"The window openings were changed and an exterior cladding of brick and corrugated aluminum was added. It remains a local attraction, as well as a nationally recognized example of work by one of architecture's most unique figures.

You can pay your respects to the architect at nearby Graceland Cemetery - waymark WM2V08. His marker fits his style!
