The triangular-shaped building set in a sparse landscape of fast food outlets and busy streets exhibits the characteristics of 1950s Googie architecture in its massing, though it lacks the style’s flamboyant decoration and color. The low-sloped roof over the reflective glass building is anchored at one end by a tall, thin slab of red brick and at the other end by a low plane of buff brick.
