Inside The Famous Big Basket Building!

A compliation of clips I took while touring the Big Basket Building in Newark, Ohio. Home of the former Longaberger company it has sat empty since 2016 until Heritage Ohio gave tours of the first and second floor. Originally Owner Steve Coon was going to renovate it into a hotel, but due to Covid the building is back on the market.

The Longaberger Basket Building is a seven-story office building in Newark, Ohio, that is shaped like a giant basket. It was built in 1997 as the headquarters of the Longaberger Company, a manufacturer of handcrafted baskets. The building is a popular tourist attraction, and is known for its unique shape.

The Longaberger Basket Building is 192 feet long, 126 feet wide at the bottom, and 208 feet long and 142 feet wide at the roof line. It is made of steel and concrete, and has a glass atrium that allows visitors to see the interior of the building. The building is also decorated with two giant basket handles, which are heated in the winter to prevent ice from falling onto the roof.

The interior of the Longaberger Basket Building is just as impressive as the exterior. The building has a 30,000-square-foot atrium with a glass ceiling. The atrium is home to a number of features, including a fountain, a waterfall, and a garden. The building also has a number of conference rooms, meeting rooms, and offices.

The Longaberger Basket Building is a unique and impressive example of architecture. It is a must-see for anyone visiting Newark, Ohio.

I worked in that building for a short time. I enjoyed it. Very neat experience.

I went to an elementary school on the other side of town and I remember in like 98 or 99 we went on a field trip to the basket and honestly the only thing I remember was a piano that played itself in the lobby.

It is amazing for me to think that this company was so successful at one point. I visited the shopping park that is down the road a bit from the basket building around 2006 and remember it being almost empty except for the workers. We had a nice lunch there and took a lot of pictures.

A very interesting looking building. Will certainly make a great hotel.

Ha! That was on the market for sale, for around 6 million a year or two ago!

I love how the people of Newark complain that this is an eyesore. To them I say, have you SEEN the rest of Newark? BWAHAHAHAHA

Haha this is somewhat close to where I live, I’ve never seen the interior though.

[JoshSmith-meoe]

It’s now 2021, and I drive by here all the time wondering when will the luxury hotel happen, or when will someone else buy it, or will it be demolished.

The daughters didn’t fail the business, Americans no longer were buying the expensive baskets. Times changed and people change with the times.

I literally searched for this because i saw it on a gogurt TwT

[Adam-cnvb]

I thought this place has been abandoned

[susanh]

Turn it into apartments and I’d live there.
