Civic Center Library View

Looking straight south from the library door. It's strange when you go to this building to pay a traffic ticket, or have jury duty, you forget what a n amazing, and fully functional work of art this building truly is.

About this place:

Frank Lloyd Wright's final masterpiece.

Also the local watering hole for traffic court, and civil action. Seen in Gattica, and always remembered from THX-1138. This place is amazing, and wonderful to visit on a slow Sunday if you can find the one working elevator on that day.

With a fresh coat of paint in 2005, The gold tower that pierces through the tree tops that hide this beautiful building, the vivid cyan roof, and building shape that is void or right angles, will mark your memory as one of the most unique building you'll ever see.
