    Worked as a temp in the building many, many years ago and later sent temps to work there!

    I always liked this building. And anyone with a learner's permit in the 60s and 70s liked the parking lot, which I think every kid in North Durham used for driving practice at one time or another. :)

    NOT a fan of that structure. I repeat, NOT a fan.

    I have to admit that I am a fan of this building; great mid-century styling,clean lines, restrained, unpretentious, neatly tucked in the hillside making its facade modest. Unique to many buildings of the 1950's-1970's, its design isn't out to prove a point, and unlike many, it has always been well maintained.
