I was really busy last week, and so I skipped my building fetish post. Well, today's the start of a four day weekend, so let's look at some reinforced concrete!
This week it's the Exchange Building, in downtown. It's deco! *swoons*
It's so hot, I'm going to let it speak for itself. For the most part. You know I can't help a quick ramble now and again. Anyway, check this place out. Even the signage is nice.
Lots of nice details.
And quite a nice shape.
The entrance is on 2nd is so pretty that my first week working downtown I went to the sundries store in the lobby for lunch. It was a crummy lunch, but a wonderful excuse to mill around in the building.
Speaking of work, I really need to do a post about the Dexter Horton building. Which is where I work. See, this is all coming together. It was designed by the same dude as what did the Exchange. He had a certain flair. I think I'm a fan of this John Graham.

to my unedumacated eye it looks like a shorter version of Zuul's building from Ghostbusters.
They both do have the same grandiose feel to them. And the stepped levels at the top. I don't remember much else about the GB building though. Maybe I'll go watch it.
