(scroll down to CA-7 Public Works sec. g)<br /><br />http://www.co.marin.ca.us/EFiles/BS/AgMn/02_0730/index.html<br /><br />I also read about Frank Lloyd Wright and the Civic Center on the Marin County Free Library website. It said that the spire houses a 45 foot radio and T.V. antenna. No mention of it being for furnace exhaust. So now I'm thinking that the original link is written oddly and perhaps it should read.....the spire was originally designed for a radio and antenna, but was later used as a furnace exhaust flue. ??Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347035499571214378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970078348165680712.post-62543923619349753722011-08-01T18:20:55.487-07:002011-08-01T18:20:55.487-07:00This site below said it was originally built as an...This site below said it was originally built as an exhaust outlet for the furnace and a radio tower.<br /><br />http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/CU/main/flw/cctourarch.cfmDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347035499571214378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970078348165680712.post-80288074216322743342011-07-31T15:48:02.862-07:002011-07-31T15:48:02.862-07:00Good question.
