This remarkable Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired complex includes the original landscaping. Wrightian influences include the rock-faced limestone battered base of the building, horizontal rows of ribbon windows, and cantilevered cast-concrete fascias with molded geometric designs reminiscent of Wright's Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. The sunken public lobby has a circular seating area, rock-faced walls, and a cast-concrete coffered ceiling. Upgrades in 2004 added sympathetically designed outbuildings.
