The building on the right is really unique.  There was talk that they were going to sell it or even take it down,  It may look like a cool building, but it is really hard to maintain the right temperature for the right season.  I was also told that they closed off the top floor to visitors.  There were a few people who jumped from the balcony....sad story.
