Alas, not all buildings of the future will (or did) look like this. But it’s pretty keen. The bank building was designed by Charles Deaton, who, not surprisingly, also designed the “Sleeper House” that overlooks I-70 west of Denver.
(I once ran a supers game where both buildings actually were disguised UFOs, though that part never really came to fruition.)
It’s a cool and noteworthy building, and makes me smile every time I drive past it.

“It’s so eccentric. It’s so radical,” says an historic preservation consultant.
My grandparents lived within walking distance of that bank, and I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking all buildings were going to look like that in the future.
Always loved that building.
