I have a confession to make. It's not just old, pretty buildings I love. I've got a surprising soft spot for vintage (1950s-1980s) office architecture, as well. Perhaps it's a bit incongruous, after all these buildings aren't as obviously comely as, say, a famous historic home. But there's beauty to be found in the bold lines and multitudinous windows of these workplaces, too. You just have to look a little harder.
This small office building is, I admit, a bit on the unpalatable side. There is something, however, in the blocky 80s awkwardness that I think works in its' favor. It's almost possible to see the big shoulder pads and garish suits of that era walking in and out of the offices within every Monday through Friday (and probably some time on the weekend, too). It's also one of those buildings that is easily driven by, if you weren't looking for it.
