"The State Farm Insurance Company Building is a six-story, 115,000 square feet, steel- reinforced concrete structure in Classic Moderne style. The building is divided horizontally and vertically into three sections. The recessed entrance opening is two stories high in the center of the facade. The central section, which contains a group of three windows on each flood projects several feet from the side sections. The side sections contain two groups of three windows on each floor. The corner element, set back about 4 feet, has a single window on each floor. The base of the building is rose colored polished stone and the rest of the building is concrete stucco painted pale rose. The building has not been significantly altered. A huge neon sign, which sat on the roof of the building, was removed in 1963 when the company sold the building." (visit link)
