Geocache Description:


Dow Beginnings

 

At the posted coordinates, you are at the site of the 47 Building. It was the first headquarters for the Dow Chemical Company and served in that capacity for more than 50 years. The statue at this site is Herbert Henry Dow, the founder of Dow Chemical.

Just southeast of this statue you will see five brick edifices, each explaining an atomic element with the atomic number posted on the top right corner. You will use these numbers to solve for the final coordinates.
