a structure that ascends 509 meters, or 1,671 feet.
Of course, a super-sized building boom is now raging in parts of the Middle East such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. In fact, Samsung snagged the construction work for the monstrously high Burj Dubai, a tower complex slated to reach 800 meters (2,624 feet) — which will easily blow by Taipei 101 when completed in late 2008.
Even lesser-known cities with a burning ambition to make their mark, view big, gutsy, and distinctively designed metal buildings as potential catalysts for change — and are willing to offer serious incentives to get them.
That's pretty much what city leaders in the South Korean port city of Busan (formerly Pusan) hope to accomplish with the planned 560-meter (1,837-foot) Millennium Tower World Business Center, a steel building scheduled to be completed by 2010-2011.
It will be no bland monolith, featuring three tapered towers emerging from a powerful base foundation of floors, and offering absolutely stunning ocean and mountain views.
These structures are about more than just civic pride. Skyscrapers, if done right, can be a real economic-development driver. Consider the 452-meter (1,483-foot) Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, built in 1998, the world's tallest until it was eclipsed by Taipei 101 six years later.
The Petronas Towers may no longer be the tallest building in the world, but it changed Malaysia and the perception of Kuala Lumpur worldwide, says Goh Tuan Sui, CEO of property consultancy WTW Malaysia.
"A world-class building can also raise the bar for other buildings in the city, be it malls, office blocks, or hotels," he adds.
Whether the Millennium Tower in Busan (a city also hoping to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games) results in a huge economic lift is uncertain, but plenty of cities in Asia are willing to roll the dice.
That is, of course, some great news for both architectural and general steel building firms.

Landmark Metal Building For Sale in Chicago
Landmark Metal Building For Sale in Chicago

Metal Building History
Another of Chicago's architectural gems is going up for sale, as Frank Gehry and the other owners of the Inland Steel Building look to cash in on fierce investor demand for downtown office buildings.
Sources say the real estate firm Eastdil Secured LLC has been hired to market the 19-story steel building, which served as a model for current skyscraper design when it was constructed in 1957.
Today, the distinctive metal building may instead serve as an economics lesson about the heated real estate investment market.
Only in the current environment could a commercial metal building, in less than two years, lose its largest tenant, making up about a fifth of the space, but see its value jump by more than 20 percent.
No steel building prices have yet been set for the property, but some predict that the 228,500-square-foot structure could command about $55 million. Others say the price could reach $65 million, an astounding 46 percent increase.
A venture that includes Gehry, investor Alfred D'Ancona and real estate executive Harvey Camins bought the steel building in August 2005 for $44.5 million, property records show.
Mr. Camins, chief executive with Chicago-based brokerage Camins Tomasz Kritt, and an Eastdil Secured executive decline to comment.
Originally, Messrs. Gehry, D'Ancona and Camins intended to own the property longer, but they have apparently changed their plans as more landmark metal buildings are swept up in this robust market.
In a highly leveraged deal, the Gehry-D'Ancona-Camins venture borrowed about 80 percent of the purchase price. AIG Mortgage Capital LLC issued a first mortgage, with a maximum balance of $36.25 million, and Transwestern Investment Co. issued a second mortgage of up to $6 million.
Designed by architectural firm Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP, the Inland Steel Building achieved several firsts, including:
Pioneering use of stainless-steel exterior.
Column-free floors, which CoStar says are about 12,000 square feet.
A metal building foundation of steel pilings.
First fully air-conditioned office building, and the first to have an underground parking garage.

Historic Metal Building Sale Upsets Architect

Two years ago, some investors used the star power of architect Frank Gehry to help them buy Chicago's Inland Steel Building with plans to update the landmark structure and preserve its unique character.
Now those same investors are trying to sell the historic metal building - much to the architect's dismay.
"When you buy a landmark, you have a certain responsibility," Gehry said to the Chicago Tribune. "It upsets me that these guys are taking the easy way out. To just dump it on the market isn't responsible."
In August 2005 a group of investors that included Harvey Camins paid $44.5 million for the commercial steel building, and Gehry wound up with roughly a 3 percent stake without putting any money into the deal.
"I'm sorry he feels that way," Camins said.
"We bought the building as a real estate investment and because we all love it. But the market is such today that we must explore a sale."
Sale prices have jumped 19 percent in the past 12 months in the downtown office market, and it's tempting for property owners to take advantage of the fabulous run-up in real estate values.
But Gehry got involved in the purchase because the 19-story steel building, finished in 1958, is an historical and architectural landmark and one of his favorites. He's angry and disappointed that it's back on the block, its fate uncertain.
"I am not taking advantage of the market. I got into this to save the building," Gehry said. "I don't want to be linked to such opportunism.
"It's one of my favorite buildings, and the only reason it was sold to someone like me was to preserve it," added Gehr.
The metal building is expected to sell for about $55 million and is being marketed by Eastdil Secured.
"We've invested $2 million to upgrade the corridors, bathrooms," said Camins. "We brought the lobby back to its original luster and installed a new security desk. We've been aggressively marketing it, but Chicago is recovering from a very tough market."
In 2005 the building had a 2 percent vacancy rate, but its largest tenant, Mittal Steel, has since moved out and the structure is now 19.3 percent vacant, according to CoStar Group Inc.
Despite that problem, the first downtown office designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill LLP is likely to fetch a handsome price.
The recent rapid appreciation of downtown property is set to accelerate even more in coming weeks when the Chicago portfolio of the former Equity Office Properties Trust is sold.
But for Gehry, who said he might receive about $240,000 from a sale, the steel building price isn't the issue.
"It's an important building," Gehry said of the first skyscraper to be built with a steel-and-glass cladding and column-free interior space, and on steel pilings rather than on concrete.
For 50 years, Gehry has admired what was once the headquarters of Inland Steel. In 2005, then-owner St. Paul Travelers Cos. wasn't interested in selling until it learned that Gehry was among the suitors.
"I thought they would update it in the spirit of the design and that I'd help bring it up," Gehry said Thursday of his ownership group

Steel Building Officially Becomes City's Tallest
Steel Building Officially Becomes City's Tallest

Metal Building History
A milestone was marked in Philadelphia Monday as a newly constructed metal building became the City of Brotherly Love's tallest - and the highest in the United States between New York and Chicago.
The final beam was placed on the steel building that will become the new Comcast Center at 17th and John F. Kennedy streets.
Pressing a red power button on a giant remote control, Ralph Roberts set in motion - symbolically - the ascent of a steel beam to the top of Comcast Center.
It's the last beam in what is now Philadelphia's tallest steel building - or structure of any sort.
The Comcast Center will be 975 feet tall, 30 feet taller than One Liberty Place, which has been Philadelphia's tallest building.
The project broke ground in January 2005, and with the steel building frame already in place, it is scheduled for completion in spring.
Roberts is the 87-year-old founder of Comcast, which is leasing nearly 90 percent of the building for the cable giant's new headquarters.
When completed, the 975-foot commercial metal building will be the tallest skyscraper between New York and Chicago.
The ceremony Monday heralded the hoisting of the beam to the highest structural point of the steel building.
The beam held a small bronze statue of William Penn. Until 1987, developers kept steel buildings shorter than a statue of Penn atop City Hall.
But all eyes are on the newest skyscraper - a steel building that will transform the Philadelphia skyline and, some believe, give this old city a renewed vitality.
"We have spent an awful amount of time improving the quality of life of people who live in the neighborhoods but they have to have a place to work," Mayor John Street said.
The Comcast Center is - like more and more landmark metal buildings of the 21st Century - a green building and environmentally friendly.
"It's very sensitive. Whether it's using waterless urinals to decrease the amount of water usage or the amount of glass for light, more natural light in, therefore less electricity. It was also designed post- 9-11, so it is a stunning, secure and safe steel building," William Handkowsky, president and CEO of Liberty Property Trust, said.

The project broke ground in January 2005, and with the steel building frame already in place, it is scheduled for completion in spring.
Roberts is the 87-year-old founder of Comcast, which is leasing nearly 90 percent of the building for the cable giant's new headquarters.
When completed, the 975-foot commercial metal building will be the tallest skyscraper between New York and Chicago.
The ceremony Monday heralded the hoisting of the beam to the highest structural point of the steel building.
The beam held a small bronze statue of William Penn. Until 1987, developers kept steel buildings shorter than a statue of Penn atop City Hall.
But all eyes are on the newest skyscraper - a steel building that will transform the Philadelphia skyline and, some believe, give this old city a renewed vitality.
"We have spent an awful amount of time improving the quality of life of people who live in the neighborhoods but they have to have a place to work," Mayor John Street said.
The Comcast Center is - like more and more landmark metal buildings of the 21st Century - a green building and environmentally friendly.
"It's very sensitive. Whether it's using waterless urinals to decrease the amount of water usage or the amount of glass for light, more natural light in, therefore less electricity. It was also designed post- 9-11, so it is a stunning, secure and safe steel building," William Handkowsky, president and CEO of Liberty Property Trust, said.

A Purdue University study into steel building design and safety, funded by the National Science Foundation, used 3-D animation to provide visual context to the September 11 attacks.
A computer simulation of the World Trade Center attacks supported a federal agency's findings that the initial impact from the hijacked planes stripped away crucial fireproofing material and that the weakened towers collapsed under their own weight.
"One thing it does point out is the essential nature of fireproofing steel buildings," Christoph Hoffmann, a professor of computer science and one of the lead researchers on the project, told The Associated Press.
"This is something that wasn't done originally in the World Trade Center when it was built. It wasn't code at that time."
Mete Sozen, a professor of structural engineering and an investigator on the simulation, said Purdue researchers hope their work leads to better metal building structural design and codes to prevent similar collapses.
"In the unfortunate development that we shall have to design structures to survive such events, the methods we have developed and will be developing will be of great use to designers," Sozen said.
The animation, intended to help engineers design safer steel buildings, begins with a map of lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001.
The video then shows a chilling scene - a plane slicing through several stories of the north tower and follows a disintegrating plane through the interior and out the opposite side of the steel building.
The report concludes that the weight of the aircraft's fuel, when ignited, produced "a flash flood of flaming liquid" that knocked out a number of structural columns within the commercial metal building and removed the fireproofing insulation from other support structures.
Ayhan Irfanoglu, a Purdue professor of civil engineering, said half of the steel building's weight-bearing columns are concentrated at the cores of the towers "when that is wiped out, the structure comes down."
A 2005 report followed a three-year investigation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a federal engineering agency, and recommended that cities raise fire standards for skyscrapers - and develop new materials that can better protect tall metal buildings from fire.
That analysis did not blame the collapse on the steel building frame or design of the towers, but focused on the fireproofing.
The animation is the latest project by the Purdue team to assess the damage from September 11. The team previously studied the impact of the crash into the Pentagon

The Guelph, Ontario, city council signaled intent to protect the facade of a 19th-century steel building with a heritage designation.
The move, approved at a special council meeting, came within hours of the property owner's application for a permit to demolish what's left of the metal building.
Located on Wyndham St., the commercial steel building was severely damaged in a fire that also ravaged several historic buildings on Douglas Street.
Most of the building, known as the Victoria Hotel when it was built in the 1850s, was demolished after the fire. The footings and stone wall that remain suffered major heat damage.
The metal building's facade can no longer be altered or demolished until council revisits the issue after a 30-day public commenting period.
At that point, council members will decide whether to pass a bylaw that registers the heritage designation on the property or to withdraw the notice, halting the process.
One question still to be answered is who will cover the costs associated with bracing the wall, the recommended course of action given the hazard posed.
Temporary wood bracing for the steel building, which would last until winter, is estimated at $46,000.
A permanent steel building frame, which could be incorporated into a new building, would cost about $100,000.
The property owner, Barry Malinski, who was represented at the meeting by his wife Orycia Malinski, has indicated he does not have the means to pay for the renovations.
But now that the steel building cannot be torn down, alternatives - and how to fund them - will be discussed in the coming months.
The biggest concern of all may not be those costs, but what will happen if the facade isn't reinforced soon.
Winmar Restoration, the contractor in charge of demolition, said the metal building is only being held up by the facades on either side of it.
For that reason, a fence remains on Douglas Street to block pedestrian and vehicle traffic from getting too close.
KML Building Solutions, a firm specializing in steel frame building work, has already provided an engineer at no cost to scope out the site and has indicated a potential interest in donating more

Metal Building History
When missionaries traveling west in the 1800s came upon the Mississippi River, they usually turned back instead of crossing.
When local Baptists came to Goose Creek in Jackson, Mo., in 2005, they went through it and followed the gravel road to the site of Old Bethel, the first Baptist church built west of the Mississippi.
Their mission: Rebuild the church.
The original Old Bethel was built in 1806, after the Louisiana Purchase gave control of the land to the United States.
It has been rebuilt over the past two years using original materials and the same construction methods used in the 19th century.
The brick, wood and steel building was officially called Bethel Baptist Church, but most know it as Old Bethel.
The Missouri Baptist Convention currently owns the building and has funded the project through contributions.
About 60 volunteers worked Thursdays through Saturdays for four to five hours a day for two years to construct what they think the original metal building looked like. Ten to 12 volunteers worked at any one time.
Now the building is finished, with heat and air conditioning installed, and a new roof atop the metal building to protect it.
The building is fitted for electricity but runs on a generator at the present time. The land the building sits on must be owned by the city of Jackson before power can be run out there.
The steel building itself was only part of the project. The gravel road out to the church has been widened. The creek now has a low-water bridge to make the passage across easier.
Before the road was fixed and the bridge installed, only tractors and four-wheel-drive trucks could access the site because the church is set behind an industrial park and surrounded by fields and woods.

Metal Building History
In 1942, a 31-story metal building in Dallas was the only U.S. skyscraper of its size built during World War II.
The War Department gave Dallas banker R.L. Thornton special permission for the construction of the Mercantile National Bank Building.
The steel for the building had already been fabricated, so it wasn't economical to halt construction and reuse the metal for battleships and tanks.
Once the tallest metal building in the state, the $1.8 million limestone and brick tower at Main and Ervay streets was designed by architect Walter Ahlschlager, who did Manhattan's landmark Roxy Theater and the historic Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn.
The steel building's signature clock tower was added later.
Renovations to the building and additions on the east side in the '50s and '60s obscured the the original facade on lower floors.
Those additions have now been demolished, and the original exterior is being restored atop the steel building frame.
Originally home to Mercantile National Bank, later Mbank, the metal building has been vacant since 1993.
With 900,000 square feet in the complex, it was the largest vacant office block in downtown Dallas.
The Merc is being rehabbed into 215 apartments with two floors of retail space at the bottom. The first phase opens in February.
A second steel building under construction next door will have more than 150 apartments, and is set to open in late 2008.
