The dome and surrounding land have been for sale for several years at an asking price of $500,000.

The dome, once the largest clear span dome in the world, has been torn down:

The Union Tank Car geodesic Dome was designed by Thomas C. Howard of Synergetics, Inc. Engineer Consultant - Dr. M. E. Uyanik. 1957-8. Buckminster Fuller did NOT design this or any other dome of Synergetics, Inc. Bucky Fuller patented the geometry for geodesic domes.

Thank you for giving credit where it is due. I believe the description reads "the world's first large industrial use of the geodesic concept," not that it was designed by Fuller. Regrettably, this structure no longer stands. |
