I was delighted to find this amazing building, the creation of the master architect, Louis Sullivan, in the early 1900s. Formerly a bank building, it is now a visitor's center:

The interior is amazing, clean, functional, and yet highly ornate:

A great building, indeed. I find the closeup shots much more interesting, but the shots where you stepped back give good reference to the series.
WOW They are amazing. It is like stepping back in time when stain glass was big for windows.
Very nice!
