TRAVEL PHOTOS - OHIO REST FACILITIES

7/9/2013

During the week of July 4, my family and I took a trip to the Toledo, Ohio area to visit family.  While there, I took photos of a couple of interesting “rest facilities” in the Toledo area.

The first structure is a small shelter located on the grounds of the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge.  The refuge, one of the top birding spots in North America, is a restored wetland habitat on the south shore of Lake Erie.  

The shelter provides a covered picnic area, restrooms, maps and other information about the refuge.  

Although modest, it is made special by the arched glulam beams, exposed metal connectors, slatted display boards, textured materials and the rhythm of the evenly-spaced posts supporting the roof.

RHYTHM CREATED BY ALTERNATING BRICK PIERS AND GLAZING
The second structure is a rest plaza on the Ohio tollway near Toledo.  It is one of the more elegant rest plazas I’ve seen, with curved brick walls, a barrel roof and clerestory windows above the food court.
