Spurred
by the national interest in the 200th Anniversary of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition, Hartford, Illinois city leaders wanted to create a legacy structure
to mark the historical event and help the local tourism economy. The structure
consists of a 190 feet tall all-precast concrete tower, high enough to view the
confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to the west. The original
design called for cast-in-place elevator and stair cores covered with
architectural precast cladding. Instead, High Concrete suggested coloring the
structural precast concrete and sandblasting its exterior surfaces, eliminating
completely the need for separate architectural precast panels.
