This twelve-story office tower stands at the center of the block. The first story contains the formal lobby entrance and a glass curtain wall recessed behind concrete support posts. The upper stories have concrete cladding with each story articulated by raised panels and recessed bands. Narrow rectangular punched openings with fixed windows counter the strong horizontal banding on all elevations. A wide overhanging metal eave caps the building. The south elevation contains a circulation and mechanical core clad entirely in concrete panels with no windows.
