Tower Readied for Destruction

Jendoco Construction Prepares Stair Tower Facade for Destruction: The brick facade of the three-story stair tower on which West Virginia University at Parkersburg’s name had been displayed is readied to be torn down. (The stair tower has slowly been tearing itself off the building for years.) A long glass “curtain wall” facade will be mounted in its place, with the school name displayed above it, once the rest of building is stabilized.
