"Finished in 1893, the interior atrium is the real revelation: a Victorian-style space with open-cage hydraulic elevators, marble staircases, wrought-iron balconies, and a massive skylight that creates a haunting, magical mood; designed by George Wyman (who had almost no formal training), the building is still used for offices and is recognizable from films like Chinatown and Blade Runner." - Maxwell Williams
