Bostwick-Braun Warehouse, 22-46 Summit St Toledo, Lucas County, OH

The Bostwick-Braun Warehouse is significant both for its association with the Bostwick-Braun Company and for the company`s implementation of new engineering techniques. Architect George S.

A southern retaining wall was used to prevent the building`s collapse into Swan Creek. This allowed more space than any other Toledo building of this period. The Bostwick-Braun Company, for nearly a century and half, has been a major force in the industry of Toledo as a wholesale hardware firm. Begun in 1855, the company periodically expanded, when in 1905 plans were started for the Bostwick-Bruan Warehouse.
