Fiberglas Tower[2] is a skyscraper located at 200 North Saint Clair Street in Toledo, Ohio. Constructed in 1969, the building rises to a height of 400 feet (120 m). Until 1996, the tower served as the world headquarters for Owens Corning, when the company moved to a different location within Downtown Toledo along the Maumee River. Asbestos, which was partially responsible for OC's departure, was completely removed in 2012.[2][3]

The unusual spelling of its name (Fiberglas instead of Fiberglass) comes from Owens Corning's use of Fiberglas as the trademark name of its glass fiber products, as the generic name fiberglass could not be restricted to use as a trademark.

In 2012, the Fiberglas Tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the name of "Riverview".[1] As of 2015, the building is vacant.
