SPYDERCRANE URW706 Helps with Renovations of a Historic Building When Brown-Glaws Contractors were awarded the contract to renovate the historic F.W. Wagener building in downtown Charleston SC, they knew the challenges that lay ahead. Project Manager Marc Eves said “the inability to close roads for long durations due to the dense urban environment of the surrounding area prevented the use of a standard crane.” Built in 1880, and designed by architect Richard P Southard, the Wagener-Ohlandt building is a pillar of the Charleston Historic District depicting Charleston’s transition from Romanesque architecture to the Victorian style.
