We investigate classical solutions of string field theory proposed by Takahashi and Tanimoto in the case of even order polynomial functions. The BRS charge and the Feynman propagator of open string field theory expanded around the solution are specified by Jenkins-Strebel quadratic differential, which describes geometry of the string worldsheet. We show that the solution becomes nontrivial when two second order poles of the quadratic differential coincide each other on the unit disk. In this case, an open string boundary shrinks to a point.
