After a buy out of the bank I worked for in New Mexico, I was brought to KC and worked for this bank. Not in this particular building but I visited this building many times as it housed the administrative offices of the bank. After many buyouts my department was downsized and I have found my way elsewhere. I remember special evening events held on these marble floors.
It sounds to me like we've had similar careers. Banking was my career for most of my life until I tired of all the merging, downsizing, lay offs, re-hires, etc. I'm in the non-profit sector now. Many of the buildings I've worked in have also found new life because of that downsizing effect.
ReplyDeletewow, what a beautiful space!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! So many wonderful details.
ReplyDeletePS: Rock Chalk! I've got my crimson and blue ready. :)
Now THIS is a library! Lovely columns and detail.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful building, and has an interesting history.
ReplyDeleteGlad it has found a new life! Fabulous space.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a building. It must have been an elegant bank, and it now is an elegant library.
ReplyDeleteBanking has probably been a stressful business over the last two decades. You have been landing on your feet so far. Keep your balance!
Gorgeous. I would spend hours and days in there!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful old building. I love the chandeliers too.
